India Rejects Nepal's Objection to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra via Lipulekh | MEA Responds 2026

India has officially rejected Nepal's objection to the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Lipulekh Pass — calling Nepal's claims unjustified and not backed by historical facts. MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated clearly that the Lipulekh route has been used for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra since 1954 and India's position has been consistent and unchanged. He further called Nepal's unilateral enlargement of territorial claims "untenable." 💬 Do you think Nepal's claims over Lipulekh are valid?
