Quick answers
Is registration compulsory for the Char Dham Yatra?
Yes. Every pilgrim must register online on the Uttarakhand Tourism registration portal (registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in) or at official counters before the yatra, and carry the registration with the same photo ID.
Where do I book a Kedarnath helicopter ticket?
Only on IRCTC HeliYatra (heliyatra.irctc.co.in). Police have blocked around 550 fake pages, websites and WhatsApp numbers selling fake helicopter tickets.
Do I need a permit for Adi Kailash and Om Parvat?
Yes. The route beyond Dharchula needs an Inner Line Permit issued by the Dharchula SDM administration. Keep photo ID, photos and a medical fitness certificate ready.
Do out-of-state cars pay a green cess in Uttarakhand?
Yes. Vehicles registered outside Uttarakhand pay a green cess collected automatically by number-plate cameras at border points; two-wheelers, EVs and CNG vehicles are exempt.
Is registration needed to visit Mussoorie?
Yes. Since July 2025 tourists staying in Mussoorie are registered on the Uttarakhand Tourism portal; the hotel or homestay registers you at check-in.
