The Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee has issued a new SOP for VIP Darshan for the Chardham Yatra 2026. Only individuals with authorized government protocols will receive VIP access. Other devotees seeking VIP darshan must pay a fee of ₹1100 at the newly established office in Nilkanth Guest House. Special entry provisions via Gate No. 2 have been made for senior citizens and differently-abled pilgrims. The administration has involved various departments and Indian Army officials to manage the increasing crowd and ensure a smooth pilgrimage experience. https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/zeeodisha/national-international/chardham-yatra-2026-new-sop-issued-by-administration-for-vip-darshan-amid-rising-pilgrim-crowd/3242814 #creator program
