Highlights

  • Kedarnath is in the most dramatic location of the Char Dham Temples, located at the base of 6970m peaks and 22km from the nearest road. The Puja offered inside, especially around the stone 'hump', is fervent and can be quite intense. The site is so auspicious that pilgrims used to throw themselves from one of the cliffs behind the temple in the hope of instantly attaining moksha (liberation from samsara).
  • Badrinath, in a superb setting below the sacred, snow-topped pyramid-shaped peak of Nilkantha, holy to Lord Vishnu. Vividly painted, this is the most easily accessible and popular of the char dham temples. It was founded by G .... Read More

Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival at Dehradun. Transfers to Barkot

Upon arrival at Dehradun Airport, you shall be picked up in your exclusive vehicle and transferred to Barkot. Situated at an elevation of 1,220m above sea level, Barkot is one of the popular destinations in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. We drive via Mussoorie and enroute visit Kempty Falls (we suggest to have lunch near Kempty Falls, as you will not find any good restaurants further up until Barkot). Upon arrival, check-in to your hotel & relax, as you view the magnificent peak of Banderpoonch and other massive peaks of the Himalayan Range

Day 2

Barkot-Yamunotri-Barkot[GT]

Today, we start early and drive to Jankichatti. The trek starts from Jankichatti & from here you can either walk, take a horse or a Dholi (at own cost). Trek your way through white snow, dense forests, wild flora and fauna, and fascinating streams and lakes. The snow-clad Himalayas surrounds you as you move forward. Though the distance isn’t difficult it does contain some steeps and can be tiring. However, once you reach Yamunotri and take in the mesmerizing scene around you, you’ll feel extremely content and peaceful. Attend the Puja Ceremony, have lunch and explore the area. Later, trek back to Jankichatti & return to Barkot for overnight stay.

Day 3

Barkot to Uttarkashi

After breakfast, proceed to Uttarkashi. The melodies of spiritual aartis and the chime of temple bells echo through the surrounding valleys as you move along the pilgrim town of Uttarkashi, nestling amidst the Himalayan foothills. With numerous Temples and Ashrams strewn about, Uttarkashi is a city engulfed in spirituality. Situated on the banks of the River Bhagirathi, this hilly abode of gods is named after the ancient holy city Kashi. Today, visit Vishwanath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, which is one of the oldest shrines of Uttarkashi. Also visit Kuteti Devi Temple and the Bhairav Temple along with several Ashrams and Dharamshalas around the city.

The ancient Vishwanath Temple, Ardhnareshwar Temple and Manikarnik Kund, where the two Rivers of Ganga and Yamuna are believed to meet, are the main places of attraction in Guptkashi.

Day 6

Guptkashi to Kedarnath

Early Morning, you will be dropped at Sonprayag, from where you will have to take local Jeeps (at own cost) to Gaurikund. It is from here that the trek starts to Kedarnath. The old trek route, which was just 14km, with nicely built pavement with fences, many shelters, shops and public conveniences was extremely safe, easy and with beautiful views of Valleys, Jungles and Waterfalls; but after the disastrous flood in Kedarnath region during 2013, the old route was completely washed away, with no scope of repairs or reconstruction. We shall take the new trek route via Linchauli to reach Kedarnath. Take in the mindblowing views on the trek; darshan at Kedarnath & later stay overinght in Kedarnath.

On arrival, you could explore interesting spots like Mana, Vyas Gufa, Maatamoorti, Charanpaduka, Bhimkund, and the ‘Mukh’ of the Saraswati River.  Mana Village: Inhabited by an Indo-Mongolian tribe, it is the last Indian village before Tibet.  Vasundhara: As the name suggests, Vasundhara is a magnificent waterfall. This place is 5 km. from Badrinath out of which 2 km. is motorable upto Mana.  Bhim Pul: On the other side of Mana village, a massive rock forming a natural bridge, lies over the roaring Saraswati River. It presents a spectacular view of water thundering down through the narrow passage under the rock and is believed to have been placed there by Bhim, the second eldest among the five Pandava brothers.  Vyas Gufa (Cave): Near Mana Village, this is a rock-cave where Ved Vyas is believed to have composed the Mahabharata and the pauranic commentaries.
