About this Senior Yatra
All four dhams at an easy pace, with a Kedarnath helicopter
Designed for elderly pilgrims, this 12-day Char Dham takes everything gently — extra rest days, shorter driving stretches, good comfortable hotels, and a Kedarnath helicopter so there is no 16 km trek. You still receive darshan at all four dhams.
Ponies and palki are arranged at Yamunotri, the pace is unhurried, and our team keeps a caring eye throughout. Meals, transport, the Kedarnath helicopter and yatra registration are included, so seniors can focus purely on the pilgrimage.

Important Notes
Please read before booking
Yatra registration: Char Dham Yatra registration (the tourist card / biometric registration) is mandatory for all pilgrims. We help you complete it before your journey.
Kedarnath trek: Kedarnath involves a roughly 16–18 km uphill trek from Gaurikund. Ponies, palki (palanquin) and helicopter shuttles are available at your own cost. A basic fitness level is advised.
Best time: The shrines open around late April and close near Diwali. April–June and September–October are ideal; the July–August monsoon can bring landslides and road delays.
Altitude & weather: the higher shrines are at altitude with cold, fast-changing weather even in summer — carry warm layers year-round.
