GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Kailash-Manasarovar Yatra’ passes through Lipulekh pass. According to Hinduism, the lake was first created in the mind of the Lord Brahma after which it manifested on Earth-like Mount Kailash. Lake Manasarovar is a place of pilgrimage, attracting religious people from India, Nepal, Tibet, and neighboring countries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nimbadiya said that Mount Kailash is visible from Old Lipulekh which is three kilometres away from Mukhya Lipulekh. Though the glimpse of the religious place is not very clear from Old Lipulekh, this is a good opportunity for pilgrims, who can’t visit Mount Kailash, to get a ‘darshan’ of Lord Shiva’s abode.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is reported that the strategic road to Lipulekh near the China border for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra will be completed by 2024. This move comes as the government pushes for early completion; it is expected that the Border Roads Organisation will speed up the work and complete work earlier than expected.
