- Due to torrential rains and flooding in Uttarakhand, there has been major damage along the route followed by this Ministry’s Kailash-Manasarovar Yatra. The road between Almora and the road-head at Tawaghat has been washed away at several places and some major bridges damaged. Walking trails beyond Tawaghat have also suffered badly due to land-slides at several places. The State and local administrative authorities estimate that the restoration work may take up to one month to complete. Since the safety and security of the Yatris is of paramount importance, the Ministry has decided to cancel Batch Nos. 2-10 of this year’s Kailash-Manasarovar Yatra.
- Those Yatris who may desire to obtain further information may kindly contact the Ministry at e-mail IDsochina@mea.gov.in or telephone number 23014900.
