It was decided that this time instead of offline, the tourism department will register only online through its website. Advance registration will be done according to the capacity of the pilgrims in Char Dham.
Additional teams will be deployed at Haridwar and Rishikesh to assist any passenger who is not able to register earlier. So that the pilgrims coming from far away states can reach the Char Dham easily. Passengers who have registered will also be screened, for which teams will be deployed at Badkot, Guptkashi and Sonprayag. It will look after the registration of passengers in all types of vehicles. If the passenger is not registered then he can be stopped.
Trip Card facility on Tourism website

Till now the trip card was made by putting the registration number of the tourism department on the website of the transport, but now it can be made directly on the website of tourism.
