Selection Process For Kailash Mansarovar Tour

Draw of Lots – Through a fair computer-generated, random, general-balanced selection process yatris will be selected and appointed to different batches by the Ministry of External Affairs. A group of two persons may give an option to travel together in the same batch at the application stage. The application for each applicant should be completed online.

Intimation – After the computerized draw of lots, selected candidates would be informed through automated messages to their registered email id/phone number. An applicant can access the status update by IVRS helpline 011-24300655.

Conditions – Applicants must note the following conditions

Normally a route and batch allocated to a Yatra through the computerized process cannot be changed. If required a selected candidate can request for change of batch on the basis of some valid justification. The final decision in this matter will be of the Ministry.
After the computerized draw of lots, to confirm the participation each selected applicant will have to confirm the participation by crediting non-refundable Confirmation Amount before the due date into the designated bank account of the Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN) or the Sikkim Tourism Development Corporation (STDC).
If the above-given payment is not made by the cut-off date, the Yatri will be automatically removed from the selected list for the batch to waitlist.
Confirmed Yatris are required to online re-confirm their participation in the batch before their arrival in Delhi for the yatra. If a yatri fails to do so then their name will be canceled from the list for the batch.
A yatri according to the itinerary for the batch must report on the scheduled date & time at Delhi Heart & Lung Institute (DHLI). Their names from the batch will be canceled if they fail to do so.
Registered/ Waitlisted may also report at DHLI for inclusion in a batch against any dropout, subject to availability of vacancy arising due to this reason.

Documents – Selected and confirmed yatris must carry the following listed below documents when they arrive in New Delhi for the yatra:

Ordinary Indian passport valid for at least six months as on 1 September of the current year
Colored passport size photograph (6 copies)
Undertaking for evacuation by helicopter in case of emergency

A Kailash Parvat yatri would not be allowed to proceed for the yatra if the above mentioned documents are not submitted or not in conformity to the requirement of the current year or deficient in any aspect. The decision of the Ministry would be final in this matter and no representation in this regard will be entertained.

These primitive morons still stick to the 19th Century bureaucratic rigmarole of requiring for a thousand and one ‘forms’, ‘certificates’, ‘undertakings’, ‘declarations’ and other shit. These savages should learn from civilized countries in hassle-free travel booking and customer care.
