Where your ₹13,900 goes
You book with the operator, so there is no commission layer to hide. Every quote we send is itemised line by line — this is what it covers.
AC vehicle for the full circuit, hill-seasoned driver, fuel, tolls and driver allowance.
Named hotels near the temples, confirmed before you pay. No “similar category” surprises.
Breakfast and dinner throughout — pure veg, Jain on request.
Biometric yatra registration, green tax and parking — itemised, not sprung on you later.
Garhwali guides and a 24/7 support line for every day you are in the hills.
Our operator margin appears as its own line. You see exactly what we earn.
Booking direct with an operator typically avoids the 10–20% that commission channels add. Compare any quote line by line — we will walk you through ours.
The vehicle you travel in
Hill-seasoned drivers, fixed rates including fuel, driver and tolls. Available standalone or as part of any package.

Skip-the-line arrangements at all four dhams.
Local guides with ten-plus years on these routes.
Oxygen cylinders and first aid in every vehicle.
Line-by-line quote — green tax and parking included.

Kedarnath, 3,583 m
The final darshan of the circuit — and the reason every checklist exists.Founded by a retired Subedar Major
Dhanesh Chandra Mishra — a retired Subedar Major of the Indian Army — started Shiv Ganga Travels with a single vehicle and one conviction: that pilgrims deserved the same care and discipline the Army demands of every mission.
He’d seen what happened when families entrusted their sacred journey to operators who prioritised profit over safety. Overloaded vehicles. Substandard hotels. Missing guides. Stranded pilgrims at 3,500 metres. He decided to do it differently.
Today, every vehicle is maintained to Army safety standards. Every driver is trained for high-altitude emergencies. Every rupee is accounted for before you pay.
Punctuality, safety protocols and accountability on every trip.
Hill-trained drivers, oxygen on board, and a vehicle check before every departure.
Every package includes a line-by-line cost breakdown before you book.
“Every pilgrim who boards one of our vehicles carries faith, family, and often a lifelong dream. I treat that responsibility the same way I treated my duty in the Army — with total commitment and zero compromise.”

Everything you need to know
Before booking your yatra — answered clearly.
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).
Yes — registration is mandatory and enforced at police checkpoints. You register online at the Uttarakhand Tourism portal or in person at biometric centres in Haridwar and Rishikesh. Register before you leave home. Police turn back unregistered pilgrims at Sonprayag (Kedarnath route) and other checkpoints, even if you have driven 6 hours from Haridwar. We handle registration for all pilgrims in our packages.
Our Char Dham packages start at ₹13,900 per person for 9N/10D all-inclusive from Haridwar — that covers your vehicle, hotels, guide, meals and VIP darshan assistance at all 4 dhams. Pony and palki at Yamunotri and Kedarnath are optional extras, paid at the official rate. Note: AC is standard in plains; in hilly areas it can be availed at ₹2,000 extra. Deluxe options (Innova Crysta, 3-star hotels) run ₹30,000. The Char Dham by helicopter package is ₹2,30,000 — helicopter charter is genuinely expensive and any "helicopter package" advertised near ₹85,000 is a road package with IRCTC shuttle tickets bought separately. All prices are direct — no agent commission, no hidden charges.
The circuit follows a clockwise direction: Haridwar → Barkot → Yamunotri (Day 3) → Uttarkashi → Gangotri (Day 5) → Guptkashi → Kedarnath (Day 7) → Rudraprayag → Badrinath (Day 9-10) → return to Haridwar (Day 11). Total road distance: approximately 1,100km. Yamunotri requires a 6km trek from Janki Chatti. Kedarnath requires a 16km trek from Gaurikund. Gangotri and Badrinath are fully motorable.
Yes — with the right package and planning. We run a dedicated Senior Citizen Char Dham package (12N/13D) that includes pony charges at Yamunotri, pony or palki at Kedarnath on request (an optional extra at the official rate), ground-floor hotel rooms, an extra acclimatisation day before Kedarnath, and oxygen cylinders in every vehicle. Our drivers and guides are trained for altitude-related health situations.
You need to be able to walk 6km uphill (Yamunotri) and 16km (Kedarnath). Badrinath and Gangotri are fully motorable — no trekking required. For Kedarnath, pony (₹3,000–4,500 one way) and helicopter (from ₹3,043 one way via IRCTC) are available as alternatives. Most pilgrims aged 18–70 with no serious cardiac or respiratory conditions complete the Kedarnath trek without assistance. Carry a medical fitness certificate if you are 55 or older or have any pre-existing condition.
WhatsApp us at +91-7817996730 with your preferred dates, group size, and city. We send a detailed custom itinerary with exact pricing within 2 hours. A 25% advance payment secures your booking and holds your hotel and darshan slots. We accept UPI, bank transfer and major cards. No booking fee, no processing charge.
Yes. Our Char Dham by helicopter package covers all 4 dhams in 5N/6D from Dehradun (Sahastradhara Helipad). Helicopters land at dedicated helipads near each temple: Kharsali (Yamunotri, 1km walk), Harsil (Gangotri, 25km road), Phata or Sersi (Kedarnath, VIP darshan), Badrinath (adjacent to temple). Package price: ₹2,30,000 per person all-inclusive, with the charter flown by a DGCA-approved third-party operator. Note the distinction: this is a full charter. Kedarnath shuttle seats booked individually are a separate product and are sold only on the IRCTC HeliYatra portal.
