This page explains how content on Uttrayani is researched, verified, maintained and corrected.
Verification standards
- Official sources first: temple seasons, park windows, permit rules and fares are checked against government portals — Uttarakhand Tourism, IMD, district administrations, temple committees and national-park authorities.
- Field logic: drive times, crowd patterns and infrastructure notes come from first-hand hill experience and local consultation.
- Hedged where uncertain: where sources genuinely disagree (early dynastic dating, for example), we say so instead of inventing precision.
- Dated claims carry stamps: time-sensitive pages (Char Dham dates, snowfall calendars, fares) show when they were last verified.
Update cadence
- Seasonal pages are re-verified before each season (Char Dham dates before April; snow pages before December).
- News-affected pages (disasters, closures, policy changes) are updated as events land.
- Corrections from readers are prioritised — see contact.
AI and authorship
Drafts may be machine-assisted; every published claim is human-verified against official sources before it appears. Authors with first-hand Uttarakhand experience review all destination and trek content.
Independence
We accept no payment for inclusion in itineraries or guides. If commercial placements are ever introduced, they will be labelled on this page. Corrections and disputes: contact.
