Why is the &#8220;Horse Year&#8221; so significant for Kailash Mansarovar Yatra?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Tibetan Buddhist and Hindu traditions, circumambulating Mount Kailash during the Year of the Horse multiplies the spiritual merit of the Parikrama by 13 times, making it a once-in-a-decade spiritual event.<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"31\">2. Can I apply for both MEA routes simultaneously?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes, the MEA application portal at <code data-path-to-node=\"32\" data-index-in-node=\"35\">kmy.gov.in<\/code> allows applicants to state their preference between the Lipulekh Pass and Nathu La Pass routes during online registration.<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"33\">3. What happens if I fail the high-altitude medical test?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Passing both Delhi and base-camp medical checks is compulsory. If a yatri exhibits symptoms of AMS or fails blood pressure\/lung capacity thresholds at high-altitude base camps, they are deemed medically unfit and turned back for safety.<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"36\">\u26a0\ufe0f Medical Disclaimer<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" dir=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i data-path-to-node=\"37\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra involves trekking at high altitudes exceeding 19,500 feet, where atmospheric pressure and oxygen levels drop significantly.
