Haridwar · Est. 2010

Four shrines. One road. No middleman.

Char Dham Yatra 2026 from Haridwar, run by the people who run it — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath from ₹18,500 per person. Fifty thousand pilgrims since 2010, and not one of them paid an agent’s commission.

The circuit

Four shrines, in the order the road takes them

The Char Dham is walked clockwise — west to east, Yamuna to Vishnu. Each one sits at a different altitude and asks something different of you.

The collection

Choose your pace

Thirty-one itineraries across five ways of doing this — on the road, by helicopter, or one shrine at a time.

The difference

Most Char Dham prices carry an agent’s margin you never see.

We are the operator. The vehicles, the drivers, the hotel relationships and the pujaris at the temples are ours. When you pay us, the money goes into the trip rather than into the layer above it.

You pay the operator

No aggregator, no agent commission. The quote you get is the cost of the trip plus our margin, and nothing else.

Founded 2010, Haridwar

Started by Dhanesh Chandra Mishra, a retired Army officer, and still run from Bhupatwala. Fifty thousand pilgrims since.

Hill-trained drivers

Every driver on the Char Dham circuit has run it for at least three seasons. Vehicles are checked before each departure.

Oxygen on every vehicle

A cylinder travels with you from Haridwar. Our drivers know the location of every medical post on the route.

Registration handled

The mandatory Uttarakhand Tourist Care registration is completed for every traveller before departure. No portal, no queue.

Priced before you pay

Full written costing with inclusions and exclusions before any advance. Twenty-five percent holds the booking.

Booked after comparing four operators. What sold me was that the person who answered the phone was the person who ran the trip. Hotels, vehicle and darshan slots were exactly as quoted. The Kedarnath trek support was the strongest part — our guide walked at my father’s pace the whole way and never once made it feel like a problem.

Eight of us, including my parents at 72 and 69. Palki was arranged for both at Kedarnath without any fuss. Ramesh bhai, our driver, was calm on roads that frightened me and knew every tea stop worth stopping at. Ground-floor rooms at every hotel, as promised.

Sunita SharmaJaipur · Senior Citizen Char Dham 12N/13D · April 2026 Verified traveller

The price I was quoted in February was the price I paid in May. After what I read about agent markups, that alone was worth it. Badrinath darshan was handled well and Tapt Kund before the 4:30 AM slot was something I will remember for a long time.

Priya MehtaPune · Do Dham 6N/7D · May 2026 Verified traveller

Three generations travelling together, and the pacing was right for all of us. Oxygen was on the vehicle and we needed it once, at Kedarnath, and it was there in under a minute. They arranged proper Tamil vegetarian food at two hotels on request, which I did not expect this far north.

Dr. Ganesh IyerChennai · Char Dham 11N/12D · June 2026 Verified traveller

Six days, all four dhams. One flight was held two hours for cloud at Kedarnath, which is nobody’s fault, and the team kept us updated and rebuilt the next day’s schedule to make it up. Four stars only because the Dehradun hotel on night one was the weakest link.

Vivek AgarwalMumbai · Char Dham by Helicopter · May 2026 Verified traveller

Solo woman traveller and I was honestly nervous. They put me with a small group of other solo pilgrims and a guide who checked in without hovering. Guptkashi hotel was clean and warm, food was simple and good. Going back for Badrinath next season.

Questions

Everything people ask first.

Travel in May or September–October. May (8–22°C) gives you blooming rhododendrons, clear skies and smooth trekking conditions. September–October delivers post-monsoon crystal visibility, fewer crowds, and vivid autumn colours on the Kedarnath descent. Avoid July–August — the monsoon causes landslides on both the Kedarnath and Gangotri routes. The 2026 season opens April 19 (Yamunotri and Gangotri), April 22 (Kedarnath), and April 23 (Badrinath).

Start here

The 2026 season runs April 19 to November 13. May and September fill first.
