The Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, organized by the Ministry of External Affairs, is scheduled to be held from June to August 2025. This year, a total of 15 batches, each comprising 50 Yatris, will undertake the pilgrimage—5 batches via Uttarakhand, crossing through the Lipulekh Pass, and 10 batches via Sikkim, crossing through the Nathu La Pass. Applications are now being accepted through the official website: kmy.gov.in. Yatris will be selected from the pool of applicants through a fair, computer-generated random selection process, which also ensures gender balance.
Since 2015, the entire procedure—from online application to final selection—has been fully computerized. As such, applicants do not need to send physical letters or faxes for inquiries. All queries, feedback, and suggestions can be submitted directly through the feedback options available on the official website.
