Char Dham Yatra from Indore: no direct Dehradun flight, so the ex-Delhi itinerary from ₹32,300 per person is usually shorter. Routes, days and costs.
Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, joined to a departure from Indore. 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 Indore
By air. Indore has no non-stop service to Dehradun, so that routing connects. Indore to Delhi is direct and takes a little over an hour and a half.
By rail. Indore to Haridwar by rail runs to around a day, with direct services, which makes the train a real alternative to a connecting flight here.
With no direct Dehradun flight, the ex-Delhi itinerary is usually the better buy from Indore — a short direct hop to Delhi, then the transfer day the programme already includes.
