Step-by-Step Registration Process

• • Visit the official Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra registration portal (registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in) or use the Tourist Care Uttarakhand mobile app.
• • Create an account using your mobile number and email ID.
• • Select the dhams you plan to visit and enter your preferred travel dates.
• • Upload the required documents for each traveller in your group.
• • Submit the form and download your registration confirmation with a unique registration number/QR code.
• • Carry a printed and digital copy of this confirmation throughout your yatra - it will be checked at multiple points.

Alternative Ways to Register - WhatsApp, Helpline & Offline Counters

• • WhatsApp registration: If you're not comfortable with the online portal, registration assistance is available through WhatsApp - this is especially useful for senior citizens and first-time pilgrims.
• • Toll-free helpline: The Uttarakhand government operates a tourist helpline for yatra-related queries including registration help - useful if you have questions or face issues while registering.
• • Offline counters: Physical registration counters are also set up at key entry points such as Haridwar and Rishikesh for pilgrims who could not complete registration online before arriving.
• • If you book your yatra through us, we handle registration entirely on your behalf, so you don't need to use any of these options yourself - just share your documents and travel dates.

Documents Required

• • Valid government photo ID (Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID or Driving Licence)
• • Recent passport-size photograph
• • Mobile number and email ID for OTP verification and confirmation
• • Medical fitness certificate (recommended for senior citizens and those with health conditions)

What Happens After Registration

Once your registration is successfully submitted, you'll receive a confirmation with a unique registration number and a QR code, either by SMS, email, or directly downloadable from the portal/app. This QR code acts as your official yatra pass and will be scanned at multiple checkpoints along the route - typically at Haridwar/Rishikesh entry points, and again near each dham before you're allowed to proceed further. It's important to keep both a printed copy and a phone screenshot of this confirmation, since network connectivity is unreliable in several stretches of the mountain route. Your registration QR code will be scanned at official verification counters at Haridwar, Rishikesh, Sonprayag, and temple base points. In case any detail on your registration needs correction after submission, minor edits are usually possible through the same portal login before you begin travel.

Registration Fees

Online Char Dham Yatra registration through the official government portal is currently free of cost for individual pilgrims. Be cautious of third-party websites charging a fee for basic registration - always verify you are using the official government portal. If you book your yatra through us, we handle this step for you as part of your package at no separate charge.
