The Char Dham Yatra — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, visited in the traditional west-to-east order — is the defining pilgrimage of Uttarakhand, the Devbhoomi. This 10-day circuit from Haridwar completes all four shrines without the punishing drive schedules that spoil so many yatras: every mountain darshan day is followed by a sane night halt.
Two shrines involve walking: Yamunotri (6 km each way) and Kedarnath (16 km each way), both with pony and palki options arranged in advance. Char Dham registration is mandatory for every pilgrim at all four shrines — our team completes the formalities for your whole group before departure.
The circuit crosses 3,000 m four times, so the itinerary is built with the same altitude respect as our Adi Kailash yatras — early starts, steady pace, and an escort who knows when to slow down.
We are a private tour operator based in Pithoragarh, run by Uttarakhand locals. These are our home valleys — the season’s road conditions, the reliable kitchens, and the quiet homestays are current knowledge, not brochure copy.
