Chardham Yatra in 2025 is a special spiritual trip for many followers. After the difficulties caused by the pandemic, the Uttarakhand government has made sure the pilgrimage goes smoothly. To keep things organized and safe, you need to register for the Chardham Yatra well in advance. This helps in managing health and travel facilities for all pilgrims.
Uttarakhand’s well-known Char Dhams are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, which thousands visit each year. The journey covers about 1607 kilometers across the beautiful mountains. It starts at Yamunotri in the Uttarkashi district and ends at Badrinath in the Chamoli district.
The government started the online registration process for Chardham Yatra 2025 early so you can plan your trip without any problems. Registration is required for all visitors except Uttarakhand residents. This year, special care has been taken for health services, including medical camps and an air ambulance for emergencies, thanks to cooperation between the state government and AIIMS Rishikesh.
Due to heavy rains and snowfall, registration for Kedarnath was temporarily paused until 30 April 2024, but it will reopen with updated schedules in 2025. Pilgrims are advised to check weather conditions before planning their visit.
