Kailash Manasarovar Yatra organized by Ministry of External Affairs is set to commence from June 2025, and will go on till August 2025. Shri. Kirti Vardhan Singh, Minister of State for External Affairs and Environment, Forest and Climate Change [MoS(KVS)] today conducted the computerized draw for selection of Yatris who had registered for this Yatra. Yatris were selected in the draw through a fair, computer-generated, random, gender-balanced selection process.
The selected Yatris are informed of their selection through SMS and email messages. Yatris can also log in at the Yatra website (https://kmy.gov.in) to check the status of their selection, or at the helpline number: 011-23088133.
This year, 5561 applicants had successfully registered online, which included 4024 male applicants and 1537 female applicants. A total of 750 selected Yatris, including 2 LOs per batch, will travel in 5 batches of 50 Yatris each via the Lipulekh route, and 10 batches of 50 Yatris each via the Nathu La route. Both routes are now fully motorable, and involve very little trekking. The route and batch details are available on the Yatra website.
MoS(KVS) in his address highlighted the steps taken by the Government to make the Yatra more accessible and the process more transparent, while ensuring the safety and well-being of the Yatris. He urged the Yatris to undertake the pilgrimage with a sense of responsibility, humility and mindfulness, while caring for each other as well as protecting the sanctity of the environment.
