Chardham Yatra To Resume From July 1 For Pilgrims From Uttarakhand

The Uttarakhand Devasthanam Management Board on Monday decided to open the "Chardham Yatra" for pilgrims from within the state from July 1 after remaining shut for months to curb the spread of coronavirus.

The four famous Himalayan shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri in Uttarakhand's Garhwal region are known as "Chardham".

An order permitting Uttarakhand residents to visit the four temples from July 1 subject to various precautionary measures and restrictions was issued by the Temple Board's CEO Ravinath Raman on Monday.
