Kedarnath and Badrinath Do Dham Yatra
Kedarnath and Badrinath are two of the most significant Hindu pilgrimage destinations in Uttarakhand. Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and forms part of both the Uttarakhand Char Dham and the wider Char Dham tradition.
TravelTrek’s six-day Do Dham package is designed for pilgrims who want a more practical alternative to a same-day Kedarnath ascent and descent. Trekking guests can stay near Kedarnath on Day 2, descend on Day 3 and rest in the Guptkashi sector before continuing to Badrinath.
Transport, hotel category, selected meals and optional services can be customised according to your travel date, passengers, room requirements, budget and preferred method of reaching Kedarnath.
The six-day itinerary is more suitable for walkers than the compact five-day programme, but it still includes long mountain drives and high-altitude travel.
About Kedarnath and Badrinath
Kedarnath Temple
Kedarnath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and stands high in the Mandakini valley. The official route from Gaurikund to Kedarnath is approximately 16 km one way. Walking time depends on fitness, weather, crowd levels and current path conditions.
Pilgrims may walk or use separately arranged pony, palki or authorised helicopter services, subject to availability and official conditions.
Badrinath Dham
Badrinath Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and stands beside the Alaknanda River in Chamoli district. The shrine is accessible by a motorable mountain road, although the final sector can be affected by weather and traffic controls.
Temple darshan, Tapt Kund and a short Mana village visit may be planned according to arrival time, access and the confirmed itinerary.

Day 2
Guptkashi → Sonprayag → Gaurikund → Kedarnath
Trek to Kedarnath Dham
Leave early and travel to Sonprayag. Continue to Gaurikund using the authorised local shuttle system because private tour vehicles are normally unable to proceed beyond the designated point.
Begin the approximately 16 km uphill journey to Kedarnath. Pilgrims may walk or use separately arranged pony or palki services. After arrival, check in at the confirmed basic accommodation and proceed for darshan according to temple timings and crowd arrangements.
Stay overnight near Kedarnath. Facilities at high altitude are basic, and baggage should be kept light.
Day 3
Kedarnath → Gaurikund → Sonprayag → Guptkashi
Morning Darshan and Descent
Attend morning darshan if required and check out after breakfast or according to the accommodation plan. Begin the approximately 16 km descent to Gaurikund.
From Gaurikund, use the authorised local shuttle to Sonprayag. Meet the tour driver at the clearly confirmed meeting point and continue to the hotel in the Guptkashi, Sitapur or Sonprayag sector.
Have dinner and rest after completing the Kedarnath sector.
Day 4
Guptkashi → Rudraprayag → Karnaprayag → Joshimath → Badrinath
Drive to Badrinath Dham
After an early breakfast, begin the long drive to Badrinath through Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, Nandaprayag and Joshimath. Stops depend on traffic, road conditions and available daylight.
On arrival, check in at the confirmed hotel near Badrinath, Pandukeshwar or Joshimath. Evening Badrinath darshan or aarti is possible only if the group arrives in time and current temple arrangements permit.
Day 5
Badrinath → Joshimath → Karnaprayag → Rudraprayag
Badrinath Darshan and Return to Rudraprayag
Visit Badrinath Temple early if darshan was not completed the previous evening. Pilgrims visiting Tapt Kund should follow official health and access instructions.
A brief Mana village visit may be possible with an early start and suitable local access. Begin the return journey through Joshimath. A stop at Narsingh Temple can be considered if time, parking and opening hours permit.
Continue through the Alaknanda valley and check in at the confirmed Rudraprayag hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 6
Rudraprayag → Devprayag → Rishikesh → Haridwar
Return to Haridwar
After breakfast, check out and drive towards Haridwar. A brief stop at Devprayag may be included to view the sacred confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers.
If traffic and daylight permit, stop at an accessible riverfront or temple area in Rishikesh. Continue to Haridwar for drop-off at the agreed hotel, railway station or other accessible point.
Driving and trekking times are approximate. Weather, traffic, landslides, local transport queues and official controls may change the programme.
Six-Day Package with Kedarnath Helicopter
Helicopter shuttle services may operate from authorised helipads such as Phata, Sirsi and Guptkashi. Tickets are not included unless expressly written in the final quotation.
Helicopter passengers normally return to the lower valley on the same day rather than staying near Kedarnath. Therefore, Day 2 and Day 3 must be adjusted before confirmation. Day 3 may become a buffer, recovery or local sightseeing day depending on the confirmed flight plan.
Flights are subject to weather, permissions, passenger weight, baggage restrictions, reporting time and operator rules. A delayed or cancelled flight may require an itinerary change and extra accommodation or transport.
Never combine a trekking itinerary and a helicopter itinerary without revising the hotel nights, driver meeting point and onward travel plan.
