Chardham Yatra 2022: Government fixes per day limit of devotees visiting Chardham
The Uttarakhand government has limited the daily limit of pilgrims coming during the Char Dham Yatra. These guidelines have been issued especially for the pilgrims going to Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. The journey will start from May 3 and this limit will be applicable for the first 45 days. This order has been issued by the government on 30 April.
The daily limit for the number of pilgrims is 15,000 for Badrinath, 12,000 for Kedarnath, 7,000 for Gangotri and 4,000 for Yamunotri. This instruction has been issued keeping in mind that a record number of pilgrims are likely to come this year. Because there is no restriction regarding Covid right now.
It has been said in the order that this decision has been taken keeping in view the geographical conditions of the state. Along with this, while issuing the order, the capabilities of the hotels here and the parking facilities on the Char Dham Yatra route have also been kept in mind. Due to Corona last year, many problems had to be faced.
The movement of vehicles on the Char Dham Yatra route will also be closed from 10 pm to 4 am. The Yatra will begin on May 3 with the opening of the doors of Gangotri and Yamunotri temples in Uttarkashi district. Kedarnath will open on 6th May and Badrinath on 8th May. However, transporters and hoteliers are apprehensive that the bookings already made may get canceled due to the sudden imposition of the daily limit.
