A gap is not a fact. It means we looked and found no source.

• Season history: no opening or closing dates found for 2022, 2023 or 2024, and no closing date for 2025. All dates found come from tour operators, not from the administration or newspapers.
• The 2026 opening date differs between operators (1 May and 15 May), as does the September 2026 reopening (15, 18 and 20 September).
• Permit fee, validity and the exact document list are not on the official portal's front page; documents listed come from operators.
• Jolingkong altitude: the district page gives 15,000 feet in its text and 15,650 feet in its table (4,572 and 4,770 metres).
• No highway number found; the road name comes from a newspaper headline seen in search results.
• Uttarakhand green cess: the exemption for two-wheelers is reported by two news outlets; no Transport Department order or official page was found.
• Own motorcycles beyond Dharchula: three unofficial guides disagree and no order from the district administration was found. Rider videos show motorcycles on the Dharchula to Gunji road.
• The rider guide on own motorcycles shows no printed date; 2025 is taken from the addresses of its images.
• Videos: titles and channels were read from the video pages; filming dates and motorcycles are not confirmed.
• Some stretch distances are doubtful. The open map may not know the road riders use, so the routing service went the long way round.
