Kangra District Requires Mandatory Registration for Trekkers on Ten Routes Until 2026
The Kangra district administration in Himachal Pradesh has mandated registration for trekkers on ten designated routes in the Dhauladhar mountain range until October 15, 2026. This measure responds to increased incidents of stranded or missing trekkers and accidents, especially during the monsoon season, which poses hazards like landslides and poor visibility. Trekkers must register in person at check-posts operating daily from 5 am to 5 pm, providing itinerary and contact details. Violations may lead to penalties, including bearing rescue costs.
