Kailash Mansarovar Yatra - 2019 - Leaves - KMY - 2

I needed couple of weeks plus 2-3 days on top of it in order to complete Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in 2019. My manager was kind of skeptical, reason being, I had no leaves plus, I had taken leaves in the month of December for Bhutan trip, now in month of February, asking for leaves again, and me being under probation, sent some very distress signals.

But Kailash Mansarovar Yatra waits for none, a job can wait, it something which had to happen, irrespective of whether I was employed or not, I wished to do it.

As I write this in the month of December, 2019, I am still employed, and feel blessed to have completed KMY this year. I already applied for subsidy from Karnataka government too, thought cut off age is 45, which is rather sad.

My manager kinda agreed for it, very hesitantly. I put everything at my workplace at risk including my confirmation for this trip and yeah, Lord Shiva pulled it off successfully.

Initially it was planned in the month of May 2019. and what happened next, well in my another post though,

Cheers,

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra - 2019 - KMY 1

In the month of February, in one of the trek groups a friend of mine posted a message saying, he is planning to take part in this year Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, via a private tour operator, and called for any others willing to join.

I had plans to go Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, let me call it KMY hence forth. Since couple of years I had this in sight, but little did I know it had so much process/procedure. It took months to fix things and in between Jet Airways collapsing and shutting operations did not help me in any way.

One of the reason for lesser travel was this too. I wanted to keep in good health for the yatra and not fall sick by involving in summer treks. Summer treks cause lots of dehydration, UTI's. So in a way, I was focused by sitting at home and exercising. But it took months, more on KMY in the following posts.
