The road leading to the sacred Lake Mansarovar and important pilgrimage for Hindu and Buddhist- Mount Kailash- in Tibet, China has been operative from today.
The road was blocked since last Friday due to rains. The vehicular movement along the road resumed since Sunday afternoon following the maintenance of the road by the Chinese side after Kerung River had swept away some parts of the road, according to border security officials.
Chief District Officer of Rasuwa, Bednidhi Khanal, informed that a large number of travelers were stranded after the swollen Kerung River damaged some 5-km towards the south of Miteri Pul (Friendship Bridge). It had led to blockade to traffic.
CDO Khanal shared that some 500 Nepal-bound travelers returning from Kerung and 100 travelers en route to the holy Lake Mansarovar were stranded until the road was repaired.
The travelers have now completed the immigration process and are proceeding towards their respective destinations, added CDO Khanal. He further informed that the Nepal Police and the Armed Police Force's Company No 20 in Rasuwa facilitated the pilgrims in reaching their respective destinations.
The Mansarovar Lake is located at the southern foot of Mount Kailash, some 2,000 km from Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet, China. These shrines can be accessed via Humla district of Nepal as well.
