The route

Four Dhams, One Long Climb

You visit the Dhams west to east, in a fixed order. After each one, the road comes all the way back down to the valley. That is why the full circuit takes ten days and not four. Every height shown below is the real one.

The order is fixed

Yamunotri first, then Gangotri, then Kedarnath, then Badrinath. West to east — the order pilgrims have always followed.

Kedarnath is the hard part

There is no road for the last 16 km. You walk it, or we arrange a pony, a palki or a porter.

The season is short

The temples open around Akshaya Tritiya, in late April or May. They close around Bhai Dooj, in October or November. Hotel rooms sell out long before that.

Planned by People Who Know These Roads

Char Dham is not an ordinary holiday. It is up to twelve days of mountain driving at high altitude, in a season that lasts about six months. The same team plans your route, books your rooms, and stays reachable while you travel.

01

Honest driving days

We set each day by what the Garhwal roads actually allow, not by what makes the tour look shorter. You know which days are long before you book.

02

Rooms held early

Rooms at Barkot, Uttarkashi, Guptkashi and Badrinath sell out months before the temples open. We book ours early, so nobody has to rewrite your route halfway through.

03

Registration handled

We complete your Uttarakhand Char Dham registration, the vehicle Green Card and the Kedarnath arrangements before you arrive.

04

One number, always

One person handles your booking, your driver, and anything that changes on the road. No call centre. Nobody transfers your call.

Before you call

Questions we are asked most

If your question is not here, call or send a WhatsApp message. A planner will answer it, not a bot.

When do the Char Dham temples open and close in 2026?

All four open around Akshaya Tritiya, which falls in late April or early May, and close around Bhai Dooj in October or November. The exact dates are announced by the temple committees a few weeks beforehand. Call us and we will tell you the dates that are confirmed at the time you ask.

Is this trip suitable for elderly parents?

For most people, yes, and a large share of our travellers are over sixty. The driving days are long but the pacing is slow, and we build in stops so the body gets used to the altitude. The one hard part is Kedarnath. If that is a worry, the Yamunotri and Gangotri tour has no trek at all.

Do I have to walk 16 km to Kedarnath?

There is no road for the last 16 km, so everyone covers it on foot, by pony, by palki, or with a porter. We arrange whichever you want. Tell us in advance, because these are booked locally and they run out on busy dates.

Do I need to register with the Uttarakhand government?

Yes. Every Char Dham traveller must be registered, and the vehicle needs a valid Green Card. We complete both for you. You only need to send us each traveller's full name, age and a government ID.

How much does a Char Dham tour cost?

There is no single fixed price. The cost depends on your dates, how many people are travelling, the hotel category and the vehicle. Call or WhatsApp us with those details and you will get a written quote, normally the same day. You pay nothing to get one.

What is included, and what is not?

Included: hotels, breakfast and dinner, a private vehicle and driver for the whole circuit, Uttarakhand registration, the Green Card, and one coordinator on call.

Not included: your travel to and from the start city, lunches, pony, palki or porter charges, temple donations and special pooja, tips, personal expenses, and travel insurance.

What happens if a landslide or bad weather stops the tour?

The Garhwal roads close from time to time. If that happens we change the order of the Dhams, the halts or the hotels to keep you moving safely, and we tell you what it costs or saves. If the tour cannot run at all, we return whatever we can recover from the hotels and transport operators, or hold it as credit for later dates, whichever you prefer.

How do I book, and how much do I pay up front?

Call or send a WhatsApp message. We send a written quote with the day-by-day plan and the hotels named. Once you agree, an advance confirms the booking and the balance is due before you start. The exact amounts are in your quotation, and nothing is taken before you have seen them in writing.

Can I change my travel dates after booking?

One date change made more than 30 days before departure is normally free, subject to rooms being available and any difference in seasonal rates. Changes made later are treated as a cancellation and a fresh booking.

Can I visit only two Dhams instead of all four?

Yes. Kedarnath and Badrinath together take six days and cover the two most people come for. Yamunotri and Gangotri together take five days and involve no trek. Both are on this page.
