Char Dham Yatra 2023
The Chardham Yatra, a holy pilgrimage to four shrines in Uttarakhand, will only accept online registrations for the 2023 season, according to a recent announcement. The decision to go completely online was made to ensure greater efficiency and transparency, as well as to eliminate corruption and other forms of malpractice that have been associated with the manual registration process in the past.
To facilitate the online registration process, the government has launched a new website, chardhamregistration.com, where pilgrims can apply for passes and make payments. The website also provides information on the various routes, accommodations, and other details related to the yatra.
The Chardham Yatra typically runs from April to November, with peak season from May to June. The pilgrimage is considered a major religious and cultural event in the Hindu tradition and attracts thousands of devotees yearly. The four shrines that make up the yatra are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
Overall, the move to online registration is a positive step towards greater efficiency and transparency in the Chardham Yatra. It will make the registration process easier for pilgrims and help reduce the potential for corruption and other malpractices. It is also likely to have a positive impact on tourism in the region, which is a significant source of income for many locals.
