Gangotri Dham
Dedicated to Goddess Ganga and reached by a scenic motorable road through Uttarkashi, Harsil and the upper Bhagirathi valley.
Explore Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath
Uttarakhand is renowned for the Char Dham Yatra. The Teen Dham route included in this package visits Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath while omitting Yamunotri. It is suitable for travellers who want to experience three major shrines within a compact nine-day journey from Delhi.
Gangotri is dedicated to Goddess Ganga and stands beside the Bhagirathi River. Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and stands beside the Alaknanda River.
TravelTrek can customise the vehicle, accommodation, meals and Kedarnath access arrangements according to the travel date, group size, room requirements and budget. The programme contains several long driving days and should be reviewed carefully for children, senior pilgrims and travellers with medical concerns.
This nine-day itinerary is fast-paced. Add one or two nights if your group needs more rest, wants additional sightseeing or cannot comfortably manage consecutive long mountain journeys.

Detailed 9-Day Teen Dham Yatra Itinerary
Day 1
Delhi → Haridwar
Begin the Pilgrimage from Delhi
Meet the driver at the confirmed Delhi pickup point and begin the road journey to Haridwar. Check in at the hotel and rest after arrival.
Attend the evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri when traffic, arrival time and crowd arrangements permit. Return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 2
Haridwar → Rishikesh → Chamba → Uttarkashi
Travel to Uttarkashi
After an early breakfast, travel through Rishikesh, Chamba and Dharasu towards Uttarkashi, a pilgrimage town beside the Bhagirathi River.
On arrival, check in at the hotel. Visit Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the nearby Shakti Temple if opening hours and available daylight permit. Return for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3
Uttarkashi → Harsil → Gangotri → Uttarkashi
Gangotri Temple Darshan
Depart early and travel through Gangnani, Dharali and Harsil towards Gangotri. Scenic stops depend on traffic, weather and temple timings.
Proceed for Gangotri Temple darshan and spend time beside the Bhagirathi River. The water is extremely cold and the current can be dangerous, so perform personal rituals only in permitted areas and follow local safety instructions.
Return to Uttarkashi for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 4
Uttarkashi → Tehri Sector → Guptkashi
Long Drive to the Kedarnath Valley
Leave early for the long mountain journey to Guptkashi. The official Uttarkashi–Kedarnath route is extensive, and the exact road may change according to weather, traffic and district instructions.
A brief Tehri-sector viewpoint stop may be possible when the operating route and daylight permit. On arrival in Guptkashi, check in at the hotel.
Vishwanath or Ardhanarishwar Temple can be visited only if the group reaches before closing time. Have dinner and rest.
Day 5
Guptkashi → Sonprayag → Gaurikund → Kedarnath
Trek to Kedarnath Dham
Leave before dawn and drive to Sonprayag. Use the authorised local shuttle to Gaurikund because private tour vehicles normally remain at or before the designated Sonprayag point.
Begin the approximately 16 km ascent to Kedarnath. Walking, pony and palki options are available under separate local arrangements. Helicopter passengers require a separately confirmed helipad, flight and hotel plan.
On arrival, check in at the confirmed basic accommodation. Proceed for Kedarnath darshan or evening aarti according to temple timing and crowd arrangements.
Day 6
Kedarnath → Gaurikund → Sonprayag → Guptkashi
Morning Darshan and Descent
Visit Kedarnath Temple, Bhairavnath Temple or Shankaracharya Samadhi early if required and conditions permit. Check out and begin the approximately 16 km descent.
From Gaurikund, use the authorised local shuttle to Sonprayag. Meet the driver at the clearly confirmed meeting point and return to the hotel in the Guptkashi, Sitapur or Sersi sector.
Triyuginarayan Temple is optional. It is generally unsuitable after a full walking descent unless the group finishes early and road access, daylight and traveller energy permit.
Day 7
Guptkashi → Rudraprayag → Joshimath → Badrinath
Drive to Badrinath Dham
After an early breakfast, travel towards Badrinath. The operating route may pass the Chopta or Rudraprayag sector depending on road conditions and the confirmed vehicle plan.
Continue through Karnaprayag, Nandaprayag and Joshimath. A visit to Narsingh Temple is possible only when opening hours, parking and arrival time permit.
Check in near Badrinath, Pandukeshwar or Joshimath. Evening darshan, Tapt Kund and aarti remain subject to actual arrival and current temple arrangements.
Day 8
Badrinath → Mana → Joshimath → Rudraprayag
Badrinath Darshan and Return
Visit Badrinath Temple early if darshan was not completed the previous evening. A short Mana village visit may include Vyas Gufa or Bhim Pul when local access and available time permit.
Mana is currently promoted as India’s first village. Begin the return drive through Joshimath and the Alaknanda valley. Brief stops near Vishnuprayag, Nandaprayag or Karnaprayag depend on traffic and daylight.
Reach Rudraprayag and check in at the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 9
Rudraprayag → Devprayag → Rishikesh → Delhi
Return to Delhi
Leave early for the long final journey. A Maa Dhari Devi Temple stop may be included before Srinagar when opening hours, parking and the day’s schedule permit. Continue through Devprayag towards Rishikesh.
Take a short meal or riverfront break in Rishikesh, then continue to Delhi. Lakshman Jhula access and local bridge arrangements may change, so no crossing or detailed sightseeing is guaranteed.
Attending the evening Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh would result in a very late Delhi arrival. Families wanting the aarti should add a Rishikesh night or accept the revised timing in writing.
All distances and timings are approximate. Weather, road closures, traffic, temple queues and traveller health may require itinerary changes.
Ways to Reach Kedarnath Temple
Walking
Approximately 16 km each way from Gaurikund. Fitness preparation, a very early start and suitable footwear are essential.
Pony Service
Separately operated under local arrangements and subject to official rates, route conditions and availability.
Palki or Doli
