Char Dham Yatra Package 2026: Group, Private, Do Dham & Helicopter Tours

A Char Dham Yatra package puts the whole pilgrimage to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath into one plan: vehicle, hotels, meals and a driver who knows the hill roads. Mithila Travels runs every kind of Chardham Yatra tour package each season from our Haridwar base – a shared group Char Dham Yatra package, a private car for your family, a tempo traveller for a larger group, a short Do Dham trip and helicopter tours. Many families call it a 4 Dham Yatra package. This page shows what each Char Dham Yatra package covers, how they compare, the route and how to book.

Char Dham Yatra package types for 2026

The best Char Dham Yatra package depends on group size, the oldest traveller and your days. These five 4 Dham Yatra package types are the most booked.

1. Group Char Dham Yatra package from Haridwar

Our most popular Char Dham Yatra package: you share a vehicle from Haridwar on a fixed 9-day plan with hotels, breakfast and dinner. This group 4 Dham Yatra package suits solo travellers, couples and small families. See the dates on our 9-day Char Dham group tour from Haridwar.

2. Private car Chardham Yatra tour package

In a private Chardham Yatra tour package the car and driver are only for your family. In this 4 Dham Yatra package you choose the start date, the hotel category and the car – Swift Dzire, Ertiga or Innova Crysta.

3. Tempo traveller Chardham Yatra tour package for groups

For 10 to 25 people – an extended family or a satsang group – a tempo traveller Chardham Yatra tour package keeps everyone together. We run 12, 16 and 25 seat vehicles for the full 4 Dham Yatra package route. See our tempo traveller on rent page for the vehicles.

4. Do Dham Char Dham Yatra package (Kedarnath and Badrinath)

If you have only 5–6 days, a Do Dham Char Dham Yatra package covers the two most visited shrines, Kedarnath and Badrinath, and skips Yamunotri and Gangotri, which a full 4 Dham Yatra package includes. Many pilgrims do Do Dham first and return later for the full Chardham Yatra tour package. Read more on our Do Dham Yatra guide.

5. Helicopter Chardham Yatra tour package

The helicopter Chardham Yatra tour package covers all four dhams in 5 nights / 6 days from the Sahastradhara helipad in Dehradun. DGCA-approved operators fly; we arrange the booking, hotels and transfers. Details are on our 4 Dham Yatra by helicopter page.

9-day Char Dham Yatra package itinerary

Our road Char Dham Yatra package follows the traditional order from west to east: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and then Badrinath. The whole road circuit of the 4 Dham Yatra package is about 1,250 km from Haridwar. This plan is used in every group Char Dham Yatra package and private Chardham Yatra tour package.

A 12-day 4 Dham Yatra package adds a buffer day for seniors, children or landslide delays. See the full Char Dham Yatra route map for every stop.

4 Dham Yatra package from Haridwar or from Delhi/Noida?

Both start points of a Char Dham Yatra package cover the same temples; only the days change.

Noida or Delhi to Haridwar is 200–230 km, about 5–6 hours. For seniors, a Chardham Yatra tour package from home in one vehicle means no station changes. By train, reach Haridwar, see the Ganga aarti and begin the 4 Dham Yatra package next morning. More detail is on our Char Dham Yatra from Delhi page.

What our Char Dham Yatra package includes

Every Char Dham Yatra package and Chardham Yatra tour package is built on the same base.

Our Char Dham Yatra package team will share a written list of inclusions. Ask for it before you pay for any Chardham Yatra tour package or Char Dham Yatra package.

Hotels on our 4 Dham Yatra package

Night stops on the 4 Dham Yatra package are Haridwar, Barkot, Uttarkashi, Guptkashi (or Sitapur / Phata), Kedarnath and Badrinath. For each Chardham Yatra tour package we use tested budget and standard hotels; Kedarnath has only simple rooms and camps. Rooms fill early in May and June, so book your 4 Dham Yatra package in advance.

How to choose the right Char Dham Yatra package

Five questions narrow down your Char Dham Yatra package or Chardham Yatra tour package.

• How many people? One or two people usually do best in the group Char Dham Yatra package. Four to six people usually do better with a private car Chardham Yatra tour package. Ten or more should book a tempo traveller Char Dham Yatra package.
• Who is travelling? With parents above 60, choose a private Char Dham Yatra package so you can go slowly. Plan a pony, palki or helicopter for Kedarnath on the 4 Dham Yatra package.
• How many days? 9–10 days from Haridwar for the full road Char Dham Yatra package, 11–12 for a 4 Dham Yatra package from Delhi, 5–6 days for Do Dham, 6 days by helicopter.
• What comfort level? The group 4 Dham Yatra package keeps things simple, a private Char Dham Yatra package adds flexibility, and the helicopter Chardham Yatra tour package saves the most effort.
• When? May–June is peak; late September–October is clear and quieter; avoid July–August. Read our best time for Char Dham Yatra guide.

Once you have these five answers, we can suggest the Char Dham Yatra package that fits your family.

Senior-friendly 4 Dham Yatra package options

The Kedarnath trek of about 16 km each way is the hardest part of any 4 Dham Yatra package. On a Chardham Yatra tour package, seniors have three options:

None of these are included in a road 4 Dham Yatra package or Char Dham Yatra package; they are paid separately.

Do Dham or full Char Dham Yatra package?

A Do Dham Char Dham Yatra package takes 5–6 days and covers Kedarnath (Lord Shiva) and Badrinath (Lord Vishnu). The full Char Dham Yatra package also visits Yamunotri (Goddess Yamuna) and Gangotri (Goddess Ganga) in Uttarkashi district, which adds three to four days. If time allows, the full Chardham Yatra tour package is worth it.

Helicopter Char Dham Yatra package

The helicopter Char Dham Yatra package is for pilgrims who are short of time or cannot manage long drives and treks, and it is the fastest Chardham Yatra tour package. This 4 Dham Yatra package takes six days from Dehradun, one dham a day.

Rules of this Chardham Yatra tour package: passenger weight about 75 kg, one soft bag of about 5 kg, and flights depend on weather. Compare options on our 4 Dham Yatra package helicopter page. If you only want a helicopter for Kedarnath inside a road Char Dham Yatra package, book it yourself on the official IRCTC HeliYatra site and beware of fake websites.
