Nowadays, thousands of religious tourists go to Mansarovar in Tibet every year. After the earthquake of 2072, Auzau was closed from Tatopani Nak, and Simikot in Humla was almost the only nak. Therefore, the number of people going to Mansarovar increased rapidly every year. At present, Mansarovar is transported from Hilsa in Humla and Kerung in Rasuwa.

It was not easy to travel during the 50s when the way to travel to Mansarovar in Tibet was opened through Humla. There was no road like it is now. Availability of food was less. Since there was no local production, food had to be brought from Nepal, India and Pakistan. Tibet's tourism businessmen had given the information that vehicles to drive the road should be brought from Japan.

Some construction materials and technology had to be brought from Beijing, the capital of China. However, the Tibetans were trying very hard to increase tourists in Mansarovar. So they wanted to operate Nepal-Tibet helicopter service.

It was going to be four years since democracy was achieved in Nepal. When the private sector is increasing investment, helicopter rescue was also given priority. To operate the helicopter for the first time, tourism businessmen from Nari province of West Tibet came to Nepal requesting permission. The then tourism and civil aviation minister Ramhari Joshi responded that Nepal is ready to allow helicopters to fly in Kailash. Tibetan tourism professionals were excited about this.

As the government took the issue of bringing tourists directly from Simikot-Kailash or Kathmandu by helicopter, experts in Nepal's tourism sector had a different opinion. Their question was, 'What do the residents of Humla get by flying helicopters?' They argued that flying helicopters in backward places will only benefit Tibet, even if the country is developed by bringing and taking tourists in helicopters. 

Not only Nepalese, some tourists from foreign countries suggested that helicopters should not be operated. Reinhold Meissner, a famous Italian tourist who climbed 8,000 high mountains, suggested that helicopters should not be operated in mountainous countries like Nepal. He said that helicopter service should not be opened in a country with important mountains like Nepal.

Tibetans also used to have two opinions about helicopter tourism. Wang Vivin, the leader of the tourism sector of Nari Province and the general manager of Tibet Kailash Travel Service Company, also said that there are two opinions to operate helicopters in Tibet. 

Some Tibetans put forward the idea that modern technology devices (helicopters) should not be used as Mansarovar is a religious place. On the one hand, there is a belief that religious people should travel with difficulty, but there was also an opinion that modern technology should be adopted to travel the modern tourist. General Manager Wang said that according to economic calculations, he thought that tourists would increase and money would accumulate. 

It used to take a week on foot to reach the road from Simikot to Tibet. Tibetan tourism businessman and Nepal's tourism minister Joshi Befursadi agreed that helicopters are suitable for the rich, the elderly, the sick and the disabled. But Minister Joshi was of the position that a written agreement should be signed after there is a theoretical agreement on the matter of being able to charter a helicopter.

After the road was opened from Humla, only 6 teams went to Mansarovar through this road. General Manager Wang said that in 1994, he tried to take 6,000 tourists to Kailash. At that time, Minister Jashi had said that there is a lot of possibility to send Indian tourists from Humla. The checkpoint was operated on a trial basis. Nepalese businessmen complained that the cost to reach Kailash would be too much.

Nepalese businessmen had the idea that all goods and services are very expensive. At that time, Simikot-Mansarovar journey was at least three weeks. It used to cost twice as much in Tibet as in Nepal. Tibetan tourism professionals used to say that all goods and services, including food, are expensive because they have to be brought from outside. 

Journalist Narayan Wagle's news about the Mansarovar Yatra via Humla route, helicopter operation plan, titled 'Kailash Pilgrimage Now by Helicopter' was published in Kantipur Dainik on 12th of November 2050 .

But now the situation has changed . Indian pilgrims are more in going to Mansarovar, but after covid i.e. after 2019 Indians are not allowed to go to Mansarovar . Even if they are Indians, those living in third countries will be allowed to go. However, there are data that more than 15,000 pilgrims and tourists go to Mansarovar every year. Now you can go to Simikot by boat or helicopter from Kathmandu via Pokhara. From Simikot you can reach Hilsa Naka. Now you can get vehicle facility at the Tibetan border . Food, living expenses and location have become easier compared to 32 years ago . Tourism professionals say that if Indians are allowed to go easily, at least 25,000 tourists will visit Mansarovar every year.
