Reliance Jio has announced the launch of its True 5G services to cover the sacred Char Dham temples in Uttarakhand. This move will give Jio True 5G customers access to the Jio 5G network while they are traveling to the Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri dhams.

Jio has established a presence across Uttarakhand—from the state capital of Dehradun to the remote Indian village of Mana near the Indo-Tibet border. Jio has coverage in all of the Chardhams, along the trekking route to the revered Shri Kedarnath Dham, and even at the Shri Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara, situated at an altitude of 13,650 meters.
