There are two main routes to reach Kailash Mansarovar from India The Lipulekh Pass route in Uttarakhand. This route is the most popular and takes about 24 days to complete. The journey starts from Delhi and goes through Dharchula, Tawaghat, Lipulekh Pass, and finally to Mansarovar. The Nathu La Pass route in Sikkim. This route is shorter and takes about 21 days to complete. The journey starts from Siliguri and goes through Gangtok, Nathu La Pass, and finally to Mansarovar. Both routes require a permit from the Chinese government, which can be obtained through a travel agency. The permits are usually issued 3-4 months in advance. In addition to the two main routes, there is also a third route that goes through Nepal.
