Registration centers and transit camps will open in Rishikesh, Rishikul Ground in Haridwar, and Vikas Nagar in Dehradun.
Information available on toll-free numbers
Devotees can call the toll-free number 0135-1364 for any information or inconvenience. The Uttarakhand government has requested all pilgrims traveling on the Char Dham Yatra to register before starting their journey to ensure a smooth and organized journey.
Importance of the Char Dham Yatra
According to religious beliefs, devotees starting the Char Dham Yatra from Yamunotri face no obstacles.
Yamunotri is the origin of the Yamuna River. Yamuna is the sister of Yamraj and has been blessed with the boon of alleviating the suffering of all through her waters.
It is believed that devotees who bathe in Yamunotri are freed from the fear of death. Like every year, millions of devotees are expected to visit Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri shrines.
