For our own Uttarakhand treks, we always apply online through the forest department’s portal, bhai. But the real permit? It’s the chai and talk with the local villager whose land you cross. Last season, my Nanda Devi permit was just a paper; the shepherd's blessing at Tolma got us through the true check-post. The system is there, but the mountain listens to respect, not just stamps.
