Online pre-registration is available on the Uttarakhand tourist-care portal, but pilgrims presently still collect the physical permit in person.<\/p>\n<p>Carry Aadhaar or passport, 5\u20136 photos, and an MBBS-issued medical fitness certificate (within 30 days). Apply 5\u201310 days ahead. Permits are issued only while the route is open (roughly May\u2013October).<\/p>\n<p>Restrictions may apply for foreign nationals and OCI card holders in this border zone \u2014 check the latest district administration guidelines.
