Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Part 2

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra - High Points of this Yatra



Let me give the high points of this Yatra in this post:

1. People from different States of India come together and go on a tough pilgrimage.
2. Only Yatra where Government of India is involved directly through Ministry of External Affairs.
3.Only Yatra where Government of China works with Government of India in co-ordinating the dates, immigration etc.
4. Indo Tibetan Border Police Force personnel act like God's messengers and help the Yatris continue the Yatra.
5. Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam Ltd. works through its personnel to make the Yatra as comfortable as possible.
6. Selection through computerised process and  medical tests clearance are mandatory.
7. One gets to stay without telephone, mobile, newspaper, television, internet for good number of days. Electricity is also limited and hence, one has to learn to live like our grandparents :-)
8. In the words of one of the Yatris, all we had to do was "Bhojan and Bhajan while trekking".
9. Yatris get to make some good friendship, some of which may become life-long association.
10.One gets to see Nature in its purest grandest form!



Om Nama Shivaya!  More to follow in more orderly format!

Umaji,

This is a clear Post talking the main points of the yatra. I was selected for the 17th Batch this year but in vain. I really hope I have the privilege to undertake this yatra.

Regards,
Prakash
