Rasuwa, May 20: The season for travel to Mansarovar, a popular religious destination in China, has begun.
The Rasuwagadhi border point has
seen increasing mobility of people travelling to the Kailash Mountain (Parbat)
and Mansarovar – considered to be the abode of Lord Mahadev (Shiva) via
Trishuli Dhunche and Syafrubesi.
Chief of the Immigration Office, Rasuwagadhi,
Murari Niraura said that on an average 40 passengers are travelling to
Mansarovar via the border point every day.
Mansarovar is 950 kilometers away
from this border point. Chief Niraura said although there are Rasuwagadhi and
Hilsa (Humla) border points to go to Mansarovar from Nepal, Rasuwagadhi has
witnessed rising number of visitors to religious sites as they are
geographically closer to Kathmandu.
According to him, daily around 50
Chinese nationals have been entering Nepal through the border points.
