Pilgrims can now continue the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand after the region’s weather conditions improved, allowing the government to lift restrictions.
Earlier this week, the Uttarakhand government announced that the Char Dham Yatra would resume after a significant improvement in weather conditions across the state.
The decision follows a period of heavy snowfall and adverse weather that had halted the pilgrimage route for several days. Authorities confirmed that roads leading to the four sacred sites—Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri—are now clear and safe for travel.
Officials emphasized that safety protocols will remain in place, with checkpoints and medical support available along the route. The resumption is expected to boost tourism and support local economies that rely heavily on pilgrimage traffic.
Pilgrims from across India are expected to flock to the holy sites, marking a return to normalcy for a tradition that holds deep religious significance for millions of devotees.
