Pithoragarh To Mansarovar: All about the new route

This incredible new route built from Pithoragarh to Mansarovar will ultimately ease the dependence on China and Nepal, both previously the only options for ferrying pilgrims to this place of worship. We say great work should always be celebrated so congrats to all involved in making this route a reality from Pithoragarh, especially Nitin Gadkari who has been championing the cause of developing better transportation solutions throughout India!

Lipulekhh-Pithoragarh

The Lipulekhh-Pithoragarh route to Kailash Mansarovar was regarded as one of the most perilous routes because of its challenging terrain, steep slopes, extreme cold, and frequent heavy snowfall. To aid pilgrims, traditional stone huts were constructed every few kilometers for resting, and these huts can still be observed today.

But now, the launch of a new road at an elevation of 19500 feet from Pithoragarh is completely changing the game for this epic trek in one of the world’s toughest mountain ranges. The road makes it far easier for people to get through this pilgrimage without sacrificing quality time or their lives!
