Chardham Yatra questions
Which Char Dham packages are available?
By road, 9 nights and 10 days from Haridwar at ₹26,900 per person, or 11 nights and 12 days from Delhi at ₹32,300. By air, the helicopter circuit runs 5 nights and 6 days at ₹2,25,000 per person on a minimum of six passengers.
How long does the Char Dham Yatra take?
Ten to twelve days by road, covering Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. The helicopter circuit does the same four shrines in six days.
When do the Char Dham temples open and close in 2026?
Yamunotri and Gangotri opened on 19 April, Kedarnath on 22 April and Badrinath on 23 April. Gangotri closes on 10 November, Yamunotri and Kedarnath on 11 November and Badrinath on 13 November. Closing dates are tentative.
Which months are best for the yatra?
May to June, and September to October. The monsoon months between them bring landslides and road closures across the Garhwal ranges, and while the shrines stay open, travel becomes unpredictable.
Is there a shorter option than all four Dhams?
Yes. Do Dham covers Kedarnath and Badrinath in 5 nights and 6 days from Haridwar at ₹17,900 per person, or 7 nights and 8 days from Delhi at ₹21,900. Ek Dham Kedarnath is 3 nights and 4 days from ₹11,500.
Does the yatra include the Kedarnath trek?
Yes. The shrine is roughly 21 km on foot from Gaurikund, or a separately booked helicopter. Every road programme builds in an overnight halt at Kedarnath and a buffer night in the base sector below it.
