The high-altitude locations of the Chardham temples pose risks such as cold weather, altitude sickness, and travel delays due to changing weather conditions. Pilgrims, especially senior citizens and children, may face physical challenges during the journey, including long treks and exposure to extreme temperatures. Rainfall and snowfall can affect road conditions, leading to potential disruptions in travel plans. It is crucial for travellers to be prepared for these risks and to follow safety guidelines to ensure a smooth pilgrimage experience.
