Indian Pilgrims Resume Mt. Kailash, Manasarovar Yatra
Imagine a special trip for Indian people to a holy mountain and lake in Tibet, called Mt.
Kailash and Manasarovar, which is like a very important place for them to pray.
This trip was stopped for five years because India and China weren't getting along.
Now, it's starting again, which might mean they're trying to be friends again.
The first group of people going on this trip just arrived, and it's a sign that things are getting better between the two countries.
First batch of Indian pilgrims arrived at Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar Lake after a five-year suspension.
The pilgrimage resumed after a meeting between Indian and Chinese leaders.
The Yatra was suspended in 2020 due to strained relations between India and China.
The resumption of the pilgrimage is considered a step towards normalizing ties.
