In the wake of recent calamity in Uttarakhand and susceptibility of the region to weather conditions, the pilgrims are advised to enquire about weather conditions before commencing the yatra.
The pilgrims proceeding to Kedarnath are required to register themselves at Guptkashi where their mandatory medical examination will be conducted.
Small vehicles can be hired for use till Sonprayag beyond which one has to walk 24 Km to Kedarnath. Also, for the convenience of the yatris, helicopter services to Kedarnath have resumed from Guptkashi and Dehradun.
