Char Dham Yatra from Jaipur: 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 Jaipur. 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 Jaipur
By air. Jaipur has a direct flight to Dehradun's Jolly Grant airport, which is quick — but the road and rail options are close enough in total time to be worth comparing.
By rail. Jaipur to Haridwar is an overnight rail journey, and the road route is also practical, so this is one of the few cities where not flying costs you very little.
Either itinerary works from Jaipur. The ex-Haridwar programme suits a direct Dehradun arrival; the ex-Delhi one suits you if you are routing through Delhi anyway, which many Jaipur travellers are.
