All vehicles parked in the Camp Site are advised to remain parked for the duration of the festival.
For Health & Safety reasons Yatra Festival cannot allow vehicles to leave the Camp Site and return without permission granted by the event managers/on duty site managers, we advise you try and bring everything you need as pass outs are not easily obtained and will incur a charge.
Anyone needing to leave the festival site will need to have explained this to the senior management team for approval. They will sign out at the Gate, and will receive a temporary re-entry pass. This pass is required along with photo ID and a valid wristband to be approved for re-entry. Your vehicle will be searched upon return as well.
Someone wearing a festival wristband will not be approved for re-entry unless they also have the required re-entry pass and matching photo ID. The wristband will be checked and a damaged wristband will not be accepted as valid.
The returning Participant(s) will need to park a distance away from the Camp Site in a designated non-camping vehicle park.
If you are camping in your vehicle and are considering leaving and returning we recommend you think again – camping is not permitted in the returning participant’s vehicle park!
Yatra 2026 is under no obligation to approve people leaving the festival and returning. Many events do not permit this. Yatra Festival is willing to help accommodate people with a valid unavoidable reason for needing to leave and return, however this has to be managed carefully. Your understanding is appreciated.
PLEASE NOTE: A valid unavoidable reason does not include needing to leave to buy food or get more cash. Participants are required to come prepared for camping in a sub-alpine environment for the duration of their stay at the Festival.
