A recent diplomatic issue between India and Nepal is about the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra route through the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand. Nepal officially objected to India and China restarting the pilgrimage through this route, saying the area belongs to Nepal.
The Nepal government also said it had informed both India and China through diplomatic channels and asked them not to carry out activities in the disputed region.
India rejected Nepal’s objection and said the Lipulekh route has been used for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra since 1954. The Indian government stated that Nepal’s claims are “not justified” and not supported by historical evidence.
The issue is important because Kailash Mansarovar is a major religious pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. At the same time, Lipulekh is also a sensitive strategic border region involving India, Nepal, and China. This dispute has existed for years and became more serious after Nepal released a new political map in 2020 claiming the disputed areas.
Even though tensions increased after Nepal’s objection, both sides have said that dialogue and diplomacy should continue to resolve the border dispute peacefully.
