Indians stranded between Nepal’s Rasuwa to Kailash Mansarovar. Why tourists prefer this route
A series of devastating flash floods in Nepal, which occurred on Wednesday near the Rasuwa district bordering Tibet, has left hundreds of tourists stranded - most of them religious pilgrims en route to Kailash Mansarovar. Over 13,500 pilgrims have taken the Rasuwa route to Kailash Mansarovar this year, marking an 18.75% increase compared to the previous year.
The flooding has impacted many who remain unaccounted for 24 hours after the disaster. The Rasuwa route has become increasingly popular among tourists due to its lower cost compared to the more expensive Humla crossing.
