7 nights, 8 days Do Dham Tour Kedarnath - Badrinath Ex Delhi
The Do Dham Tour Kedar Badri is a pilgrimage to the two important Hindu shrines in Uttarakhand, India – Kedarnath and Badrinath. The journey typically starts from Haridwar, which is a major pilgrimage site in itself.
From Haridwar, the journey involves traveling by road to the town of Guptkashi, which serves as a base for visiting Kedarnath. The trek to Kedarnath involves a 14-km uphill walk, or one can hire a horse or a palanquin to reach the temple. The Kedarnath temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is situated at an altitude of 3,583 meters in the Himalayan range.
After visiting Kedarnath, the yatra proceeds towards the town of Joshimath, which is the base for visiting Badrinath. Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is one of the four major Char Dham pilgrimage sites in India. The temple is located at an altitude of 3,133 meters and is believed to have been established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century.
The journey from Kedarnath to Badrinath involves traveling through scenic routes and crossing the holy river Alaknanda. After visiting Badrinath, the Tour concludes back in Haridwar.
The entire Do Dham Tour Kedar Badri pilgrimage is steeped in religious significance and attracts thousands of devotees every year. The duration of the pilgrimage and the specific itinerary can vary depending on the mode of transportation, accommodation, and other factors.

Itinerary
Arrival Delhi & transfer to Haridwar (260Km/05-06Hrs)
Meet our assistant or Chauffer on arrival in Delhi as per your predefined schedule and further proceed to Haridwar. Upon arrival, check into your hotel, and further you can proceed to Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pouri on your own, if possible, with available time and conditions. The driver who picked you up from Delhi will not be available today for further drop and pick up or for Yatra. Here, Har Ki Pouri is the centre point of Haridwar, and there are several local means of transport available for this sight. We’ll keep you free to explore Haridwar and the edge of the Ganges.
- Possible Sightseeing: Evening Aarti at Har Ki Pauri
- Distance Covered: 260 Kms / 05-06 Hrs
- Meals: Dinner
- Stay: Haridwar
Haridwar – Guptkashi-Phata -Sitapur (200 Kms/07 hrs). O/N Stay in Guptkashi/Sitapur:
The package inclusions start from Haridwar or Dehradun. We usually assume that you have pre-booked arrangements for night stay in Haridwar. However, if you want us to arrange your accommodation then you can make a request to our coordinator. You can also enjoy an early morning bathing in Ganga before departure from Haridwar.
Leave early in the morning after breakfast for an almost day-long drive to Sitapur via Guptkashi. Overnight stay in the hotel at Sitapur Or Guptkashi. Sometimes it takes more than 10hrs if some traffic congestion is there. Upon reaching Sitapur or Rampur Or Guptkashi we will take rest. Night stay in hotel.
- Possible Sightseeing: Devprayag
- Distance Covered: 200 Kms / 07 Hrs
- Meals: Dinner Only
- Stay: Guptkashi / Sitapur
Sitapur/Phata/Sirsi – Kedarnath –Phata/Sersi/Sitapur – Fly or Trek – O/N Stay in Sitapur Or Kedarnath (21Kms Trek):
Here is the day when you are preparing for the Chardham Yatra’s most rewarding but toughest part “The Darshan of Shri Kedarnath Ji”. Here many pilgrims have their own choices and preferences as per their physical ability and comfort. We have designed the program for both of the pilgrims who prefer to trek or want to complete the journey by air.
Note: Now the trekking to Kedarnath Ji has been increased by 05 Kms and visitors are advised to make night stay in case of trekking. We would advise those who are not physically strong to not cover this trek on foot , instead they should hire some assistance like Pony or Pithus to complete the Yatra without any hassle or complication.
Note: The road from Rudraprayag to Guptkashi Or Phata is good for small or light vehicles but onward road to Gaurikund is in bad condition , the 14 km old trek route along the river Mandakini from Gaurikund to Rambara and then to Sri Kedarnath is washed away at many places and a new trek is approx. 19 km long climbing up to 13000 ft. and then coming down to Sri Kedarnath at 11760 ft. , it is not possible to travel this distance in one day so one night stop will be required. Nowadays, the Govt. has facilitated with many basic arrangements like Wi-fi and other health camps to serve in a better way and also allow the pilgrims to have a night stay at Sri Kedarnath. It is seen in recent years that many trekkers have made their return the same day from Gaurikund-Kedarnath-Gaurikund but they were physically fit and strong enough to cover this distance in the same day by trek. Now pilgrims are getting a new opportunity to see BHIM SHILA-a new mythological attraction, a giant stone protected Kedarnath Ji Temple during disaster time.
Highly important to note & understand:
We need to understand that Kedarnath Ji Yatra in the Chardham sector is most important for pilgrims who are visiting anytime during summer or winters. The Kedarnath region is unpredictable in terms of weather turbulence in trek or flying or even technical snag or operation restraints in flying also becomes sometimes a major reason for delay in completing Journey of Kedarnath Ji. There are also unforeseen reasons and further it can disturb your schedule if you are fixed with your further pre- reserved program. So we should always choose or opt for a buffer day in hand to stay in this region (03 Nights in Sitapur Or Rampur Or Phata Or Guptkashi Including a night in Kedarnathji in case or optional). Please don’t set any hectic program or itinerary suggested by any agent which is recommending only 02 nights in Sitapur or Kedarnath Ji Sector. Being an experienced one in Chardham Yatra service provider, we can recommend you these important options to choose with your program and accordingly you can convince your co-passengers or associates.
Rituals & Activities: Visit GauriKund, Darshan of Kedarnath Ji Temple, BhimShila and Chance to meet Gurus and Sadhus meditating for a long time in Kedarnath.
- Possible Sightseeing: Kedarnath
- Distance Covered: 21 Kms Trek / 08-09 Hrs
- Meals: Breakfast & Dinner
- Stay: Kedarnath
Trekking down to Sitapur Or Guptkashi from Kedarnath Via Gaurikund & SonPrayag. Night Stay in Sitapur Or Guptkashi. (21 Kms Trek)
Trek down from Kedarnath to Gaurikund & Sonprayag and transfer to Sitapur Or Guptkashi.
On this day, we will stay in Sitapur to keep a buffer time in hand to handle any last moment delay because of bad weather or any technical or medical reason. This is the best way to arrange an itinerary or program for both trekkers and flyers to Shri Kedarnath Ji. In lack of geographical knowledge and climate conditions of this divine land some passengers or some travel agents or tour operators use to keep neck to neck program for 02 nights in Kedarnath Ji region and this always creates problems and they themselves use to disturb their further program. You should cover the sight-sing or Darshan of Shri Triyugi Narayan Temple (Optional and Chargeable Extra) for maximum use of this day if we stay in Sitapur.
Optional Stay in Chopta Or Ukhimath can be recommended in case we descend timely from Kedarnath Ji. But it is always recommended to be base station of Shri Kedarnath Ji this night for maximum benefits and comfort.
- Possible Sightseeing: Shri Triyugi Narayan Temple (Optional and Chargeable Extra)
- Distance Covered: 21 Kms Trek / 06-07 Hrs
- Meals: Breakfast & Dinner
- Stay: Guptkashi / Sitapur
Sitapur/Guptkashi – Transfer to Govindghat / Pipalkoti Or Badrinath for Night Stay. (196 kms/ 07 Hrs):
After a normal and comfortable wake up and breakfast we will proceed to Govindghat Via Ukhimath -Chopta-Pipalkoti-Joshimath-Govindghat. The road from Guptkashi to Chopta and then to Pipalkoti is good for small vehicles, the road from Pipalkoti and then to Joshimath is better. We will reach Govindghat in the evening and stay in Govindghat.
Why we prefer to stay in Govindghat/Pipalkoti?
The journey from Sitapur to Govindghat is long distance and bit hectic. It is always observed and experienced that passengers are always reaching Badrinathji late in the night or late evening in case we book and confine their stay in Badrinath. Managing the services timely in such conditions in Badrinath becomes extremely tricky. And it is obviously tiring and rushing when the guests are confined to return next day to another destination from Badrinath. It has always seen that the road from Govindghat to Badrinath via Lambgarh is always disturbed. We never suggest pilgrims to cross this stage in late evening.
Advantages of Keeping you Govindghat Or Pipalkoti for 02 Nights while covering to Badrinath Ji Yatra in Chardham?
Advantages of Staying in Govindghat/Pipalkoti for 2 Nights during Chardham Yatra:
Logistics and Time Management:
- Avoiding late arrival in Badrinath: By staying in Govindghat or Pipalkoti, you ensure a more relaxed early morning journey to Badrinath, reaching before sunset. This eliminates the stress of rushing through darshan and accommodation arrangements in the dark.
- Managing services efficiently: Early arrival allows ample time to settle into your Badrinath accommodation, organize temple darshan, and participate in evening aarti, all without feeling rushed or pressured.
- Avoiding the hectic Sitapur-Badrinath one go journey: The long and sometimes challenging road trip from Sitapur to Badrinath can be tiring, especially in peak season. Starting from Govindghat or Pipalkoti reduces travel time and fatigue, allowing you to focus on the pilgrimage.
Acclimatization and Safety:
- Gradual ascent: Govindghat and Pipalkoti are situated at lower altitudes than Badrinath, allowing for gradual acclimatization to the thin mountain air. This reduces the risk of altitude sickness and improves your overall enjoyment of the yatra.
- Avoiding late evening travel on the Govindghat-Badrinath road: This stretch can be prone to landslides and disruptions, especially in the evenings. By staying in Govindghat, you avoid risking late journeys on this potentially hazardous route.
Spiritual and Leisure Benefits:
- Exploring Govindghat/Pipalkoti: Both locations offer scenic beauty, spiritual sites, and cultural experiences. You can visit Hemkund Sahib Ji, Govindghat or explore the traditional markets of Pipalkoti & Joshimath.
- Relaxing breaks: Having two nights in Govindghat/Pipalkoti allows for relaxation and rejuvenation before and after the Badrinath visit. This break can enhance your overall yatra experience and prevent exhaustion.
Overall, staying in Govindghat or Pipalkoti for two nights during your Chardham Yatra offers numerous advantages in terms of logistics, safety, acclimatization, and spiritual/leisure opportunities. It allows for a more relaxed, efficient, and enjoyable pilgrimage experience.
However in an extreme choice & preferring condition of individual we can arrange stay in Badrinath but entirely on the own risk of passengers or pilgrims.

The spot was carpeted with ‘badris’ or wild berries and hence was famous as Badri van. Legend has it, when the Ganga was requested to descend to earth to help suffering humanity, the earth was unable to withstand the force of its decent. Therefore, the mighty Ganga was split into 12 holy channels. Alaknanda was one of them that later became the abode of Lord Vishnu or Badrinath.

Good Bye !
Why do travel agents or transporters or Driver charge extra for the excursions sites like Chopta-Mana-Triyugi Narayan- Neel KanthMahadev etc on Chardham ruote ?
Tourism dependants like local drivers in Chardham Yatra places in the Himalayan Mountains have limited opportunities to earn their daily livelihood. They are highly dependent on this seasonal business which hardly comes on the peak for 30 days. In this limited time, they need to work hard for their family. So, the local drivers’ associations and other small organizations supported by Uttarakhand Tourism & Travel Association (UKTTA) believe that they should have a nominal charge extra on these kinds of excursions which will be a side income other than their fixed daily wages. As a responsible tourism activist, this is also our request to our pilgrims not to panic or hesitate or be reluctant to give any nominal amount to these communities. They deserve this being real heroes of this Yatra. Admission charges for the trip are Triyugi Narayan Temple + Chopta + Mana (3500 Per Small Vehicle Till 03-04 Seated / 4500 Per Mid-Size SUV for 06-07 People/ 5500 Rs for 12 Seats and above).
