Yatra Schedule
Facilities on the Indian Side The Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN) provides accommodation at all the halts from New Delhi to Lipulekh Pass. At the camps along the route, accommodation in ‘pucca’ barracks and prefabricated fibreglass huts is provided. There are regular toilet facilities at all camps. Portable generators provide electricity at all camps for limited hours in the mornings and evenings. Mattresses and quilts/ sleeping bags are provided at all camps, so that the yatris don’t need to carry any quilts/sleeping bags with them. However, if they so wish, they may carry a bed sheet and pillow-cover for personal hygiene. Utensils for cooking will also be provided to each group for use in the camps on the Chinese side. These utensils do not have to be returned.
