Kailash Mansarovar is in China -occupied Tibet. The Ministry of External Affairs organizes the journey every year. However, for the last five years, China was not allowing Indians to visit Kailash Mansarovar. The border dispute between the two countries and the wave of Kovid were due to this.
Now the journey is going to start again after 5 years. This is being seen as an attempt to improve relations between India and China. The two countries had withdrew their troops from Demchok and Depsang under the agreement signed in October last year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in October last year in the city of Kazan, Russia. The two countries then discussed the situation of mutual relations and agreed to take some steps to improve the relationship.
