Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAN), the umbrella organization of mountain tourism businessmen, has said that pilgrims going to Kailash Mansarovar are in trouble when the Nepal-China Miteri Bridge is washed away.
TAN General Secretary Sonam Galjen Sherpa issued a statement and said that the travelers going to Kailash Mansarovar were in trouble when the bridge was swept away due to the flood in the Lehende River on Tuesday morning. Tan said that Nepalis, foreign pilgrims and tourists going on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in China's Autonomous Region of Tibet through the road from Rasuwagadhi were deprived from entering Tibet due to the collapse of the Miteri Bridge and urged the Chinese government to immediately take diplomatic initiatives to arrange the environment for going to Mansarovar through Tatopani, Korola, Hilsa and other checkpoints.
Tan's president Sagar Pandey demanded from the government to provide easy visas to pilgrims and tourists entering Tibet, an autonomous region of China, due to the disaster at the beginning of the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage season.
He has also requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take diplomatic initiatives with the Chinese Embassy in Nepal to make the visa process fast, convenient and passenger-friendly and to create an environment where the pilgrims who are waiting in Kathmandu can travel to Kailash as soon as possible.
