He attached pictures of the Mansarovar lake and Kailash mountain.
"A man goes to Kailash when it calls him. I am so happy to have this opportunity and to be able to share what I see on this beautiful journey with all of you," Gandhi said.
The Congress president embarked on a 12-day trip to Kailash Mansarovar on August 31 via Nepal. He is likely to cover a distance of 60 kilometres on foot. Gandhi's trip to Kailash Mansarovar has been questioned by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with the latter demanding an explanation from the Congress President.
Accusing Gandhi of being a "Chinese spokesperson," BJP's Sambit Patra had said, "You are Rahul Gandhi, not 'Chinese' Gandhi'. What is it that you always speak in favour of the neighbouring country?"
