The tourists will be able to apply online for Nelong valley in Uttarkashi from April 15 onwards. To regulate tourists flow, only 150 tourists will be allowed in a day. On the day of their visits, all the required documents will be screened on single window.
District magistrate of Uttarkashi, Ashish Shrivastva said, “The tourists will be given provisional approval the day they submit online form along with scanned copies of proof of their address and identity card issued next date on which they can visit the valley but before that they will have to show the originals of their documents to the panel of officials of three departments, district administration, forest and army in district administration office.
“The tourists were finding it difficult to visit this scenic vally, which was opened only two years ago by the state, after it was closed post Indo-China-war in 1962 due to hassled entry ticket. The tourists most of the times had no prior knowledge of requirement of inner line permit, and had to return disappointed . Since the permit was earlier issued by sub-divisional magistrate, so in his absence the tourists had to wait for longer. However all these bottlenecks will be removed with the introduction of online and single window system.
