The Chardham Yatra for Hindu pilgrims comprising of four famous holy Himalayan shrines - Shri Badrinath, Shri Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri - is set to begin from 1 July in Uttarakhand, reports Economic Times.
The development comes as the Uttarakhand Devasthanam Management Board on Monday (29 June) allowed residents of the hill state to visit the shrines from 1 July, subject to various precautionary measures and restrictions to avoid spread of the Covid-19.
The pilgrims will have to apply for mandatory e-passes for the Yatra and they can only embark on the Yatra after passes are issued to them. However, pilgrims from containment and buffer zones won't be allowed to visit the temples for now.
