At an initial stage, the ride service will be started with one Yak. Slowly the numbers of Yak will be increasing. The initiative is taken by Animal Husbandry Chamoli.

Several steps are taken to enhance the security and safety on Char Dham route. Dream Project PM Modi for Kedarnath is also high pace like flora and fauna on the sides of the route, Paver blocks till the temple, widening of the shrine area etc.

Nearly 60 percent of the construction of three meters long and fifty feet wide road from temple complex to Sangam has been completed. After the disaster, work on the pedestrian track is also being done to rejuvenate the alienated Garuda Chatti.
