3. Accuracy & Informational Purpose

While our team strives to provide accurate, verified, and ground-researched information for the 2026 season:

• Travel costs, bus/taxi fares, hotel tariffs, cable car ticket prices, and entry fees are subject to seasonal revisions by operators, GMVN, KMVN, and municipal authorities.
• Temple opening and closing dates for Char Dham (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri) and Hemkund Sahib are determined annually according to the Hindu Panchang and official temple committee declarations.
• Permits (such as Inner Line Permits for border areas or Nanda Devi Biosphere entry) must be procured from official government portals or district magistrate offices.

Devbhumi Uttarakhand cannot guarantee that all details will always be up-to-the-minute current, and we accept no liability for discrepancies between published estimates and on-site actuals.
