The Ministry of External Affairs has conducted the computerized draw for selection of Yatris who had registered for the upcoming Kailash Manasarovar Yatra 2025. The selected Yatris will embark on a pilgrimage journey starting from June 2025 and concluding in August 2025.
A total of 5561 applicants successfully registered online, including 4024 male applicants and 1537 female applicants. The draw was conducted through a fair, computer-generated, random, gender-balanced selection process to ensure equal representation among the selected Yatris.
The selected Yatris will travel in batches of 50, divided into two routes – Lipulekh and Nathu La. Both routes are now fully motorable, involving minimal trekking, making it easier for the pilgrims to undertake their journey. The route and batch details are available on the official website of the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra.
The Minister of State for External Affairs and Environment, Forest and Climate Change emphasized the government's efforts to make the Yatra more accessible and transparent while ensuring the safety and well-being of the pilgrims. He urged the selected Yatris to undertake the pilgrimage with a sense of responsibility, humility, and mindfulness, while caring for each other and protecting the sanctity of the environment.
The Yatris will be informed of their selection through SMS and email messages or by logging into the official website. They can also contact the helpline number 011-23088133 to check the status of their selection.
