Char Dham Yatra from Surat: 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 Surat. 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 Surat
By air. Surat has no non-stop service to Dehradun — that routing connects and runs to around five hours in the air. Surat to Delhi, however, is direct and takes roughly two hours.
By rail. Surat sits on the western trunk route, so direct trains to Haridwar run and are a practical alternative to a connecting flight.
This is one of the cities where the ex-Delhi itinerary is usually the better buy. A direct two-hour flight to Delhi beats a connection into Dehradun, and the ex-Delhi programme already opens with the Delhi to Haridwar transfer as a day of its own.
