Char Dham tour packages typically begin from popular starting points such as Delhi, Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun. Pilgrims need to reach one of these locations to start their sacred Char Dham Yatra. If you are traveling from another state in India, you must arrange your journey to the starting point on your own. Alternatively, you can request your chardham tour operator to organize transportation from your location to the starting point for a seamless travel experience.
By ensuring proper char dham travel arrangements in advance, you can avoid unnecessary hassles and focus entirely on your spiritual journey through the Char Dham circuit. Whether you choose to handle your travel or rely on your travel agent, planning ahead will make your char dham yatra stress-free and more fulfilling.

Hi Keep up the good work.

I am travelling alone from Bangalore, please let me know what precautions I need to take.
Will there will be heavy rain in the month of June?
Thanks so much
Yes, Its can be possible to complete Badrinath & Kedarnath darshan in 4 days from Rishikesh. You can hire taxi/ car (which should be done in advance) to reach Badrinath on Day 1, darshan at early morning and drive to Sonprayag on Day 2. Trek to Kedarnath temple on Day 3. If you are fit enough, then you can come back after darshan on Day 3 too. If any way you stay one night at Kedarnath, trek down early to Sonprayag on Day 4 and drive back to Rishikesh.
Yes Ambi, you may find rain in June due to Monsoon.
