He will be travelling to Limi Lapcha and will pay obeisance to Kilash Manasarovar from Lapcha Bhanjyang of Humla, said Sita Pariyar, the chief district officer in Humla.

China has imposed a travel ban to Kailash Manasarovar since the outbreak of COVID-19. 

CDO Pariyar said Sadhguru is arriving Humla to pay homage to Kailash Manasarovar from Humla's territory. It is said all preparations have been made in Humla for the visit. 

It has been reported that Sadhguru will be accompanied by a group of more than 40 people. 

His team will take a helicopter from Pokhara and directly land at the  Simikot airport, according to the Trekker Society, a travel company that has taken responsibility for Sadhguru's travel.
