Embark on a spiritually enriching 7-day journey to the sacred Kedarnath and Badrinath Dhams, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan ranges of Uttarakhand. This divine pilgrimage offers a perfect blend of devotion, natural beauty, and serene Himalayan charm. From the holy ghats of Haridwar to the spiritually charged air of Kedarnath and the vibrant energy of Badrinath, this yatra takes you through ancient temples, pristine rivers, and sacred confluences. Whether traveling by helicopter or trekking the path of faith, every step brings you closer to peace, blessings, and a life-changing experience amidst divine surroundings.
Day 1: Arrival in Delhi – Drive to Haridwar (220 km | 6–7 hours)
Your spiritual journey begins as you arrive in Delhi, where our representative will greet you and escort you towards Haridwar – the gateway to the Char Dham. On reaching Haridwar, check into your hotel and relax. If time permits, head to the iconic Har Ki Pauri to witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti – a spiritually uplifting experience by the holy Ganges. Enjoy the local surroundings, serene ghats, and sacred ambiance. Overnight stay in Haridwar.
Day 2: Haridwar to Guptkashi/Sitapur via Devprayag & Rudraprayag (230 km | 7–9 hours)
Post breakfast, embark on a long yet scenic drive through winding mountain roads, passing through Devprayag and Rudraprayag – two of the five confluences of the Alaknanda River. These sacred sangams are filled with divine energy. Arrive at Sitapur/Guptkashi and check into your hotel. This day marks the longest road journey in the yatra, so unwind and rest well for the spiritual trek that lies ahead. Overnight stay in Sitapur or Guptkashi.
Day 3: Kedarnath Darshan by Helicopter or Trek – Return/Stay Option (as per choice)
Today is the highlight of your yatra – the darshan of Shri Kedarnath Ji. Choose between trekking (19 km one way from Sonprayag) or flying via helicopter from Phata or Sirsi. Trekking pilgrims usually stay overnight in Kedarnath, soaking in the divine aura and attending the powerful evening Aarti and Rudra Abhishekam. Those opting for a same-day return by helicopter can rest back at Sitapur. Comfortable guest houses and government camps are available for overnight stays near the temple. It’s a day of deep spiritual connection and devotion at the sacred abode of Lord Shiva.
Day 4: Sitapur to Badrinath via Chopta & Joshimath (209 km | 7–8 hours)
After breakfast, proceed towards Badrinath Ji via the enchanting route through Chopta – known as the ‘Mini Switzerland’ of India. As you pass through Pipalkoti and Joshimath, enjoy the scenic Himalayan ranges and Panch Prayag en route. Upon arrival in Badrinath by evening, check in and, time permitting, pay an early visit to the shrine for the evening Aarti. The majestic temple of Lord Vishnu nestled in the Garhwal hills awaits your divine presence. Overnight stay in Badrinath.
Day 5: Badrinath Darshan & Sightseeing – Drive to Rudraprayag (170 km | 6 hours)
Begin your day with a holy dip in Tapt Kund before visiting the Badrinath temple for darshan and rituals. Later, explore nearby sacred sites like Mana – the last village before the Indo-Tibetan border, Saraswati River, Vyas & Ganesh Gufa, and the awe-inspiring Neelkanth Peak. By noon, depart for Rudraprayag, stopping en route to admire the remaining three Prayags – Vishnuprayag, Karnaprayag, and Nandprayag. Arrive in Rudraprayag by evening for overnight stay.
Day 6: Rudraprayag – Devprayag – Rishikesh – Haridwar (160 km | 5–6 hours)
Post breakfast, head towards Haridwar with en-route visits to the fifth and final confluence – Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers unite to form the holy Ganga. Stop at Rishikesh to explore Ram Jhula, Laxman Jhula, and the vibrant riverbanks dotted with ashrams and temples. Depending on your pace, you can witness the Ganga Aarti once again at Har Ki Pauri or enjoy some spiritual shopping in Rishikesh and Haridwar. Overnight stay in Haridwar.
Day 7: Haridwar to Delhi – Departure
After a refreshing breakfast, it’s time to bid farewell to the Himalayas and proceed back to Delhi as per your scheduled flight or train. This concludes your sacred Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra – a soul-purifying journey filled with blessings, beauty, and inner peace. Optional sightseeing in Delhi can be arranged at additional cost.
