Shimla: Kinnaur Kailash Yatra commenced on Thursday with 90 pilgrims beginning their trek from Tangling village on the first day, officials said.
Praveen Bhardwaj, the Kalpa SDM and chairperson of the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra Organising Committee, said the risk of landslides and falling stones at some places forced the yatra to be postponed earlier.
Based on the report, safety and repair works are being completed at sensitive locations, after which the decision to start the yatra has been taken,” he said.
Online registration for the pilgrimage began on July 28, while offline registration will commence on Thursday.
Kinnaur Kailash, locally known as Kinner Kailash, is situated at an elevation of 6,050 metres above sea level in Kinnaur Panchayat.
