Frequently asked questions
How many days do I need for a Kedarnath yatra from Haridwar?
+
This package takes 5 days and 4 nights. You travel from Haridwar to Guptkashi, trek to Kedarnath, spend a night at the shrine, and return by way of Rishikesh.
How long is the Kedarnath trek?
+
The trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath is approximately 19 km each way. You can walk, or hire a doli or pony on direct payment. Plan for most of the day, and carry only a small bag with warm clothes.
Where do we stay at Kedarnath?
+
At Kedarnath, you stay in simple shared pilgrim lodging with 4 to 6 beds. In other towns, you stay in hotels on a sharing basis.
Can children and older travellers do the Kedarnath trek?
+
Many pilgrims of different ages make this trek, either on foot or by doli or pony. The climb is long and the air is thin, so we advise speaking to your doctor first if you have any health concerns.
Do I need to register for the yatra?
+
Yes. Every pilgrim must register on the Uttarakhand tourist care portal before travelling. Guests complete this themselves, and any new state or central rules must be followed.
When is the best time to go?

The shrines open only for part of the year, usually from spring until around the end of October or early November. Opening and closing dates are announced each year and depend on the weather, so please check with our team before you fix your dates.

Vegetarian breakfast and dinner are included each day. Lunch is not included.
What help do I get during the trip?
+
Our team looks after you from pickup to drop. You also get Pandit Ji to guide you at Kedarnath, arranged in advance, and a team member at the shrine. Temple puja fees are paid directly.
How much does the Kedarnath yatra package cost?
+
For 4 people travelling by MUV, the Standard category is ₹19,100 per person including GST. Larger groups pay less per person. The final price depends on your group size and hotel category. Contact us for an exact quote.
The Ganga Aarti on our first evening set the tone. By the time we began the walk to Kedarnath, the team had already explained the route and our timings, so we only had to think about the darshan.
