Char Dham.

Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — the four shrines of the Garhwal Himalaya, by road or by helicopter. Best months: May–June and mid-September–October; closed from Diwali.

Why people go

  • The four dhams in one yatra, which most people intend once and postpone for years
  • By helicopter it becomes possible for parents who could never walk it
  • Uttarakhand registration is compulsory and we prepare it for every traveller

What we'll ask you first

  • Road or helicopter — the same four shrines, and completely different trips
  • Whether anyone has a cardiac or respiratory condition; Kedarnath is 3,580 m
  • Which of the two windows you can travel in — the gates are shut the rest of the year
