The trip

Overview

The complete Char Dham circuit — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — run the way regular yatris ask for it: short driving days, stays within walking distance of the ghats where possible, and a road team that has done this route every season for two decades. We handle darshan queues, pony and palki bookings, and the Kedarnath trek logistics so families and older travellers can keep to the schedule without stress.
