India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issues an advisory for citizens planning the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, particularly those travelling through private tour operators. The MEA warns travellers to secure all required China travel documents—such as visas and entry/permit clearances—before beginning the journey. The advisory follows reports of Indian pilgrims being stranded in Nepal because of inadequate or incomplete paperwork for travel into China. According to multiple outlets, the MEA urges pilgrims to ensure their tour operator is authorised and duly registered, and to start only after obtaining all necessary approvals and documentation to avoid disruptions during the spiritual trip. Some reports also reference heightened attention on documentation in the context of current route access, while the central focus remains on completing formalities in advance. The MEA’s message is intended to prevent delays or emergency situations for pilgrims by confirming that Chinese entry requirements and related permits are in order prior to departure and travel via Nepal and onward to the Kailash Mansarovar route.
