The road leading to the sacred Lake Manasarovar and Mount Kailash in Tibet, China is a significant pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhist has reopened today.
The road had been blocked since last Friday due to heavy rains but resumed vehicular traffic on Sunday afternoon after the Chinese authorities repaired the sections damaged by the Kerung River, according to border security officials.
Rasuwa's Chief District Officer, Bednidhi Khanal, reported that a large number of travelers were stranded after the swollen Kerung River washed away a 5-km stretch of road south of Miteri Pul (Friendship Bridge), leading to a traffic halt.
CDO Khanal noted that around 500 travelers heading to Nepal from Kerung and 100 en route to the holy Lake Mansarovar were stranded until the road was restored. These travelers have now completed the immigration process and are continuing their journeys. Khanal added that the Nepal Police and the Armed Police Force's Company No. 20 in Rasuwa assisted the pilgrims in reaching their destinations.
Lake Mansarovar is situated at the southern base of Mount Kailash, approximately 2,000 km from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, China. These sacred sites can also be accessed via Nepal's Humla district.
