Lipulekh Pass

Nepal has sent diplomatic notes to both India and China regarding the use of the Lipulekh Pass, with India responding promptly while China has remained silent. The Nepalese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is awaiting a response from Beijing to clarify its position on the disputed territory, which has been a point of contention based on historical treaties and border definitions.

Nepal has sent protest letters to India and China regarding the Lipulekh Pass, asserting that the territory belongs to Nepal and neither country has the right to use it without agreement. The dispute was reignited when India announced plans to resume a pilgrimage route through the pass, a move Nepal claims was made without consultation. India maintains that pilgrims have used the route since 1954 and disputes Nepal's claim.
