About this Do Dham Yatra
The Ganga's source and Lord Shiva's highest Jyotirlinga
A Do Dham that pairs the serene Gangotri — source-shrine of the Ganga in the Bhagirathi valley — with the mighty Kedarnath Jyotirlinga up the Mandakini valley. It crosses two of Garhwal's most beautiful river valleys.
The Gangotri leg is gentle and trek-free; Kedarnath adds the classic 16 km climb (or pony/palki/helicopter). Hotels, pure-veg meals, transfers and yatra registration are all handled.

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.
