After the Sino China war limited number of pilgrims were allowed to visit the place under the supervision of Chinese authorities and ever since then the Kailash region is controlled by the Chinese government, all passport, permits, and Visa are approved by Chinese authorities only.
There were several other stories on the internet about Mughal emperor Aurangzeb defeating China and snatched Kailash Mansarovar which was found to be viral and fake. As China always has authority over the Kailash and fought back this place in the India China war.
Since 1981 under the governance of the Indian ministry of external Affairs and with co-operation of the Chinese govt. Kumaun Mandal Vikas Nigam has been organizing trips to Kailash Mansarovar via Lipulek pass.
