Every Hindu is expected to perform the Yatra at least once in their life time. There is no restriction on visiting the temples for Foreigners, Women etc., Nor is there any strict Dress code, even though pilgrims are advised to dress decently. Piligrims performing the Char Dham yatra are also requested not to use Polyrhene bags, to preserve the sanctity of the temples and conserve the environment.
