Pilgrimage
Char Dham Yatra — Kedarnath & BadrinathA pilgrimage-focused route to two of the four Char Dham shrines — Kedarnath and Badrinath — starting from Haridwar, respecting the seasonal opening dates and altitude these temples require.
Kedarnath and Badrinath are both physically demanding and logistically specific (fixed opening months, altitude, and in Kedarnath's case a trek or helicopter transfer), so this itinerary is built around those realities rather than a generic hill-station pace.
Short drive to Haridwar, one of Hinduism's holiest cities and the point where the Ganges truly begins its plains journey. Evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri, one of India's most atmospheric river ceremonies.
Drive from Haridwar towards Sonprayag, then trek or helicopter to Kedarnath (weather and route conditions permitting).
Darshan at the Kedarnath temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines and one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites, before the descent back down to the trailhead.
Drive onward from the Kedarnath area to Badrinath (approx. 8–9 hours via Joshimath), one of the four Char Dham sites and dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
Darshan at the Badrinath temple on the banks of the Alaknanda river, with time at the nearby Mana village, often described as the last Indian village before the Tibet border.
Morning at leisure in Badrinath before a private transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
Well-located hotels in each city, twin-sharing with breakfast included; a 5-star or heritage-property upgrade is available on request.
Private air-conditioned vehicle and driver for the full itinerary, plus any internal flights specifically listed in the day-by-day plan; airport transfers included.
Daily breakfast included. Lunches and dinners are at your own choice so you can explore local restaurants, with recommendations from your guide — let us know if you'd prefer these pre-arranged instead.
October to March for the most comfortable sightseeing temperatures.
