Regular UPSRTC and Uttarakhand Roadways buses operate from Delhi ISBT Kashmiri Gate and Anand Vihar. You can also hire a private cab or taxi directly from Delhi or any nearby city to Haridwar for a comfortable start to your Chardham Yatra package from Haridwar.

Trains like the Jan Shatabdi Express, Mussoorie Express, and Dehradun Express run frequently. Rishikesh Railway Station, 24 km from Haridwar, is another nearby option.

Key Places to Visit in the Chardham Yatra from Haridwar

1. Haridwar — The Gateway to the Gods

Har Ki Pauri, Mansa Devi Temple (by ropeway), Chandi Devi Temple, Daksha Mahadev Temple, Maya Devi Temple (one of the Shakti Peethas), and the evening Ganga Aarti. Haridwar is a powerful pilgrimage destination in itself — begin your Yatra here with divine blessings.

2. Yamunotri — Origin of the Holy Yamuna

The first of the four Dhams, Yamunotri Temple is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna and sits at 3,291 m altitude. The hot water springs of Surya Kund and Janki Bai Ki Kothi are key attractions. Pilgrims cook rice in Surya Kund to offer as prasad — a unique tradition of this Dham.

3. Gangotri — Origin of the Sacred Ganges

Gangotri Temple stands at 3,100 m beside the Bhagirathi River. The Gangotri Glacier (Gaumukh) — 19 km from the temple — is the actual source of the Ganges. The surroundings, including the Harsil Valley, are extraordinarily beautiful and serene.

4. Kedarnath — The Supreme Jyotirlinga

At 3,580 m, Kedarnath is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and among the most revered shrines of Lord Shiva. The ancient stone temple, believed to have been built by the Pandavas, survived the devastating 2013 floods miraculously. The 17 km trek from Gaurikund is challenging but deeply rewarding.

5. Badrinath — Abode of Lord Vishnu

The final Dham, Badrinath Temple is dedicated to Lord Badrinarayan (Vishnu) and stands at 3,133 m against the Neelkanth Peak. The Tapt Kund hot spring outside the temple is where pilgrims bathe before Darshan. Mana Village, 3 km away, is a trove of mythology.

6. Guptkashi — The Hidden Kashi

A stop often underrated, Guptkashi houses the Vishwanath Temple and Ardhanareeshwara Temple connected to Pandava mythology. The Manikarnika Kund here is sacred for ancestor rites, and the views of snow-capped Himalayan peaks are stunning.

7. Uttarkashi — Gateway to Gangotri

Uttarkashi is the administrative capital of its district, situated on the banks of the Bhagirathi River. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Shakti Temple here are major attractions. The town serves as a comfortable overnight base for Gangotri Darshan.

8. Devprayag — Birthplace of the Ganges

At the confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers, Devprayag is where the holy river Ganga is officially born. The Raghunath Temple here is sacred, and the sight of the two rivers meeting — one greenish, one milky — is a natural marvel.

Travel Tips for Chardham Yatra from Haridwar 2026

Book your Chardham Yatra package from Haridwar at least 2–3 months in advance for the peak season (May–June).
Carry heavy woolens regardless of when you travel — temperatures at Kedarnath and Badrinath drop sharply, even in May.
Wear comfortable, sturdy trekking shoes — especially for the Kedarnath trek (17 km each way from Gaurikund).
Get a medical check-up before travelling if you are a senior citizen or have high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, or heart conditions. Altitude sickness is real.
Carry basic medicines: altitude sickness tablets (Diamox), antacids, pain relief, and any personal prescription medicines.
Stay hydrated and eat light — avoid heavy meals during the high-altitude sections of the Yatra.
Carry adequate cash as ATM access is limited in remote areas like Kedarnath and Badrinath.
Keep your Aadhaar Card / Passport / valid ID proof handy — required for registration at Chardham checkpoints.
Avoid visiting Kedarnath or Badrinath during monsoon months (July–August) due to severe landslide risk.
For senior citizens and differently-abled pilgrims, helicopter services are available for Kedarnath on request. Book in advance as seats fill quickly.
Register for the Chardham Yatra biometric registration at registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in before departure.

Accommodation at Each Chardham — What to Expect

Barkot (Yamunotri Base)

Barkot offers comfortable mid-range hotels and GMVN lodges. It is a pleasant Himalayan town with clean accommodation, good food, and a relaxed atmosphere — ideal for resting before the Yamunotri trek.

Uttarkashi (Gangotri Base)

Uttarkashi has the widest range of accommodation for the Gangotri segment — from budget dharamshalas to well-equipped hotels with all amenities. The town has better infrastructure than most other Dham bases.

Guptkashi / Sonprayag (Kedarnath Base)

Good mid-range hotels are available in Guptkashi and Sonprayag. These towns serve as the base before the Kedarnath trek and offer warm meals, clean rooms, and the necessary rest before a very early morning start.

Kedarnath

Accommodation at Kedarnath itself is limited to GMVN tents, camps, and basic guesthouses. These are perfectly adequate for a one-night spiritual stay. Note: meals at Kedarnath are at local dhabas, as catering teams cannot operate at that altitude.

Badrinath

Badrinath has the best accommodation infrastructure of all four Dhams. Good-quality hotels, GMVN lodges, and even comfortable guesthouses with all amenities are available. Pre-booking is essential in peak season (May–June).
