Most family members of Arun Pandey, a resident of Kathmandu, have already gone to the Manasarovar lake, Burang County, Tibet. His father went to the revered lake as a pilgrim in the 1990s. Coming back, the father told other family members a lot about the lake.
Having heard so much great about the area, Arun Pandey’s son Abijit also wanted to go see if it was exactly the way his grandfather described it. In 2014, he made his plan successful.
Arun wanted to accompany Abijit. But, due to various circumstances, he could not and since 2018 has been trying to go. Work kept him busy most years, but in October 2019 he booked a trip to go there in May 2020. But due to Covid-19, China closed the border and since then, he has not been able to go.
