Best Time to Travel

The main pilgrimage season for the Chardham Yatra starts in late April and continues up until early November. But the top months to undertake the Yatra are May & June and September & October. Here's a quick overview:

Peak Season

Pre-Monsoon Period (May & June): This period offers pleasant and mild weather with temperatures swinging in the range of 5°C-20°C. It's perfect for temple tours, outdoor activities, sightseeing, etc.

Post-Monsoon Period (September & October): You get calm and serene surroundings as the crowd is less during this time. On top of that, you are greeted with picturesque lush greenery, fresh off the monsoon rains. A plunge in the hotel bookings price is another perk.

Avoidable Periods

Monsoon Season (July & August): Travelling during this period is not advised. You'll frequently witness heavy rainfalls, road blockages, and slippery roads. Moreover, there's also a high chance of flooding and landslides.

Winter Season (November to April): There's heavy snowfall and temperatures drop to sub-zero ranges - because of this the shrines are closed and therefore Chardham Yatra is not possible during this period.

Tips for a Safe Yatra

Keep the following things in mind to enjoy a convenient trip:

Local Culture & Etiquette: Be mindful of the local culture and customs of the hilly areas. Treat locals with respect. In addition, follow the rules and regulations of the temples.

Be Weather Prepared: Weather can be unpredictable in the mountains. So be ready with rain gear (umbrella, raincoat, and waterproof clothes).

Consider Buying Travel Insurance: Travel insurance can come in handy in situations like medical emergencies or incidents related to bad weather.

Book in Advance: The Chardham in Uttarakhand gets very crowded during the peak season and slots get filled up quickly. So it's advised to book early - transport & accommodations.

Follow Safety Measures: If you find yourself having any symptoms related to altitude sickness, then get medical help immediately. Also, take porters, ponies, or Palkis over rough trek areas.

Stay Healthy: Drink lots of water and stay hydrated. Carry energy bars and nuts during the journey. Also, avoid large meals and eat light for easy digestion.

Pack Essentials: Carry woollen sweaters, jackets, sturdy shoes, gloves, and other thermal wear. Also, pack basic medicines for headaches, digestive issues, and altitude sickness.

Carry light woolens even in summer - evenings get chilly in the hills.
Acclimatize properly, especially before Kedarnath.
Keep dry fruits, ORS, and basic medicines handy.
Avoid overexertion, especially on trek days.
Hire pony/palanquin services where needed, especially for Yamunotri and Kedarnath.
Stay hydrated and take regular breaks.
