A big religious trip called the Kinnaur Kailash Yatra started on July 30.

The walk goes through a path that goes past Maling, Khata, and Gufa.
The trip was supposed to start on July 1, but it was delayed because of dangerous landslides and because some local people were worried about the safety of the route.
