Your spiritual tour will start as you arrive at Delhi railway station or airport and our representative will meet you. You'll be transferred to Haridwar and take a dip in river Ganga. You can have lunch en route at Haridwar, and then proceed ahead toward Rishikesh. Rishikesh is situated in Tehri Garhwal region on the Ganges River banks. This ancient city has many religious and mythological legends associated with Lord Bharat, Lord Vishnu, and many other famous sages. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya established Rishikesh in the 9th century AD.
After arriving at Rishikesh, you'll check in to your hotel and relax. The evening is at your disposal so you can spend it as you want. Have an overnight stay at your hotel, preparing yourself for the further journey.
On the second day, you'll check out from your hotel and enjoy a morning drive to Gaurikund. The Gaurikund route passes through Guptkashi. Gaurikund is perched on the banks of River Mandakini and is known to be the gateway to spirituality and salvation. It sits at around 2,000 metres above sea level and serves as the base camp for the Kedarnath trek. The majestic Gaurikund Temple and picturesque Gauri Lake are the two most important attractions of the Gaurikund town. The Himalayas serve as the backdrop of Gaurikund, and it is dotted with accommodation options such as Dharamshalas and guest houses.
Once you reach Gaurikund, you'll check in to your hotel. You can spend the evening visiting nearby attractions, exploring the temples, or relaxing in your room. Char Dham Yatra registration QR code is verified at the Sonprayag checkpoint, 5 km before Gaurikund — ensure your registration is complete before departure. Our team assists all pilgrims with registration before leaving Delhi.
Have a pleasant stay at your Gaurikund hotel.
Have a hearty breakfast and prepare yourself for the 16 km trek to Kedarnath. Perched at 3,583 metres above sea level, Kedarnath Temple is reached by trekking from Gaurikund through one of India's most revered Himalayan trails. The trek passes through Jungle Chatti (4 km), Bheembali (7 km), and Linchauli (11 km) — rest stops are available at each point.
The trek must begin from Gaurikund before 1:30 PM daily as per Rudraprayag District Administration rules. Pony and palki services are available at Gaurikund for those who cannot trek. Most pilgrims complete the ascent in 6–8 hours.
After completing your trek, you'll reach the Kedarnath Temple. General darshan begins at 6:00 AM; the temple closes for afternoon rituals from approximately 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM and evening darshan runs until 8:00 PM.
After Darshan, visit Bhairavnath Temple — the deity believed to guard Kedarnath through the winter months. Have a restful sleep at your Kedarnath hotel.
In the morning, you will head back from Kedarnath to Gaurikund. The 16 km return trek passes through the same scenic route — lush green forests, panoramic river views, and mountain valleys. Pilgrims must begin descent from Kedarnath before 5:00 PM as per administration rules.
Once you reach Gaurikund, you'll have lunch and then drive to Chopta via the Ukhimath route. Once you reach Chopta, you'll be transferred to your pre-booked hotel for an overnight stay. If preferred, you can take the Rudraprayag route from Gaurikund and stay at Rudraprayag.
After breakfast, you will travel via Joshimath and Govindghat to Badrinath. The drive is very scenic and passes through the Panch Prayag confluences — Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag, and Vishnuprayag are visible along this stretch.
Badrinath houses the Badrinath Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is situated at 3,133 metres (10,279 feet) above sea level along the Alaknanda River. Once you reach Badrinath, you'll be transferred to your hotel. You are free to spend the evening as you like.
In the morning, take a ritual bath in Tapt Kund — the natural hot spring beside the temple — before entering for Darshan. Badrinath Temple opens at 4:30 AM for the Maha Abhishek Aarti. General Darshan runs from 4:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM (temple closes 1–4 PM for bhog rituals).
Badrinath Temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is worshipped here in the form of Badrinarayan. After Darshan, visit Mana Village — 3 km from the temple and the last inhabited settlement before the India–Tibet border. Vyas Cave, Ganesh Cave, and Brahma Kapal Ghat are all within walking distance in Mana Village.
Drive to Rishikesh via Devprayag and Rudraprayag. Devprayag is where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet to form the Ganga — a brief stop here is part of the journey. You can have lunch en route. When you arrive in Rishikesh, you will be driven to your pre-arranged hotel for the night.
Have breakfast and check out from your hotel. Drive to Delhi (approximately 240 km, 5–6 hours). You will be dropped at Delhi Railway Station or Airport to continue your onward journey.
