Char Dham Yatra from Ahmedabad: how to reach the start, the 9 nights and 10 days ex-Haridwar itinerary from ₹26,900 per person, and the days to set aside.
Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, joined to a departure from Ahmedabad. The yatra itself starts in Uttarakhand, so what changes from one city to the next is how you reach the start and how many days to set aside either side of it.
Getting to the start from Ahmedabad
By air. Direct flights connect Ahmedabad with Dehradun's Jolly Grant airport, and Delhi is a short and very frequent hop if the Dehradun schedule does not fit.
By rail. Ahmedabad to Haridwar is a straightforward overnight-plus rail journey, and one of the more comfortable train options among these cities.
A non-stop Dehradun flight makes the ex-Haridwar itinerary the shorter option from Ahmedabad. The rail route is genuinely usable here, which is less true from the southern cities.
Trains from Ahmedabad to Haridwar

|---|

The Yoga Express leaves from Sabarmati (SBIB), not Ahmedabad Junction, and runs on to Yog Nagari Rishikesh. Timings as Indian Railways listed them in October 2026; confirm on NTES or IRCTC before you book.

A door-to-door plan from Ahmedabad
- Take a morning flight to Dehradun and you are in Haridwar by about mid-morning on the day the yatra starts.
- Or take the daily Yoga Express, which reaches Haridwar at 11:20 the next day.
- Set aside about 10 to 11 days flying, or about 12 days by train.
