4 Dham

Embark on one of India’s most sacred and spiritually uplifting journeys through the revered Chota Char Dham of Uttarakhand, covering Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. This 10–12 day pilgrimage offers a divine blend of faith, nature, adventure, and Himalayan serenity. From the sacred origins of the Yamuna and Ganga rivers to the majestic Kedarnath temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, and finally the holy abode of Lord Vishnu at Badrinath — experience the spiritual essence and breathtaking beauty of the Garhwal Himalayas in one unforgettable journey.

Your sacred journey begins upon arrival in Haridwar or Rishikesh, the gateway to the Chota Char Dham. After check-in, visit iconic spiritual landmarks such as Har Ki Pauri, Mansa Devi Temple, and the ghats along the Ganga. In the evening, witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti — a soul-stirring experience by the riverbank. Overnight stay in Haridwar / Rishikesh.
After breakfast, drive to Barkot (approx. 7–8 hours), the base for your Yamunotri visit. Enjoy the scenic route with views of hills, valleys, and river streams. On arrival, check into your hotel and relax, preparing for the trek to Yamunotri the next day. Overnight stay in Barkot.
Early morning, drive to Janki Chatti and begin your 5 km trek (on foot, pony, or palanquin) to Yamunotri, the sacred source of the Yamuna River. Offer prayers at the Yamunotri Temple and take a dip in the hot springs nearby. Return trek to Janki Chatti, then drive back to Barkot. Overnight stay in Barkot.
After breakfast, proceed to Uttarkashi (approx. 5–6 hours), known for its temples and ashrams. En route, enjoy the views of the Bhagirathi River. On arrival, check into your hotel. If time permits, visit the Vishwanath Temple in Uttarkashi. Overnight stay in Uttarkashi.
Early morning, drive to Gangotri (approx. 100 km / 3–4 hours). Visit the revered Gangotri Temple, dedicated to Goddess Ganga, and take a holy dip in the Bhagirathi River. Enjoy the serene Himalayan landscapes before returning to Uttarkashi for an overnight stay.
The Chota Char Dham Yatra is a revered pilgrimage circuit in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, covering four sacred shrines — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. These temples hold deep spiritual significance in Hinduism and attract devotees from across India and the world.
A 10–12 day itinerary is ideal to cover all four shrines comfortably while allowing time for travel, trekking, and darshan. Pilgrims with time constraints may choose shorter routes or helicopter services to complete the yatra faster.
The yatra season typically runs from late April/early May to October, depending on weather and temple openings. The best months for pleasant weather and safer travel are May–June and September–October. Monsoon months (July–August) are generally avoided due to landslides and heavy rains.
Yes, but the Chota Char Dham involves high-altitude travel and in some cases trekking (e.g., Kedarnath – 16–18 km). Families with elders or children should plan with proper acclimatization, take necessary health precautions, and consider pony, palanquin, or helicopter options for difficult stretches.
A typical package includes comfortable transport (Tempo Traveller, bus, or car), hotel/lodge accommodation, meals, sightseeing, and assistance for darshan. Optional services like pony rides, palanquins, helicopter tickets, or dedicated guides can be added as per preference.
