The best time to go on the pilgrimage is April to June when the weather will be favourable.

Registration of pilgrims and tourists has been made compulsory since 2014 after the devastating floods of 2013 which claimed tens of thousands of lives. A large number of the victims were unidentified.

The daily limit on pilgrims in 2022 was 5,000 for Yamunotri, 8,000 for Gangotri, 13,000 for Kedarnath and 16,000 Badrinath.

In place of the Registration Letter, the SMS received on the mobile will also suffice. After verification, a Yatri Certificate is generated online.

A round trip to all the four dhams from Dehi is 2,500 km. It takes about 12 days by road. Helicopter service is also available. The yatra begins in April and lasts over six months till winter sets in with Deepavali.

WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts, believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!

The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.

When the vaccination for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion how simply it can be prevented.

Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the billionaires, adventure specialist Richard Branson launched commercial space travel from his 'Spaceport America' on Sunday, pipping the world's richest man, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, to the post, becoming the early bird to fly to the edge of space as the first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival. Although he did not cross the Karman line.

While the rationalists debunk the episode as a ploy to make up for the losses in offerings during the corona lockdown, the believers stick to their claim, they have seen it after all! The claim of Shankaralinga temple resembles the miracle of Ganesha drinking milk in Delhi way back in 1995. Although they belong to two different branches of science.
