Mandal Vikas Nigam (KMVN), out of which Rs. 5,000/- is to be paid
as a non-refundable deposit when confirming participation in the
Yatra, and the balance amount on arrival in Delhi to begin the Yatra.
(b) Rs. 3100/- to be paid to Delhi Heart and Lung Institute to cover
costs of medical examination / tests at Delhi. In case the applicant is
required by the medical authorities to undergo a Stress Echo Test, an
additional Rs. 2,500/- would be charged for that particular test from
the yatri concerned. These charges are non-refundable even if the
applicant is not able to undertake the Yatra eventually due to
disqualification on medical grounds.
(c) US$ 700/- (subject to revision) to be paid to the Chinese side.
(d) Expenditure on adequate equipment, clothing, food stores, porters,
baggage, ponies and other items required for the Yatra.
6. Yatra is extremely arduous (more than the Vaishnodevi / Amarnath
routes), involves trekking at high altitudes upto 19,500 feet, under inhospitable
conditions including extreme cold and rugged terrain and may prove hazardous
for those who are not physically or medically fit. The Indian Mountaineering
Foundation has recognised the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra as a trekking
expedition. There is a considerable element of risk to life and property.
7. Please note that Government shall not be responsible in any manner for
any loss of life or injury to the person, or any loss or damage to the property of
the Yatris due to any natural calamity or due to any other reason. Pilgrims
undertake the Yatra at their own volition, cost, risk and consequences. KMVN
also provides insurance against accident during the Yatra for each Yatri through
United India Insurance Company Ltd. for an amount of Rs. Five lakhs.
Government shall not have any obligation to bring the mortal remains of the
pilgrim across the border for cremation in the Indian side, in case of death on the
Chinese side. All Yatris are, therefore, required to sign a Consent Form for
cremation of mortal remains on the Chinese side in case of death.
8. Applicants should be physically healthy, medically fit and should not
suffer from conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, heart
disease, epilepsy, etc. All applicants should have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of
27 or less to be eligible for the Yatra. All selected applicants are required to
undergo a comprehensive medical examination conducted by Delhi Heart and
Lung Institute (DHLI) and ITBP Base Hospital in New Delhi. Applicants found
medically unfit will not be allowed to proceed on the Yatra, and will forfeit
the non-refundable deposit paid to KMVN and the amount paid for medical
examination. Please note that no other medical certificates or test reports
will be accepted. A list of tests included in the medical examination is given at
Annex-A of this circular for reference.
9. A second medical test to ascertain reactions to altitude trekking will be
done by ITBP at Gunji, after 5 days of the Yatra, at a height of 3500 metres.
Those Yatris who are found medically unfit here will not be permitted to
continue the Yatra. The finding and the recommendations of the ITBP medical
personnel both in Delhi and Gunji will be final and binding. In the eventuality
