This Do Dham yatra covers the two shrines most families want to visit when time is short: Kedarnath, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, and Badrinath, the abode of Lord Vishnu. The whole yatra runs by road from Haridwar and back over 5 nights and 6 days, with only the final climb to Kedarnath done on foot, by pony or by palki.
We plan the days so that nobody is rushed. You stay one night right at Kedarnath, which lets you attend the evening aarti and go for darshan again early next morning when the queues are usually lighter. At Badrinath you have time for a dip in Tapt Kund, darshan at the temple and a short visit to Mana village before heading back down the valley.
The road follows the Ganga upstream past Devprayag and Rudraprayag, where rivers meet, and then climbs along the Mandakini and Alaknanda valleys. Hill drives are long, so we keep halts at Guptkashi and Rudraprayag or Srinagar to break the journey into manageable stretches for elderly yatris.
Your group travels in a private vehicle with a driver who knows these mountain roads, stays in clean hotels on a twin or triple sharing basis, and gets pure vegetarian breakfast and dinner every day. Our yatra team stays in touch throughout and helps with registration, the Kedarnath trek arrangements and any change in plans due to weather.

Good to know before you book
- Yatra registration with the Uttarakhand government is compulsory for every pilgrim. It is free and done online at registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in or through the Tourist Care Uttarakhand app. We can help you complete it.
- The walk from Gaurikund to Kedarnath is about 16 km one way and takes most people 6 to 8 hours. Ponies and palkis can be hired locally; helicopter seats are sold only through the official IRCTC Heli Yatra portal and are not part of this package.
- Kedarnath stands at about 3,580 m and Badrinath at about 3,133 m. Nights are cold even in summer, so warm clothing is essential.
- The temples open in late April or May and close for winter around October–November. The 2027 opening dates will be added here as soon as the temple committee announces them.
- Monsoon months (roughly July to mid-September) bring landslides and road blocks on this route. May–June and late September–October are usually the smoothest windows.
- Government rules ban vehicle movement on hill roads late at night, so our drive timings are planned around this.
