With deep rooted spiritual beliefs, the sites are frequented by nearly 54 lakh pilgrims and are some of the top visited places in India. Call it due to its serene valley, rocky stretches, making it one of the most difficult treks in India or an ideal summer destination in India, Char Dham is inspiring and challenging. Situated in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, the four sites &#8211; Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath can take nearly 10 days to complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are many Char Dham Yatra family packages that will cover everything, they are often risked with fighting for bus seats or unsanitary accommodations.

This period of April to June is often considered as the best time to do the Char Dham Yatra in 2024. The sites are then open till early October and then are shut till the next April as it is considered extremely dangerous due to the hilly and cold terrains during the winters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-get-there\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_there\"><\/span><strong>How to get there<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"by-air%25c2%25a0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_Air\"><\/span><strong>By Air\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun is the closest airport to Haridwar. Haridwar to Rishikesh is quite close by road and can perhaps serve as an alternate starting point for Char Dham Yatra. We advise booking your tickets in advance as the Char Dham Yatra flights fill in seats quite quickly. Another alternative would be through helicopter as there are many Char Dham Yatra by helicopter services from Delhi and Dehradun.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"by-train%25c2%25a0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_Train\"><\/span><strong>By Train\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Haridwar and Rishikesh are well connected through railways. During peak season, it is recommended to travel the Char Dham Yatra by public transport.

Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter can give you splendid views of Kedarnath, Badrinath and the other sites. The char dham yatra helicopter rides start from Rishikesh, which is a beautiful summer destination in India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you travel to the char dham yatra by helicopter packages, the travel time is reduced and the entire journey can be completed in a matter of 3-4 days. Consider extending your trip and exploring the various places to visit in Rishikesh. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/yoga-retreats-and-river-rafting-in-rishikesh\/\">Enjoy yoga and river rafting in Rishikesh<\/a> along with many adventure sports that are offered in the region. However, let&#8217;s venture into the Char Dham Yatra by road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"char-dham-yatra-route\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Char_Dham_Yatra_Route\"><\/span><strong>Char Dham Yatra Route<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the four sites, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath are located closeby to each other, the higher altitudes often make it difficult to travel. It is often advised to take a detour to charge yourselves. However, many people often take the Char Dham Yatra by helicopter and complete it within two days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start the Char Dham Yatra, one needs to travel to Rishikesh from Delhi as it serves as a common gateway to these sites. According to Hindu mythology, the Char Dham Yatra has to be completed from west to east and hence, one needs to travel to Yamunotri from Haridwar, Gangotri from Yamunotri, and then Kedarnath to Badrinath.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-1170x658.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-770x433.png 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1-270x152.png 270w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Haridwar-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-1-2-haridwar-to-yamunotri%25c2%25a0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1_%E2%80%93_2_Haridwar_to_Yamunotri\"><\/span><strong>Day 1 &#8211; 2 Haridwar to Yamunotri\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Sunset-in-Haridwar-86720-pixahive-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Yamunotri is the first Dham to be covered in the Char Dham Yatra trip from Haridwar. Start your day with a dip in the Ganga as early as possible. Travelling from Haridwar or Rishikesh to Yamunotri would possibly take two complete days as the later half of the journey requires a trek to reach Yamunotri.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Haridwar, take a bus or taxi to Barkot, which is situated at an elevation of 1220 mts. This route from Haridwar to Yamunotri goes through Barkot and leads to Janki Chatti. From Janki Chatti, one needs to then trek to Yamunotri which may take anywhere from 4-5 hours. The trek might be difficult, but splendid views are guaranteed during this trek. Through these holy stairways will lead to Yamunotri, which is dedicated to Yamuna and is built of black marble.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-2-3-yamunotri-to-gangotri\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_2_%E2%80%93_3_Yamunotri_to_Gangotri\"><\/span><strong>Day 2 &#8211; 3 Yamunotri to Gangotri<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The route to Gangotri goes via Rishikesh again. However, if you\u2019re too fatigued from the Yamunotri trek, we recommend looking for a stay in Rishikesh and charging yourselves up. There are many beautiful stays in Rishikesh to choose from as Rishikesh in summer has pleasant weather and amazing sightseeing. Rishikesh serves as a common point for all the Char Dham Yatra sites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Rishikesh, one can then head back to Barkot and start a trek towards Gangotri Dham. Gangotri and Yamunotri are connected to each other by Barkot and perhaps are some of the most challenging aspects of the Char Dham Yatra.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While travelling to Gangotri by road, one can stop by the Gangnani &#8211; a hot water spring. Breaks are vital while on the Char Dham Yatra and Gangnani hot spring is an ideal one. If you leave from Barkot at 6 AM, you\u2019ll reach Gangotri by 4 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-4-5-gangotri-to-uttarkashi%25c2%25a0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_4_%E2%80%93_5_Gangotri_to_Uttarkashi\"><\/span><strong>Day 4 &#8211; 5 Gangotri to Uttarkashi\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Gangotri_temple-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Uttarkashi translates to \u2018Benaras of the North\u2019 and offers an experience no less than Benaras. Whether you take the Char Dham Yatra by helicopter or road, it is ideally recommended to stop by Uttarkashi. However, heading into Uttarkashi from Gangotri, take the journey leisurely and there aren\u2019t many places that offer a paradise like Uttarkashi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This small town offers similar temples and ghat views like the very city is named after. Perhaps being situated between two rivers, a dip in the river is not a bad idea to recharge yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-5-7-uttarkashi-to-kedarnath-via-gaurikund\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_5_%E2%80%93_7_Uttarkashi_to_Kedarnath_via_Gaurikund\"><\/span><strong>Day 5 &#8211; 7 Uttarkashi to Kedarnath via Gaurikund<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uttarkashi to Kedarnath is a pretty long and strenuous route. It is highly recommended to make an overnight stay in Gaurikund while travelling from Uttarkashi to Kedarnath. Uttarkashi to Gaurikund will take nearly 10 hours if you\u2019re travelling to Kedarnath by road. The third Dham is possibly one of the most remote Dhams and takes a lot of time to travel. Perhaps the reason why we recommend travelling till Gaurikund is the various types of accommodations in Gaurikund that can help you rest and relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shagun-chaudhari-I66oIZYy0ms-unsplash-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the next step from Gaurikund is a trek to Kedarnath dham, do take a dip in the hot water springs and start early to get a headstart.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-7-8-gaurikund-to-kedarnath\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_7_%E2%80%93_8_Gaurikund_to_Kedarnath\"><\/span><strong>Day 7 &#8211; 8 Gaurikund to Kedarnath<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Kedarnath_shrine-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be by far the most challenging treks in the Char Dham Yatra. Being in a remote location and flood hit in 2013, Kedarnath is considered one of the most revered dhams of all the Char Dhams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in Shivji\u2019s home, the trek to Kedarnath is nearly 11 kms long at an elevation of 3,583 mts above sea level. Unchanged for centuries and even after being hit by a disastrous flood in 2013, a trek to Kedarnath is the most satisfying and rewarding of all. The deep rooted faith and voices of Lord Shiva echoing from the devotees, the trek is similar to <strong>Vaishno Devi.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the elderly, we recommend travelling to Kedarnath by horse or doli as it can be very difficult. The rates will be charged subject to the amount of pilgrims anywhere from Rs. 100 to Rs. 2500.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"day-8-9-kedarnath-to-badrinath-via-rudraprayag\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_8_%E2%80%93_9_Kedarnath_to_Badrinath_via_Rudraprayag\"><\/span><strong>Day 8 &#8211; 9 Kedarnath to Badrinath via Rudraprayag<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many people travel to Rudraprayag from Kedarnath, we recommend staying at Gaurikund since the trek to Kedarnath is strenuous and shouldn\u2019t be risked in completing it in a day. The next morning, one can head towards Rudraprayag from Gaurikund.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many buses to Rudraprayag that leave from Gaurikund and charge a nominal fee.
