Offline registrations for the highly anticipated Chardham Yatra 2024 will kick off on May 8, 2024, providing pilgrims with the opportunity to embark on this sacred journey to the four Hindu shrines – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Registrations will be facilitated at Rahi Motel in Haridwar and Yatra Registration Office & Transit Camp in Rishikesh.

Ceiling Limit and Duration of Yatra

To streamline the registration process and manage pilgrim influx, a daily ceiling limit has been set for offline registrations. Rishikesh will accommodate up to 1000 registrations per day per dham, while Haridwar will cater to 500 registrations per day per dham. The Chardham Yatra is scheduled to commence on May 10, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, and is expected to continue until November.

Coordination Efforts and Nomination of Teerth Purohits

In a bid to ensure smooth conduct and management of the Chardham Yatra, Uttarakhand Chardham Teerth Purohit Mahapanchayat has nominated two Teerth Purohits from each Dham to coordinate with the Uttarakhand Tourism Department. These nominated Purohits will play a pivotal role in facilitating a seamless experience for pilgrims throughout the journey.

Significance of Chardham Yatra

The Chardham Yatra, an annual pilgrimage, holds deep religious significance for Hindus worldwide. Derived from the Hindi words ‘Char’ meaning four and ‘Dham’ meaning religious places, the Chardham Yatra epitomizes the spiritual journey to the revered shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
