Char Dham Yatra Package 2026
from Haridwar & Delhi

The Char Dham Yatra covers four sacred Himalayan shrines in Garhwal, Uttarakhand — Yamunotri (source of the Yamuna), Gangotri (source of the Ganges), Kedarnath (Shiva's Jyotirlinga at 3,583m) and Badrinath (Vishnu's abode on the banks of the Alaknanda). Completing all four in a single circuit is called the Chhota Char Dham Yatra — the northern Hindu pilgrimage circuit established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century.

We run this circuit from Haridwar every year since 2010. Over 50,000 pilgrims have travelled with us across 15 seasons. Every package we sell is direct — no agent, no commission, no markup. When you pay ₹18,500, that money covers your vehicle, hotels, guide, meals and darshan arrangements, not a middleman's margin.

Char Dham Yatra Package Cost 2026 — Budget, Deluxe & Premium

Our Uttarakhand Char Dham yatra packages start at ₹18,500 per person (₹42,000 per couple) for a 9N/10D all-inclusive trip from Haridwar. A note on names before the prices: this circuit — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — is formally called the Chota Char Dham, to distinguish it from Adi Shankaracharya's all-India Bada Char Dham (Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri, Rameswaram). A "chota char dham yatra package" and a "char dham yatra package uttarakhand" are the same trip; only the label changes. Choose your comfort tier:

The Story Behind the Four Dhams — Why This Pilgrimage Matters

Adi Shankaracharya, the 8th-century philosopher-monk, established the Char Dham in the 8th century CE for a specific reason: to unite India. He placed one sacred shrine at each corner of the subcontinent — Puri in the east, Dwarka in the west, Rameswaram in the south, and Badrinath in the north. The Himalayan Char Dham — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath — is the "Chhota Char Dham" (the smaller, northern circuit), but it is the one most people are referring to when they say Char Dham Yatra today.

The circuit is always done in a specific order: west to east — Yamunotri first, then Gangotri, then Kedarnath, then Badrinath. This is not arbitrary. Yamunotri and Gangotri are the sources of two of India's most sacred rivers. Kedarnath honours the form in which Lord Shiva is worshipped in the Himalayas. And Badrinath, where Lord Vishnu meditated, is where the circuit is completed — the final grace, the final absolution. Most pilgrims who complete all four describe the Badrinath darshan as carrying an emotional weight unlike anything else. It is the ending of something that began weeks earlier in a very different state of mind.

Local Experiences Along the Route You Should Not Miss

Why Choose Shiv Ganga Travels?

Most Char Dham "operators" you find online are booking desks in Delhi or Lucknow. They take your money, forward your yatra to whichever Haridwar driver has a free vehicle that week, and hope nothing goes wrong. We are the Haridwar driver. Our office is near Shantikunj Gate No. 1 — walk in and check before you pay a rupee. Our drivers have crossed Rudraprayag more times than they can count, our hotel owners in Barkot and Guptkashi hold rooms for us in peak May because we have filled them every season since 2010, and when your father calls at 10 pm from Joshimath because the altitude is bothering him, the phone is answered by someone who knows exactly which chemist is still open there.
