Auli + Badrinath 2026: The Mandatory Registration Tip
If you plan to visit Badrinath while in Auli (once the gates open in April 2026), your taxi must be registered on the Yatra portal. Ensure your Rishikesh to Auli taxi service is "Yatra-Ready" with a valid Green Card and trip permit. This avoids the frustration of being turned back at the Joshimath check-post because of missing paperwork.
