The high-altitude nature of the Do Dham Yatra poses risks, particularly for senior citizens and individuals with pre-existing health conditions such as heart or respiratory issues. The monsoon season increases the likelihood of landslides and road closures, which can disrupt travel plans. Additionally, the trek to Kedarnath involves a 16-km journey on foot, by pony, palki, or helicopter, which may be physically demanding. Pilgrims are advised to prepare for cold and rainy weather, as temperatures in the region can drop significantly, even during summer.
