It is worth mentioning that the Chardham Yatra starts with Haridwar and Rishikesh. For the pilgrims of Chardham yatra, there is no problem to stay, for this, more than 50 guesthouses have been constructed on the Chardham yatra route by GMVN, but there is not enough accommodation in Haridwar and Rishikesh. Pilgrims from abroad have to stay in private hotels & Dharamshala’s in both cities Rishikesh & Haridwar.  Many times pilgrims have to take shelter in railway stations and bus stations if they do not get the place. The government has now decided to construct a transit camp equipped with state-of-the-art facilities at Rishikesh costing Rs.15 crore.
