Kedarnath & Badrinath Yatra

Kedarnath & Badrinath — Two Dham in Five Days

This package combines two of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites into a seamless five-day circuit — Kedarnath (11,755 ft) dedicated to Lord Shiva, and Badrinath (10,170 ft) dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Both are among the most sacred sites in the Hindu tradition; visiting both in a single journey is considered one of the most meritorious acts in the pilgrimage calendar. The route follows the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers through the heart of the Garhwal Himalaya — every section of road passes through landscapes that have sustained pilgrimage for two millennia.

Kedarnath

The Kedarnath Jyotirlinga temple (8th-century, attributed to Adi Shankaracharya) at 11,755 ft is accessed by a 16 km trek from Gaurikund. The temple is framed by the Kedarnath glacier and peak — a setting of wild grandeur that no photograph fully conveys. The 2013 disaster and subsequent reconstruction has made the infrastructure more robust; the trail is well-paved and well-managed.

Badrinath

Badrinath temple (10,170 ft) sits in the Alaknanda valley below Neelkantha peak (21,640 ft) — a colourful, towering structure in classical Garhwali architecture. The temple is dedicated to Vishnu in his Badri form (a meditative posture under a Badri berry tree). The Tapt Kund — a natural hot spring beside the Alaknanda — is used for ritual bathing before temple entry. Mana village, 3 km from Badrinath, is the last Indian village before the Tibet border and holds several Puranic sites (Vyas Guha, Bhim Pul, Saraswati river confluence).

Start and end point: Haridwar. From Delhi, overnight Volvo buses run to Haridwar (5–6 hours from ISBT Kashmere Gate). Our convoy departs Haridwar at 4:30 AM on Day 1. Return to Haridwar by 7–8 PM on Day 5, in time for overnight trains to Delhi (Nanda Devi Express at 11:30 PM from Haridwar).

All transport (Haridwar–Gaurikund–Badrinath–Haridwar) is arranged by us — no coordination needed on your end.
