Both the pious and an adventure seeking traveler would love to visit this place Kailash Mansarovar, at least once in their lifetime. Because such places will shape a person both physically and mentally stronger and wiser. Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and the border tensions between India and China the journey/Yatra has been halted for five years. After the mutual agreement between these two nations, it is officially declared that tourism in Mansarovar will begin in 2025.
