The resumption of the pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Mansarovar Lake in China's Tibet Autonomous Region, which has not been held since 2020, is among confidence-building measures being discussed by the two sides after they reached an understanding last October on disengagement of troops at the two remaining friction points of Demchok and Depsang.
