For Indian Hindus, the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is such a sacred journey that pilgrims don’t even look for bogus identification.
The Chinese government has stopped issuing permits and visas for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra as of 2019. Yet, thousands of Hindu pilgrims still book and pay deposits to various companies each year, and they are never reimbursed even if the tour is cancelled.
Maybe a lot of pilgrims stopped paying in advance in 2023, claiming they would only do so after the Chinese government announced the start of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Agents have so started displaying bogus certificates that were issued by a private travel firm in Tibet rather than a government ministry. Moreover, there is no indication of the opening of visas for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra on this certificate.

If we carefully examine, we may quickly determine that no one has actually signed this document. Red ink was cleverly used to create a round stamp to mimic a government document. This letter was written by a Chinese company, Ltd. not the tourism or foreign ministries.
It is crucial for all pilgrims to realise that this is a global issue, and once the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra begins, press reports will cover it as well. As a result, avoid falling for such fraudulent agencies and refrain from paying any money to book the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
