Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

Page 26

Day 1 Delhi to Almora From New Delhi, the yatris will be taken in an air-conditioned coach to Almora, a small town in the foothills of the Himalayas in the Kumaon hills of Uttarakhand. As the yatris have to leave Delhi in the morning by 0600 hours, they must ensure that their baggage is packed and ready by 0500 hours. The journey from Kathgodam to Dharchula is performed by non-A.C. buses. The KMVN will make arrangements for night halt on reaching Almora. This is an ideal day for the yatris to get to know each other. For the successful completion of the Yatra it is essential to develop better understanding of each other particularly the strengths and weaknesses of each yatri.

Day 2 Almora to Dharchula The day begins early as the drive from Almora to Dharchula takes almost 11 hours. The non-AC Coach will traverse through the small town of Pithoragarh and the Indo-Tibet Border Police (ITBP) Camp Headquarters at Mirthi. Pithoragarh, where the yatris stop for lunch, offers spectacular view of mountain peaks and green hillsides. The view from the watchtower at the guest house is splendid. However, yatris are advised not to spend too much time here as the journey Trek from Gunji to Kalapani
