The Kedarnath Yatra is set to benefit from the restoration of the old walking route, which sustained significant damage during the devastating 2013 floods. This route, traditionally used by pilgrims, stretches from Rambara to Garudchatti.
The 2013 disaster caused severe damage to the original 14-kilometer route, increasing the distance to 16 kilometers and creating considerable challenges for pilgrims. Restoration efforts are currently underway with the aim of completing the project this year. Authorities plan to reopen the old route after the rainy season, providing pilgrims with a more accessible and convenient path.
In addition to restoring the route, officials are focused on ensuring that pilgrims have access to adequate facilities and amenities along the way. This includes providing essential services and ensuring the safety and comfort of those undertaking the pilgrimage.
Pilgrims planning to undertake the Char Dham Yatra, which includes Kedarnath, are required to register. Registration can be completed both online and offline, making the process accessible to all.
