The influx of Indian religious tourists to Mansarovar Kailash has begun with the onset of the rainy season, with 169 pilgrims arriving in Simkot in four days. Flights from Nepalgunj to Simkot and then to Hilsa facilitate the journey to the pilgrimage site in China. Despite challenging weather, 47 pilgrims reached Simkot on a Summit Air flight, though some were delayed due to permit issues. The number of Indian tourists is expected to rise, following the reopening of the Hilsa pass post-COVID-19.
