About this Teen Dham Yatra
Three of the four dhams, when time is tight
When you cannot fit the full Char Dham, the Teen Dham covers the three most sought-after shrines — Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — leaving out only Yamunotri. It is a popular choice that still includes the Ganga's source and both the great eastern dhams.
Over 9 days you travel by private vehicle with hotels, pure-veg meals and full yatra registration. A great balance of completeness and time.

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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you book
Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — the three most-visited dhams. It leaves out only Yamunotri, which is the trek-light western shrine.
