The first group of Indian pilgrims arrives at Mount Kailash, marking a revival of religious travel and improved India-China relations. More pilgrims are expected to follow.

Manasarovar Lake pilgrimage restarts after five years

36 Indian pilgrims resume their journey to Mount Kailash after five years, signaling improved India-China ties. A second group will soon follow, continuing this vital religious tradition.

36 Indian pilgrims arrive at Mount Kailash after a five-year pause, marking improved India-China relations. A second group will follow via Nathu La Pass.

The first batch of Indian pilgrims visiting Tibet to pray at Mount Kailash and Manasarovar Lake, believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva, arrived at the holy place on Thursday, according to Chinese officials.
"Pleased to know that the first batch of pilgrims has arrived at Lake Mapam Yun Tso (Manasarovar) in Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region, China,&rdquo; Chinese Ambassador to India Xu Feihong posted on X.
The journey of 36 pilgrims to Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar Lake assumed significance as they were the first group of Indian pilgrims to visit the holy place after a five-year hiatus.
The relations between the two countries were frozen for over four years following the Eastern Ladakh standoff.
The two countries agreed to resume ties after a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, last year.
The resumption of the Kailash and Manasarovar Yatra is stated to be the first step initiated by the two countries to resume ties.
The pilgrims arrived in the Tibet Autonomous Province on Friday last, marking the resumption of pilgrimages.
China calls Tibet 'Xizang' and Mt. Kailash 'Mt. Gang Renpoche' and Manasarovar Lake as 'Mapam Yun Tso'.
The mountain and the lake are sacred to Hindus, Buddhists and Jains.
For 68-year-old Damina Bendya, who is making her first visit to Tibet, the mountain is a sacred place.
"China and India are neighbours. China is wonderful, and all the staff here have been very warm and helpful," she told the state-run Xinhua news agency on arrival at Lhasa, the provincial capital of Tibet.
The pilgrimage to the two sites was suspended in 2020.
On April 28, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun announced their resumption this summer under a bilateral agreement.
Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar Lake are the "sacred mountain and lake" for believers of several religions, including Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism, Guo said, adding that these pilgrimages are an important part of cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and India.
Noting that this year marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and India, Guo said that China stands ready to work with India to earnestly implement the important common understandings between the leaders of the two countries and to advance China-India relations on track of sound and stable development.
A second group of Indian pilgrims is scheduled to enter China via the Nathu La Pass this week, according to the regional foreign affairs office.

Char Dham Yatra experiences a 31% decrease in pilgrims due to India-Pakistan tensions, necessitating urgent government action to restore confidence.

Char Dham Yatra Sees 31% Decline in Pilgrims

The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand has faced a 31% drop in pilgrim numbers, influenced by India-Pakistan tensions. SDC Foundation calls for action.

Char Dham Yatra sees sharp pilgrim drop

Char Dham Yatra sees a 31% decline in pilgrims due to India-Pakistan tensions. SDC Foundation urges action to restore confidence.

The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand has witnessed a 31 per cent decline in pilgrim footfall in the first two weeks of the pilgrimage this year compared to the corresponding period in 2024, a Dehradun-based environmental organisation said on Thursday.
A total of 6,62,446 pilgrims visited the Himalayan shrines of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri between April 30 and May 13 this year, while 9,61,302 pilgrims had visited the temples between May 10 and May 23 last year, the SDC Foundation said in an analysis. This reflects a decline of 2,98,856 pilgrims, or nearly three lakh, translating to an overall dip of 31 per cent, it said. Head of SDC Foundation Anoop Nautiyal attributed the drop in pilgrim arrivals to the rise in tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. "The military escalation between India and Pakistan in recent weeks has undoubtedly impacted public sentiment and travel confidence. There has been a slowdown in inter-state pilgrim movement, especially from Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and parts of Rajasthan," he said.
"The Char Dham Yatra, being highly dependent on interstate mobility and group travel, has been directly affected," he added.
Nautiyal said that the drop in numbers must be seen in the context of the current India-Pakistan situation. However, he expressed optimism that the Yatra will gain momentum in the days ahead. "Last year&rsquo;s data trends showed that the yatra typically peaks during the second fortnight of May and the first fortnight of June. With security conditions expected to stabilise between the two countries, we foresee a surge in footfall in the latter half of the month,&rdquo; he said. He also stressed the need for the Uttarakhand government to take corrective measures on a war footing to instil confidence among the stakeholders involved in the Yatra.
Citing the example of the Vaishno Devi Shrine Board in Jammu and Kashmir, Nautiyal said, they moved swiftly by launching awareness campaigns awareness campaigns, boosted on-ground facilities, and reassured pilgrims through targeted communication.
"We need a similar proactive response in Uttarakhand&rdquo;, he said. The organisation has urged the state government to convene immediate consultations with key stakeholders such as district administrations, temple boards, hoteliers, mule operators, travel agencies, vyapar mandals and local groups to improve preparedness and improve the overall experience for pilgrims. &ldquo;Pilgrimage management must not be reactive. This concerns the livelihoods of thousands of families and businesses dependent on the seasonal Char Dham Yatra. Decisions must be taken promptly in light of the massive three-lakh dip in pilgrim numbers in the first two weeks," Nautiyal said. The SDC Foundation also reiterated the urgent need to implement recommendations it had made in its 2024 report titled "Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra: Pathways to Pilgrimage &ndash; Data, Insights, Challenges and Opportunities", submitted to the state government.
&ldquo;We had called for clear protocols on carrying capacity, crowd regulation, environmental safeguards, and real-time communication. Unfortunately, many of these remain unaddressed,&rdquo; he added.

Pakistan issues visas to Hindu pilgrims to visit centuries-old temple

A statement issued by the Pakistan High Commission said the group of Indian Hindu pilgrims is visiting Shadani Darbar Hayat Pitafi from November 22 to December 3.

A statement issued by the Pakistan High Commission said the group of Indian Hindu pilgrims is visiting Shadani Darbar Hayat Pitafi from November 22 to December 3.

Pakistan on Monday said it has issued 100 visas to Indian pilgrims keen to participate in the 314th birth anniversary celebrations of Shiv Avtari Satguru Sant Shadaram Sahib in Sindh province.
A statement issued by the Pakistan High Commission said the group of Indian Hindu pilgrims is visiting Shadani Darbar Hayat Pitafi from November 22 to December 3.
Shadani Darbar is an over three hundred years old temple and is a sacred place for Hindu devotees from across the globe. It was founded in 1786 by Sant Shadaram Sahib, who was born in Lahore in 1708.
Under the Pakistan-India Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines of 1974, thousands of Sikh and Hindu pilgrims from India visit Pakistan to attend various religious festivals/occasions every year.

Mountains, wildflower pastures, waterfalls, verdant slopes - amid all this natural beauty, plastic waste and other garbage is literally killing the rich Himalayan ecosystem.
This crime against nature is being committed near Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, as per news agency ANI. Devotees are currently rushing to the hill state for the Char Dham Yatra.
Experts are calling for more sensitivity among tourists and pilgrims, citing the 2013 flood disaster in Kedarnath. Prof MS Negi, HoD - Geography at Garhwal Central University said, "Plastic waste at a sensitive location like Kedarnath doesn't only have an impact on faith, but also on safety. Plastic will lead to quick erosion after rains. Quick erosion leads to big landslides. Therefore, it is very dangerous. Secondly, a source of faith should be kept clean. When plastic garbage covers religious places, then national and international tourists and pilgrims will be affected."
Prof MC Nautiyal, director of HAPPRC at the university told ANI, "Tourism pressure on Kedarnath, Badrinath etc has increased a lot. If tourist pressure increases, then throughout the route, plastic and other types of garbage builds up. It can be taken to deeper forest areas by natural elements. There aren't any proper sanitation facilities there. That's why waste usually ends up in nature."
