You’ll be talking to Himanshu, the founder — not a call centre.

For most families the Do Dham — Kedarnath and Badrinath together — is the yatra: the Jyotirlinga and the Vishnu Dham in a single week, without the twelve days the full Char Dham circuit demands.

Our 6-day itinerary keeps the golden rule of mountain yatras: a darshan day is never also a long driving day. The Kedarnath trek gets a full day each way, and Badrinath gets an unhurried evening and morning. Char Dham registration is mandatory for both shrines — our team completes it for you before you travel.

We are a private tour operator based in Pithoragarh, run by Uttarakhand locals — these valleys are the roads we drive all season, every season.
