Six years later, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra resumes in June.

• The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, a pilgrimage to Tibet, will resume six years after its last stop in 1981, with approximately 750 pilgrims expected to travel between June and August.

• The first batch of pilgrims is expected to leave Delhi on June 30, a slight delay from previous years.

• The pilgrimage was suspended by the Chinese government in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and tensions at the Line of Actual Control.

• The resumption of the Yatra is one of the first steps towards restoring ties between India and China.

• Other measures include restoration of direct flights, resumption of visas, and exchanges of media and think tank experts.
