The Char Dham Yatra 2025 is set to commence on April 30, with the doors of Gangotri and Yamunotri opening to pilgrims. In preparation for the influx of devotees, the Uttarakhand government has initiated offline registration at 20 designated counters in Haridwar, marking the beginning of the registration process today.

District Tourism Officer Sushil Nautiyal confirmed that each day, up to 1,000 pilgrims can register offline at these counters, which include provisions for senior citizens, divyangs (persons with disabilities), and foreign nationals. He emphasised that the registration process is free of charge and aims to streamline the pilgrimage experience. The counters are strategically located to accommodate the high volume of visitors expected during the yatra.
