Rain Gear: Poncho or Raincoat: Always carry a raincoat or a poncho in case of unexpected rain, as the weather can be unpredictable. 6. Modesty and Cultural Respect: Dress Modestly: Since you will be visiting sacred temples, it's important to wear respectful, modest clothing (long pants, covered arms, and no revealing outfits).

The Char Dham Yatra experiences heavy footfall during peak seasons, especially in May–June (summer). During these months, thousands of devotees visit daily, leading to long queues, traffic congestion, and limited availability of accommodation and transport.

Once you complete Yamunotri, Gangotri & Kedarnath, our next and final destination would be Badrinath Dham. To Badrinath Here's the route map from Sonprayag, Kedarnath: Kedarnath - Gaurikund - Sonprayag - Guptkashi - Rudraprayag - Gauchar - Karnaprayag - Joshimath - Badrinath Here's the direct route map from Haridwar or Rishikesh: Haridwar - Rishikesh - Devprayag - Srinagar - Rudraprayag - Gauchar - Karnaprayag - Joshimath - Badrinath The Badrinath road from Haridwar and Rishikesh is a National highway. Majority of the route is a four-lane highway road. Only few stretches majorly after Srinagar is a two lane road. Joshimath is the biggest town on the Badrinath route. We highly recommend you to plan your stay in Joshimath or Badrinath (or somewhere between the stretch) due to two major factors - proximity to temple which saves time and availability and variety of hotel/homestay options. Keep in mind that closer you are to destination or tourist hotspot, higher the prices of available hotels. Direct public transport from Sonprayag or Guptkashi to Badrinath is not available but you can easily get a local shared taxi from Rudraprayag to Joshimath and Badrinath. As mentioned earlier, shared local taxis are the most frequent mode of public transport.

Dehradun, Haridwar and Rishikesh are the nearest railway stations in the moment but the railway connectivity is reaching Rudraprayag soon is under construction.

Each shrine holds unique religious importance: Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna River; Gangotri is the origin of the Bhagirathi River which eventually becomes River Ganga at Devprayag; Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is also part of Panch Kedar circuit; and Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

Acclimatization is crucial due to high altitudes. Stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity initially, and be aware of symptoms of altitude sickness. Devotees with prior medical history are advised to disclose the same during registration for the yatra and preferably get a doctor NOC and suggestion before undertaking the Chardham Yatra.

Pilgrims are encouraged to check ahead for any special schedule changes during these times. Opening and Closing Dates: The Chardham temples are open from April/May to October/November and closed during the winter months.

Yes, you can opt for Do Dham Yatra (Kedarnath & Badrinath) or only Kedarnath Yatra.

First reach Yamunotri, check our prior question for the details regarding reaching Barkot. To Gangotri Here's the route map from Barkot or Janki Chatti: Yamunotri - Dharasu - Uttarkashi - Gangnani - Harshil - Gangotri Here's the direct route map from Dehradun or Rishikesh: Dehradun - Mussoorie - Chinyalisour - Dharasu Band - Uttarkashi - Gangnani - Harshil - Gangotri Rishikesh - Chamba bypass - Chinyalisour - Dharasu Band - Uttarkashi - Harshil - Gangotri The Dehradun-Mussoorie route is a good two lane road till Chinyalisour (and merges with four lane highway till Uttarkashi) and is shorter in distance and time. The Rishikesh-Chamba bypass is a four lane road till Uttarkashi. You can choose to stay in Uttarkashi (the district centre town) which has stay options of almost all range. Or you can also choose to stay along the way in small hill-stations like Barsu, Raithal, Harshil, Mukhwa to name a few. While almost everyone will suggest Uttarkashi as your stop during this leg of the Yatra, we suggest otherwise. We suggest to cover as much distance while traveling to Gangotri and opt for stays near Gangotri rather than Uttarkashi, Why? Because it helps you beat the early morning traffic and gives you more time in the temple. Direct public transport from Barkot to Gangotri is minimum at best and you will have to travel to Uttarkashi first and take further transport from there. As mentioned earlier, shared local taxis are the most frequent mode of public transport. You can easily avail a shared local taxi from Uttarkashi to Gangotri or Harshil or nearby. Distance between Janki Chatti, Yamunotri & Gangotri: Approx. 220 km Distance between Barkot & Gangotri: Approx. 180 Km Distance between Barkot & Uttarkashi: Approx. 83 Km Distance between Uttarkashi & Gangotri: Approx. 98 Km Distance between Harshil & Gangotri: Approx. 26 Km You don't have to trek to reach Gangotri temple.

Typically, the sequence starts with: 1. Yamunotri (origin of the Yamuna River), 2. Gangotri (origin of the Bhagirathi River which laters morphs in the holy Ganga at Devprayag), 3. Kedarnath (Lord Shiva temple), and 4. ends with Badrinath (a Vishnu temple, also a part of national Chardham across India). Why This Sequence? This order is established by geographical conditions, each site's altitude, and the temples' spiritual value. This isn't only tradition; it adheres to the natural flow of rivers and the region's geography, with Yamunotri at the lowest elevation. Pilgrims normally begin here, then travel to Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath, the highest destination. While others prefer to begin at Badrinath, the classical order allows for a steady elevation, which improves the spiritual journey across these sacred temples. The sequence combines geography, religion, and tradition. Previously, it was also believed that this sequence represented pilgrims' movements to follow seasonal changes and Hindu rituals of honoring different deities in a cycle. Moving from west to east "honors the journey of life," beginning with the origins of the Yamuna and Ganga.

Acclimatize: If possible, spend time at a mid-altitude point (like Rishikesh or Haridwar) before heading to the higher temples to help your body adjust.
