Kedarnath and Badrinath Do Dham Yatra Planning Guide

Do Dham Yatra is ideal for travellers who want to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath without covering the full Char Dham circuit. Common starting points are Haridwar, Delhi and Dehradun. The journey usually includes Guptkashi or Sonprayag for Kedarnath and Joshimath, Pipalkoti or Badrinath for the Badrinath side. Travellers should plan for Kedarnath trek arrangements, helicopter availability, weather buffers and comfortable overnight halts. CareMyTrip packages can be customized for families, senior citizens, small groups and private vehicles.
