Char Dham Yatra Price Overview
The Char Dham Yatra price depends on four things: the hotel category, how many people share the vehicle, the month you travel and where you start. This page lists all four so you can see your price before you ask for a quote. The base is the 10 day road yatra from Haridwar in standard hotels, which starts at ₹34,900 per person for 6 persons in an Innova.
Prices are per person on twin sharing and include hotels, breakfast and dinner, a dedicated vehicle with a hill driver, fuel, tolls, taxes, yatra registration and the Sonprayag jeep. They do not include pony, palki, the Kedarnath helicopter, lunch or train and flight tickets, which are listed separately with their rates.
Below the price lists you will find the full 10 day itinerary, the hotels at every halt, taxi fares for a vehicle-only booking, trek and helicopter rates, and the inclusion and exclusion list.

Per Person Price or Per Vehicle Price?
Packages are quoted per person on twin sharing because hotels and meals are per person. The vehicle is a fixed cost shared by the group, which is why a couple pays more per person than a family of six. If you prefer, ask for a per vehicle quote: the vehicle, driver and fuel for the full circuit as one price, and hotels per room on top. Vehicle-only taxi fares are in the table below.

Registration and Documents Checklist
- Yatra registration. Compulsory for every pilgrim on the Uttarakhand Tourism portal. We complete it for you and send the slip on WhatsApp. Carry a printout.
- Photo ID. Aadhaar, voter ID, passport or driving licence for every traveller, original and one copy.
- Medical fitness. A doctor's certificate is advised for pilgrims above 50 and anyone with heart, blood pressure or breathing conditions. Health screening is done at the check posts.
- Helicopter tickets. Carry the IRCTC e-ticket and the same photo ID used for booking.
- Hotel vouchers. We send a single voucher with all hotel names, driver name and vehicle number before departure.
- Emergency contacts. Our coordinator's number, the Uttarakhand tourist helpline 1364 and the police helpline 112.
Travel Tips and What to Pack
- Start early every day. Hill roads have gates that close at dusk, and the Kedarnath trek should begin by 6 am.
- Go slow on altitude. Kedarnath is at about 3,580 m and Badrinath at 3,300 m. Drink water, avoid alcohol and tell the driver if you feel breathless or dizzy.
- Pack for cold and rain. Thermals, a down or fleece jacket, raincoat, warm cap, gloves, trekking shoes with grip, two pairs of socks a day, sunscreen and a torch.
- Medicines. Your regular medicines for the full trip plus a basic kit: pain relief, ORS, antacid, motion sickness tablets, band-aids and a pulse oximeter if you have one.
- Cash and network. ATMs and mobile network are unreliable beyond Uttarkashi, Guptkashi and Joshimath. Carry cash for pony, prasad and local jeeps. BSNL and Jio work best.
- Keep buffer days. Landslides and rain can block roads for a few hours or a day. Do not book a flight or train on the evening you return.
- Respect temple rules. Photography is not allowed inside the temples. Dress modestly and follow the queue system.
This is a likely schedule. The tour coordinator may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
