Komatsu Excavators help carve a new route to Kailash Manasarovar.

At over 17,000 ft high altitude, a new 80 km mountainous road to Kailash Manasarovar, constructed by Border Roads Organization, was opened recently.  The new route extends from Ghatiabgarh-Uttarakhand to Lipulekh Pass, close to the Line of Actual Control. This new route will greatly help the pilgrims as it reduces the travel time from three weeks to one week and ushers a new era in border connectivity.
 
As many as 20 units of Komatsu PC210-8M0 Hydraulic Excavators worked arduously in this inhospitable terrain making it happen. Some of these machines, fitted with Rammer Rock Breakers, were used for breaking and excavating blasted hard rock, often disrupted by snowfall, landslides and flash floods.
