ADVISORY:
- The Chardham Yatra is a pilgrimage tour where a long & hectic journey goes through remote locations of Himalayan region in Uttarakhand. We would request you to kindly do not expect luxury arrangements due to lack of resources in the region and also make yourself physically and mentally prepared to undertake the tour. However, we provide best services and comfortable trip putting our best efforts in the given conditions.
- The Chardham Yatra begins from end of May to Mid-November each year. We suggest you to avoid July and August months as during this period this region witnesses heavy rainfall leads to landslides and other natural adversities.
- We highly recommend to undertake the Chardham Yatra during the month of September – October due to following reasons:
- Weather during this period is very pleasant so the tour becomes comfortable.
- Due to limited tourists, there is hardly any traffic congestion anywhere in the entire trip so the journey becomes less tiring.
- There are almost no queues to visit temple during this period so you get hassle free visit to temple for which you travel from so far away place.
- Sure chance of getting envisaged hotels avoiding alternate hotels which may get downgraded due to non availability situation in peak season.
- Helicopter tickets are easily available and almost no chance of facing overbooking issues.
- During this period you can also add other places in India in your tour plan as weather
Remains pleasant throughout.
- Due to altitude variation you need to carry both summer and winter clothes. (Provided in check list). Women are advised to avoid Sarees and opt for Salwar Kameez or trousers.
- Do consult with your doctor and make sure you do not have any health issues related to high altitudes. If you have ailment like acrophobia, high blood pressure, asthma or other heart problems, please do refrain from undertaking this journey.
- As Chardham Yatra is a seasonal business for hotels, therefore in these locations hotels operate with limited power backup. Therefore, there might be some power interruptions.
- Due to mountain terrain the mobile networks in few places are not good, so keep your family & friends informed if sometimes there is any issue of connectivity.
- Night driver in Hilly area is not safe so not recommended. Also keeping in mind the tourist safety, Uttarakhand police put barriers at several places on hilly routes, so that night drivers can be avoided on hilly areas. (Only emergency service vehicles are allowed for night driver in Hilly region).
- Biometric registration for Chardham Yatra is mandatory for which guest need to stand personally in queue to do the formalities, so please inform the guest in advance regarding the same.
- ATMs (Automated teller machines) are available in many places in during your travel but money exchange facility is available in Haridwar, Rishikesh and Dehradun only.
- VIP Darshan / Special Puja arrangements are subject to availability on the spot.
Dos and Don’ts:
- Eat only what is cooked and drink either packaged or boiled water.
- Carry heavy woolen clothes to protect from cold weather during the month of October-November and carry moderate woolen during Summer Season.
- Carry dry eatable stocks with you like biscuits, Sugar, Candies, Chocolates, milk powder, assorted dry fruits, honey, lemons and tinned foods and other items suiting your palates.
- While visiting Hindu mythological sites, shrines and temples, one should remove shoes and cover head with a piece of cloth before entering the Holy Place.
- Trek only on hill-side, avoid trekking or standing on valley side, as pony (horse) coming from opposite direction may push you down to the valley which may cause serious casualty.
- Don’t overstrain on steep gradients. Move slowly and steadily, as this is a laborious pilgrimage.
- Only registered pony walla, porter, dandy man may be hired as they are available for prefixed tariffs.
