Humla received a large number of Indian pilgrims visiting Kailash, a holy religious shrine for Hindu devotees. Generally, Indian tourists make their journey to Kailash and Mansarovar in China's Tibet through Hilsa in Humla. 

This year's season for the Kailash journey for pilgrims is over with the dip in temperature.

Hotelier Mim Lama said that the hotels in the Hilsa area made good income in this season, thanks to the rising number of tourists here. Each hotel earned more than a million Nepali rupees; Lama shared.

Nearly 6,500 foreign tourists have arrived in Humla district since the Hilsa border opened in May.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of Humla Shankar Pokharel said that almost 6,000 Indian pilgrims travelled through the district from Nepalgunj to visit Kailash. "Tourists from other countries too have arrived here," DSP Pokharel said.

This route is comparatively shorter for Indians and other nationals to visit Kailash Mansarovar.

Officials shared that the number of pilgrims to use this route has increased sharply after the end of COVID-19.

Officials shared that an Indian should pay Rs 1,100 and other nationals should pay Rs 1,500 for their entry into the district.
