Pilgrims told to start Yatra only after registration

Monday, 16 May 2022 | PNS | Dehradun

The State government has advised all those willing to come to Uttarakhand for Char Dham Yatra to ensure that they have compulsorily done their registration before proceeding for the Yatra.

The State’s Tourism secretary Dilip Jawalkar said that the limit on the number of pilgrims at each of the Char Dham shrines has been fixed keeping in mind safety of the pilgrims and thus every pilgrim should commence for the pilgrimage only after getting the registration done to avoid inconvenience at a later stage.

The Tourism secretary has also asked the pilgrims to thoroughly go through the health advisory and follow it in totality. The Tourism department has also categorically held that those arriving for Char Dham Yatra without registration will not be allowed to carry on with the pilgrimage and will be stopped at Rishikesh, the starting point of the Yatra. The pilgrims have been further asked to come for the Yatra as per the dates provided by them during the registration. 

The pilgrims have also been asked to go for hotel and other bookings only after their registration is confirmed. The registration is being done on registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in

The authorities have also asked the pilgrims to get themselves fully checked before proceeding for the Yatra as tough terrain and weather conditions could pose a challenge for them. 

As the Char Dham shrines are located in high altitude Himalayan regions, the pilgrims encounter low oxygen levels, more ultraviolet radiation and extreme cold conditions which adversely affect one’s health and thus health check up is advisable. The health advisory is also available on the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board’s (UTDB) social media accounts.
