Complete checklist of documents needed for the Adi Kailash Yatra Inner Line Permit (ILP) in 2026 — ID proof, medical certificate, photos, fees, and application process at Dharchula SDM office. Adi Kailash, revered as Chota Kailash, sits deep in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, close to the India-Tibet (China) border. Because the yatra route passes through a restricted border zone monitored by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), every pilgrim needs an Inner Line Permit (ILP) before entering the region beyond Dharchula. Without this permit, you will be stopped at the very first checkpost. Here's a complete, up-to-date list of documents and steps you need for a smooth Adi Kailash Yatra 2026.
