No official transactions
We do not issue Yatra registration or RFID cards, sell helicopter, battery car or ropeway tickets, book Shrine Board accommodation, accept donations or offerings, or provide "VIP" or priority darshan. We never ask for your official Shrine Board login details. Links marked "Visit official website" take you to the official site, where any transaction is between you and the Shrine Board.
Information can change
Timings, prices, fares, routes, availability, rules and regulations can change at short notice, including for weather, security or crowd management. While we take care to use authoritative sources and review our content, we cannot guarantee that all information is complete, current or accurate. Please verify time-sensitive information with the appropriate official authority before you travel.
Safety
The Yatra involves a strenuous mountain trek. Information on this site is not medical advice. Consult a doctor where appropriate, and always follow the instructions of the Shrine Board, the police and the district administration.
