Why Choose a Kedarnath Yatra from Delhi?

Honestly, starting your pilgrimage from Delhi is the only option that really makes sense logistically. Since it is the main transport hub, you can land here from anywhere and immediately get moving.

• The Adjustment Period: This is something people forget. You cannot just rush to 11,000 feet. The drive from Delhi forces you to slow down. By stopping in Haridwar and then Guptkashi, your body most get used to the thin air.
• No Changing Trains: Trying to piece together local buses or connecting trains with luggage is a nightmare. A direct cab from Delhi means you load your bags once and do not touch them again until the hotel.
• The Experience: There is something about watching the chaos of the city slowly turn into mountains. It gives you 5 days to actually disconnect from work and bond with whoever you are traveling with.
• Practicality: It is enough to get the spiritual dip in the Ganga at Haridwar and the Darshan at Kedarnath in one single, clean loop.

• September and October are more peaceful times and quieter with breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and crisp air. It's the ideal season for those who prefer good weather and fewer crowds.
• Due to heavy snowfall, Kedarnath Temple remains closed in winter.

Important Travel Guidelines (2026 Update)

The administration will not take any chances this year. The crowds are huge, and the rules in 2026 are strict.

• Permits are Key: You cannot just walk in anymore. Biometric registration is 100% mandatory. Keep a screenshot and a paper copy; if your phone dies at a checkpoint, you will be stuck.
• The Helicopter Scramble: If you are not trekking, you need to book heli-tickets the minute they drop online. They vanish in seconds. Do not trust anyone selling tickets on the spot; they are mostly scams.
• Health Checks: It is a high climb. If you are bringing parents, get a doctor's okay before you leave home. The medical camps up there are for emergencies, not routine checks.
• Real Winter Gear: It does not matter if it is June. Once the sun goes down at the temple, it is freezing. Bring jackets.
• Cash Only: Network is terrible. Your UPI apps won't load. Carry enough cash.
