The Uttarakhand government and the Centre have been exploring alternate routes to offer devotees a glimpse of Mount Kailash as China is making it difficult for pilgrims to visit the holy place. Stringent visa rules and an increase in yatra expenditure by China makes it virtually impossible for pilgrims to visit Mount Kailash.
The Kailash-Mansarovar yatra through the Lipulekh Pass, which was postponed due to the Covid pandemic, has not resumed.
Such a long stall has contributed to the efforts by the Indian aurhorities in preparing an alternative path for the devotees to access the Mount Kailash. Now the devotees don't have to go to China for a darshan of Lord Shiva's abode.
Officials said that the Border Roads Organisation has begun the work on cutting of the road from KMVN Huts in Nabhidhang in Pithoragarh district to Lipulekh pass on the India-China border, which will be completed by September.
Kailash View Point is being developed
After the completion of the road, 'Kailash View Point' will be ready along the road. The project has been named Hirak Project. Under this 'Kailash View Point' is being developed by the Indian government.
Vimal Goswami, chief engineer of BRO's Hirak Project, said, "We have started the work of cutting the road from KMVN Huts to Lipulekh Pass in Nabhidhang, which is about six and half
Goswami said that a lot of road cutting work has been done and if the weather is favourable, it will be finished by September.
