After Nepal claimed Lipulekh as part of Nepalese territory and asked India and China not to undertake Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through it, India responded by saying that the territorial claims are unjustified. "Lipulekh Pass has been a long-standing route for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra since 1954...and the Yatra through this route has been going on for decades," MEA said.

The foreign ministry of Nepal has asked India and China not to undertake Kailash Mansarovar Yatra through Lipulekh, calling it a "Nepali territory". Reportedly, Nepal has sent a diplomatic note to New Delhi and Beijing over the issue. The yatra is being organised by India's Ministry of External Affairs along with China and is scheduled to take place from June-August.
