About this Do Dham Yatra
The two western dhams, straight from Dehradun airport
The western Do Dham — Yamunotri and Gangotri — with a pick-up at Dehradun airport, which is the closest airport to both shrines. It is the quickest, most convenient way to visit the sources of the Yamuna and the Ganga if you are flying in.
Over 5 days you travel by private vehicle with hotels, pure-veg meals, the short Yamunotri trek and full yatra registration. A gentle, scenic pilgrimage through the Yamuna and Bhagirathi valleys.

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.
