Distances and drive times are the ones our own drivers record, not map estimates.
Meet the company representative or chauffeur in Delhi as per the predefined schedule and proceed to Haridwar. On arrival, check in at the hotel. Subject to available time, guests may independently visit Har Ki Pauri for the evening Ganga Aarti and explore the nearby ghats and local market. The vehicle and driver may not remain available for local transfers after the long journey from Delhi.
After breakfast, depart for Barkot or Kharsali. Guests may take an early holy dip in the Ganga before departure. The normal route passes through Mussoorie with a short stop at Kempty Falls. During peak-season congestion, the vehicle may be diverted via Vikas Nagar, in which case the Kempty Falls visit may be omitted. On arrival, check in, have dinner and rest.
Depart early for Janki Chatti via Hanuman Chatti and Phool Chatti. From Janki Chatti, begin the approximately 5 km trek to Yamunotri Dham. On arrival, take a holy dip in the thermal waters, worship Divya Shila and have darshan at the Yamunotri Temple. Return by trek to Janki Chatti, meet the driver and drive back to Barkot or Kharsali for dinner and overnight stay. Pony, palanquin or porter services are available…
After breakfast, proceed towards Uttarkashi or Harsil. The comparatively shorter drive is planned to allow sufficient rest after the Yamunotri trek. Visit the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Uttarkashi before hotel check-in, subject to timing. The remaining day is at leisure.
Leave early after tea or coffee, generally with packed breakfast, for Gangotri Dham. Offer prayers and perform darshan at the Gangotri Temple. Depending on time and road conditions, visit Gangnani, Harsil and Mukhba while returning. Guests may perform Ganga snan, Ganga pujan and visit Bhagirath Shila, Gauri Ganesha Temple and Surya Kund. Return to Uttarkashi for dinner and overnight stay.
Depart early, usually with packed breakfast, for the longest road sector of the pilgrimage. Drive through the Garhwal Himalayas towards Guptkashi, Phata or Sitapur, with views of the Tehri region and river valleys en route. Travel time may increase because of traffic, road work or weather. On arrival, check in and rest.
Proceed early to Sonprayag and continue by local transport to Gaurikund. Begin the trek to Kedarnath Dham. Pilgrims may trek on foot or independently arrange pony, pithu, palanquin or helicopter services at additional cost and subject to availability. After reaching Kedarnath, have darshan of Shri Kedarnath Ji, visit Bhim Shila and experience the sacred surroundings. Overnight accommodation at Kedarnath is basic and…
After morning darshan, trek down from Kedarnath to Gaurikund and continue to Sonprayag. Meet the vehicle and transfer to Guptkashi or Sitapur. This night also works as an operational buffer in case the previous day's movement was affected by weather, trekking delays or helicopter operations. Subject to timely arrival, Triyuginarayan Temple may be visited as an optional, chargeable excursion.
After breakfast, proceed towards Pipalkoti, Govindghat or Badrinath through Ukhimath, Chopta, Pipalkoti and Joshimath. The itinerary normally prefers a stay at Pipalkoti or Govindghat to avoid late-evening movement on the mountain road to Badrinath and to provide a more comfortable pace. A stay in Badrinath may be arranged depending on the selected package, operational feasibility and guest preference.
Proceed for a full-day visit to Badrinath Dham. Take a holy dip in Tapt Kund and have darshan of Badri Vishal. Subject to local permissions, weather and time, explore Mana Village, Vyas Gufa, Ganesh Gufa, Saraswati Udgam, Keshav Prayag, Brahma Kapal, Sheshnetra, Charan Paduka and nearby spiritual sites. View Vishnuprayag and other confluences while returning. Overnight stay is arranged at Govindghat, Pipalkoti…
After breakfast, drive towards Rishikesh or Haridwar. En route, view important Panch Prayag confluences such as Vishnuprayag, Nandprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag depending on the chosen route. On arrival in Rishikesh, guests may explore Ram Jhula, local ashrams and ghats on foot and attend the evening aarti at Parmarth Niketan, subject to time. Check in for the final overnight stay.
After breakfast, check out and drive to Delhi as per the scheduled departure plan. No Delhi sightseeing is included. Additional sightseeing or onward arrangements may be provided separately at extra cost. The pilgrimage concludes upon arrival in Delhi.
