More than 400 stranded pilgrims of Kailash Manosar yatra have been brought to Surkhet and Nepalgunj. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said in New Delhi that as of now, there are no bottlenecks on the route. <br/><br/>He was responding to a question on people who got stranded while undertaking the pilgrimage via the Nepalgunj – Simikot – Hilsa route due to inclement weather conditions. The spokesperson said, First Secretary from the Indian Embassy at Kathmandu visited Hilsa and Simikot and coordinated with the Nepalese authorities. <br/><br/>Mr. Swarup said, in view of the forecast of inclement weather, Indian Mission in Kathmandu has issued a travel advisory to Indian yatris to avoid the Nepal route. The Embassy in cooperation with Government of Nepal and tour operators is making all possible arrangements for timely evacuation of pilgrims from Hilsa to Simikot and from Simikot to Nepalgunj. <br/><br/>However, inclement weather conditions are impeding regular air services, thereby causing difficulties for the stranded persons at Hilsa and Simikot. Tourism Ministry has also been requested to advise tour operators in India not to overbook and correctly brief pilgrims on facilities available.
