திருக்கயிலாய மானசரோவர்  யாத்திரை 2015

இந்த வருட (2015)  இந்திய அரசின் யாத்திரைக்கான அறிவிப்பு வெளியாகிவிட்டது. இந்த வருடம் சிக்கிம் மாநிலத்தில் உள்ள நாது லா கணவாய் வழியாகவும் ஒரு பாதை துவக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இவ்வருடம் இவ்வழியாக கூடுதலாக 250  யாத்திரிகள் ( ஒரு குழுவில் 50 யாத்திரிகள், மொத்தம் ஐந்து குழுக்கள்)  இதில் நடை பயணம் இருக்காது பேருந்து மூலம் பயணம் செய்யலாம். ஆனால் யாத்திரை நாட்கள் இன்னும் 23  நாட்களாகவே உள்ளது. லிபு லே கணவாய் வழியாக செல்லும் போது  25  நாட்கள் ஆகும் ஆனால் இவ்வழியில் நடைப்பயணம் அதிகம்.    நாது லா வழியாக செல்லும் போது  கட்டணம் சுமார் 1.7 இலட்சம் ஆகின்றது.  இரண்டு வழியிலும் செல்வதற்கான விண்ணப்பிக்கும்  படிவம் ஒன்றுதான். கணணி மூலமாக யாத்திரிகள் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்படுவர். அந்தந்த வழிக்குரிய  கட்டணத்தை செலுத்தவேண்டும்.   அதிக விவரங்களை  இங்கு சென்றால் காணலாம்   http://kmy.gov.in

Liaison Officer: Only a serving Government officer is eligible to be appointed as Liaison Officer. A person who has been on the Yatra as a Liaison Officer or as a Yatri in the past will not be considered for selection as Liaison Officer.

Selection Process

Draw through a fair computerized system: Yatris will be selected and assigned to different routes and batches by the Ministry of External Affairs through a fair computer-generated random gender-balanced selection process.

The balance amount will be payable later.

Medical Tests in Delhi: Selected Yatris are required to assemble in New Delhi 3-4 days in advance of the Yatra to undergo thorough medical tests at the Delhi Heart and Lung Institute and the ITBP Base Hospital. Parameters of medical tests are decided by the ITBP Base Hospital, keeping the requirements of the Yatra in mind. Only those applicants who pass these tests are allowed to proceed on the Yatra.

Additional Medical Tests en route: Medical tests to ascertain reactions to high altitude trekking will be conducted by ITBP during the course of the Yatra at Gunji for the Yatra through Lipulekh Pass, and at Sherathang for the Yatra through Nathu La.
