INDIA MADE NEW ROAD TO KAILASH | VIA LIPULEKH PASS UTTARAKHAND | NEPAL PROTEST AGAINST |KALAPANI MAP

#Defence #Minister #Rajnath Singh #Friday #inaugurated the road route through #Uttarakhand to reach #Kailash #Mansarovar, a #pilgrimage site nestled in the #Himalayas in #Tibet, that almost goes up till Lipulekh #Pass at the India-China border — 17,000 feet above sea level. Indians and #Tibetans have been holding border trade at the Lipulekh Pass for quite some time now and the new road connects the pass to Dharchula, a town in Uttarakhand’s #Pithoragarh distrtict.  Pilgrims from India can reach Kailash Mansarovar through three routes — via #Sikkim, Uttarakhand and #Kathmandu in Nepal — all of which are long and arduous. However, Nepal claims that the Lipulekh pass comes under its territory and lies in the Dharchula district in Sudurpashchim Pradesh. It is marked by the Kalapani river, one of the headwaters of the Kali River in the Himalayas at an altitude of 3,600–5,200 meters. India has always considered Lipulekh as a tri-junction with the territory to the east of the pass as the #Nepalese #territory. The Kali River forms the #boundary between India and Nepal in this region. According to India, the headwaters of the river are not included in the boundary. However, Lipulekh has always been on the Indian map and Nepal hasn’t protested until now. #China also accepts that it belongs to India and that’s why it is allowing it as a route to Tibet.  Ref : https://www.theprint.in/opinion/new-r...
