Will deed

Yes he can make WILL at Delhi. And after his demised you can file probate application either at Uttarakhand or Delhi. Remember two witnesses are required in WILLl and later this two witnesses will play vital role in proving the WILL.

Agreeing with membres/experts; prefer to register the WILL.

It is not mandatory to probate the (Valid) WILL at Delhi or Uttrakhand.

The WIll can be executed anywhere whether in delhi or uttarakhand for properties anywhere in India. If your father lives in delhi he can register the WIll in the sub-registrar office that has jurisdiction over his current residence and bequeath any and all properties anywhere in india to persons of his choice in that Will.

But you may also consider using  a Settlement deed which he can register either with life interest (in which case it will come into effect only after his demise) or without life interest or immediate (in which case the property is yours after the registration). It would cost around +-25K (depending on state) for registering a settlement deed .....but it removes lots of hassles confusions that can occur after demise. 

The WILL is valid one.

However, it has its own practical difficultites in effecting the WILL.

Hence, I suggest that your  father can execute a settlement deed reserving a life interest.
