China yesterday welcomed Indian pilgrims to Mana Sarovar and Mt. Kailash through the Nathu La pass.

"Made in India" is making a big effect in the border villages.

The Nathu La Pass sits 4,545 meters above sea level and is wedged between Tibet's Yadong County in Xigaze prefecture, and India's Sikkim state.

The opening of the pass was agreed upon a year ago, when Chinese president Xi Jinping had visited India and signed the pact for improving ties between the two countries. The entire distance of 1,500 km would be covered over three days.
