Yamunotri Dham
Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, Yamunotri is traditionally the first shrine visited on the Chardham circuit. Pilgrims continue from the road head towards the temple using the permitted walking or local assistance options.
Embark on the Divine Chardham Yatra from Delhi
The Chardham Yatra is one of India’s most revered pilgrimages. It connects four sacred Himalayan shrines—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath—across the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The journey brings together faith, mountain landscapes, ancient temples and the experience of travelling through some of North India’s most dramatic terrain.
Delhi is a practical starting point for pilgrims arriving from different parts of India. A complete Chardham tour package from Delhi can include the vehicle, driver, planned overnight stops, selected meals and accommodation throughout the road journey.
Every group travels differently. Families may prefer a private car, larger groups may need a Tempo Traveller or coach, and guests with limited time may consider an approved helicopter itinerary. Our packages are therefore prepared according to the travel dates, passenger ages, group size, preferred hotel category and required level of comfort.
Package highlight: one coordinated journey from Delhi covering all four Dhams, with transport and accommodation selected for your group instead of arranging each sector separately.
Temples Covered in the Chardham Yatra
Gangotri Dham
Gangotri is associated with Goddess Ganga and the sacred Bhagirathi River. The journey through Uttarkashi and the upper Bhagirathi valley is an important part of the pilgrimage experience.
Kedarnath Dham
Set high in the Himalayas, Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The shrine is reached by the current trekking route or by authorised helicopter service, subject to operating conditions.
Badrinath Dham
Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Badrinath stands in the Alaknanda valley. It is normally the final Dham visited before pilgrims begin the return journey towards the plains and Delhi.
