Get Official 2026 Price Quote!
The Chardham Yatra Tour Package is a 12-day Char Dham yatra tour that takes you to all four holy dhams of Uttarakhand, sit high in the Himalayas and are considered among the most spiritually important places in Hinduism. In 2025 alone, 46 lakh (4.6 million) devotees visited the Char Dham and by just July 28 of that year, the yatra had already welcomed over 41 lakh pilgrims, breaking all previous records.
At Chardham Package, we have been organising this yatra since 1995. That is over 30 years of walking this route with our guests, not just as a travel agency, but as a fellow pilgrim who knows every road, every temple timing, every seasonal challenge, and every prayer that matters on this yatra. We are based right here in Haridwar, at the very gateway of the Char Dham, so when you travel with us, you get real-time, on-ground support that no faraway travel company can offer you.
Our 12-day 4 Dham Yatra Package is thoughtfully designed for both first-time pilgrims and seasoned yatris. It covers everything from your Delhi pickup to Ganga Aarti at Haridwar, from the Yamunotri trek to the grand evening aarti at Badrinath. All hotels, meals, transport, biometric registration, and yatra e-pass assistance are taken care of, so you can focus entirely on your prayers.
Starting at just ₹24,999 per person, this is one of the most complete and trusted 4 Dham Yatra tour package available in 2026.
The Four Dhams — What Makes Each One Special
Yamunotri: Source of the Yamuna River
3,293 MetresYamunotri is the first and westernmost Dham, sitting at 3,293 metres in the Garhwal mountains as the traditional starting point of the entire Chardham circuit.
Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, the daughter of the Sun God (Surya Dev) and twin sister of Yama (the God of Death), this temple holds a divine boon ensuring that anyone who completes the 6 km trek from Janki Chatti and bathes in its holy waters is cleansed of all past sins and protected from untimely death.
The spiritual energy here centers around Divya Shila, a rock pillar where pilgrims offer prayers before entering the temple, and Surya Kund, a boiling natural hot spring where devotees boil rice and potatoes in muslin cloths as a divine offering.
Rich with ancient history, this valley is also where the waters of Maa Ganga miraculously manifested for the aging sage Asit Muni, combining the cosmic blessings of India’s two most sacred rivers to completely purify a pilgrim’s body and soul.
Gangotri: Birthplace of the Ganga
3,048 MetresGangotri sits at 3,048 metres and is dedicated to Goddess Ganga. This is where King Bhagirath meditated for years to bring the Ganga from the heavens to earth to liberate his ancestors.
The Bhagirathi River flows right beside the temple, and the drive through Harsil Valley en route is one of the most beautiful drives in all of India.
Historically, the Gangotri Glacier, which is the largest glacier in the Garhwal Himalayas spanning 30 km in length, once extended all the way down to the front of the ancient Gangotri Temple itself.
Over centuries of natural climate shifts, the glacier snout has steadily receded deep into the mountains. Today, this sacred icy source, known as Gaumukh, is located 18 km further from Gangotri for those who wish to trek.
Kedarnath: The Jyotirlinga
in the Mountains
3,584 Metres
Kedarnath at 3,584 metres is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and the most physically demanding Dham of the four.
The 16 km trek from Gaurikund through the mountain terrain is an experience in itself, spiritually intense and physically rewarding.
The ancient stone temple, believed to be over 1,000 years old, stands tall against the backdrop of the Kedarnath and Kedar Dome peaks.
Night stay at Kedarnath is a rare and profoundly unforgettable experience.
Badrinath: The Home
of Lord Vishnu
3,133 Metres
Badrinath at 3,133 metres is the final and most accessible Dham, dedicated to Lord Badrivishal, a form of Lord Vishnu.
The colourful temple is open to all pilgrims and offers a direct road connection, making it the most visited of the four Dhams.
The natural hot water spring of Tapt Kund just outside the temple is used for a holy dip before Darshan.
Nearby Mana Village, the last Indian village before the Tibet border, adds a unique historical and spiritual dimension to your visit.

Char Dham Yatra FAQs 2026
What is the price of the 4 Dham Yatra Package in 2026?
Our 2026 Chardham Yatra Package starts at ₹24,999 per person. The final price may vary depending on the type of vehicle selected, the number of travellers, your starting city, and any customisations or add-ons like helicopter services or VIP Darshan. Contact us for a free, personalised quote.
What is Biometric Registration for Chardham Yatra 2026 and is it mandatory?
Yes, Biometric Registration and the Yatra E-Pass are mandatory for 4 Dham Yatra 2026, as per the Government of Uttarakhand's regulations. This is required to manage pilgrim flow and ensure safety on the high-altitude routes. Our team provides full assistance with this process — you do not need to handle it alone.
What is the best time to do the Chardham Yatra in 2026?
The best time for Chardham Yatra 2026 is from May to June and again from September to November, after the monsoon season. The Chardham temples typically open in late April or early May and close around Diwali time in October or November. We recommend avoiding the peak monsoon months of July and August due to the risk of landslides and road closures.
How many people are in a group for the Chardham Yatra Tour Package?
We offer both group packages and fully customised private Char Dham tour packages. In a standard group package, vehicles are typically shared between 6 to 12 pilgrims. If you prefer a private vehicle for your family or a small group, we offer customised 4 Dham Yatra packages at adjusted pricing.
What should I pack for the Chardham Yatra?
For your Char Dham Tour, carry warm woolen clothes (especially for Kedarnath and Badrinath where temperatures can drop below 5°C at night), comfortable waterproof trekking shoes, personal medicines, a walking stick for treks, rainproof jacket, sunscreen, valid government ID, and some cash for on-site expenses like pooja, pony, and donations. Our team shares a detailed packing list after you confirm your booking.
When does the Chardham Yatra start in 2026?
The official Chardham Yatra Tour circuit opened on April 19, 2026, which marked the special day of Akshaya Tritiya. The specific temple-wise opening dates for this season were:
| Dham | Opening Date |
|---|---|
| Yamunotri Dham | Opened on April 19, 2026 |
| Gangotri Dham | Opened on April 19, 2026 |
| Kedarnath Dham | Opened on April 22, 2026 |
| Badrinath Dham | Opened on April 23, 2026 |
What types of restaurants and food options are available during the yatra?
Along the entire Chardham route, you will find clean local eateries, dhabas, and hotel restaurants serving fresh, 100% vegetarian food. Because this is a deeply holy yatra, meat and alcohol are strictly prohibited on the route. When you book our chardham tour package, we include daily, freshly prepared 100% vegetarian breakfast and dinner at handpicked, hygienic hotels so your health and dietary preferences are fully protected.
What is the spiritual importance of the Chardham Yatra for Hindus?
In Hindu tradition, embarking on a char dham tour is considered a vital spiritual milestone. While India features the Badi Chardham across four corners of the nation (Puri, Dwarka, Rameshwaram, and Badrinath), Uttarakhand’s Himalayan circuit, including Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, holds supreme spiritual significance. It is widely believed that navigating these high-altitude shrines purifies the soul, washes away past sins, and opens the path toward ultimate spiritual liberation (Moksha).
Which mobile network works best during the Chardham Yatra?
BSNL and Jio have the widest coverage on the Chardham route, though signal strength may vary in remote areas. In places like Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, connectivity is limited regardless of your network provider. We recommend downloading offline maps before you start, saving all important numbers, including our Haridwar support line, and carrying a fully charged power bank. Do not rely on mobile internet for navigation in the mountains.
How do I register for the Chardham Yatra 2026 online? Is it free?
Chardham Yatra registration is completely free for both online and offline modes, and no fee is charged for the e-pass either. You can register through the official government portal at registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in, or by downloading the Tourist Care Uttarakhand app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. When you book your Chardham Yatra package with us, our team provides complete, free assistance with the registration process — you do not need to navigate it alone.
What are the emergency helpline numbers for Chardham Yatra 2026?
Every pilgrim should save these numbers before starting the yatra, these are official emergency contacts for the Chardham route:
| Service | Contact Number |
|---|---|
| Uttarakhand Tourism Helpline | 1364 |
| Police Emergency | 112 |
| Ambulance | 108 |

| Uttarakhand Disaster Management | 1070 |
| AIIMS Rishikesh | 0135-2462936 |
| BRO Road Status | 0135-2751787 |
