Preview of the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra and why it’s an important step in ‘normalising’ India-China ties after LAC tensions
The Kailash Manasarovar Yatra is resuming after a gap of 6 years. The yatra has been on since 1981, but came to a halt due to the Covid pandemic, then the Galwan conflict and tensions at the LAC between India and China that lasted from 2020 to 2024.
Now, a series of steps are being taken to “normalise” ties between India and China, and the restart of the yatra is one of them. About 750 pilgrims will travel to Tibet between June and August, with the first batch expected to travel from Delhi on June 30.

At the diplomatic level, top leaders including Ajit Doval, Rajnath Singh, S. Jaishankar will travel to China for summits in the coming months. PM Narendra Modi too is expected to visit China for the SCO summit, his first visit to China since the LAC tensions.
