As per Uttarakhand Government travel guidelines, you must register yourself and your vehicles before embarking on your journey to Char Dham and Hemkund Sahib. It’s also important to verify yourself against the objectives as you reach each shrine. According to the government, this free exercise is a small step to help themselves and the government administration to efficiently manage yatra surveillance and security.
