FAQ

Common questions about Chardham Yatra

Is Chardham registration mandatory for 2026? +

Yes, online registration is mandatory for Kedarnath and Badrinath. Registration for Yamunotri and Gangotri is strongly recommended. Register at registrationandbooking.uk.gov.in and carry your QR certificate.

Which vehicle is best for Chardham Yatra? +

Toyota Innova is our strongest recommendation. It has good ground clearance, a torquey diesel engine, and comfortable seating for long mountain drives. Maruti Ertiga works well for families too — but for Kedarnath specifically, Innova is preferred for the steep approach to Gaurikund.

Do I need to trek to Kedarnath? +

Yes. Our cab drops you at Gaurikund (3,048m). From there you trek 8km to Kedarnath temple (3,583m). Alternatively, horse/palkhi or helicopter services are available from Gaurikund at extra cost — these are booked separately at Gaurikund.

How long does the full Chardham circuit take? +

A complete circuit from Prayagraj typically takes 10–12 days: 1 day to Haridwar, 2–3 days for Yamunotri & Gangotri, 3 days for Kedarnath, 3 days for Badrinath, 1 day return. We customise the itinerary based on your pace and dates.

What is the best time to visit Chardham? +

May–June and September–October are the best months. July–August have heavy monsoon rains causing landslides — we advise against travel then. Early May (opening week) and September are ideal for clear skies and smaller crowds.

What is included in the cab price? +

Our price includes the driver, fuel, and cab charges. Tolls, parking, driver allowance (₹300–500/day outstation), and personal expenses are separate. We give a full cost breakdown before you confirm.
