Char Dham Yatra

Trip overview

All four Himalayan dhams in order, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, with registration, helicopter or pony options and rest stops for the altitude.

The route spends 1 night in Haridwar, 2 nights in Yamunotri, 2 nights in Gangotri, 2 nights in Kedarnath, 2 nights in Badrinath and 1 night in Rishikesh, so you get time for the main sights without changing hotels every day. It suits pilgrimage tours and senior-friendly holidays, and every day can be shortened, swapped or extended.

1. Haridwar 1N
2. Yamunotri 2N
3. Gangotri 2N
4. Kedarnath 2N
5. Badrinath 2N
6. Rishikesh 1N

Good to know

• Haridwar: Reach Har Ki Pauri at least an hour before aarti to get a good spot on the ghat.
• Yamunotri: Registration is compulsory for all Char Dham pilgrims; we complete it for you before the trip.
• Gangotri: Rest a night at Uttarkashi or Harsil on the way up to adjust to the altitude.
• Kedarnath: Registration with the state government is mandatory; helicopter seats are sold only on the official IRCTC portal.
• Badrinath: Spend a night at Joshimath or Pipalkoti on the way up to break the long drive.
• Rishikesh: Book rafting with a licensed operator and choose the 16 km stretch from Shivpuri for first-timers.
