Types of Chardham Package from Ahmedabad

Budget Package

The budget Char Dham tour from Ahmedabad is for pilgrims who want a hassle-free yatra without overspending. The amenities and services are basic, but the route and darshan plan are the same as in the other packages.

Luxury Package

The luxury Ahmedabad to Char Dham package is for pilgrims who want more comfort throughout the trip. It uses higher-category hotels and private transportation, subject to availability. Keep in mind that stays close to the shrines, especially at Kedarnath, are basic even in this category.

Helicopter Package

Our Char Dham Yatra by helicopter cuts out most of the long mountain drives. The helicopter tour starts from Dehradun, so from Ahmedabad you first fly to Dehradun. Business professionals, people with mobility issues and senior citizens can opt for this package if a doctor clears them for high altitude. Flights depend on the weather and can be delayed or rescheduled.

Char Dham Opening and Closing Dates 2026

The temple committees announce the exact closing dates each year. Check them before planning an October or November trip.

See our Chardham opening and closing dates page for the latest updates.

Best Time to Visit

Summer

Summer is the peak season for the Char Dham Yatra because the weather is pleasant. The temples open in late April (19 to 23 April in 2026). May and June are the busiest months of the season. Accommodation and transport prices are highest at this time, so book early.

Monsoon

The monsoon lasts from July to mid-September. It is not a good time for the Char Dham Yatra because of heavy rainfall and landslides. Roads can be blocked for hours or days, and road conditions are poor. Hotels stay open, but you should keep a few spare days.

Autumn

Late September and October usually bring clearer skies and less rush than May and June. Late rain can still shut the routes, as it did on 27 September 2026, so keep a spare day or two. Nights get cold, and the temples close in November.

Winter

During winter, the Char Dham temples remain closed for about 6 months because of heavy snowfall. The deities are worshipped at their winter seats: Kharsali (Yamunotri), Mukhba (Gangotri), the Omkareshwar temple in Ukhimath (Kedarnath) and the Narsingh temple in Jyotirmath, also called Joshimath (Badrinath).

How to Reach

By Air

You can take a direct flight from Ahmedabad (Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport) to Dehradun (Jolly Grant Airport), the nearest airport to the Char Dham route. Taxis are available outside the airport to Rishikesh and Haridwar, where the yatra starts. Flights from Ahmedabad to Delhi are more frequent. Check current schedules before booking.

By Train

The Yoga Express (19031) runs daily from Ahmedabad to Haridwar. It takes about 23 to 26 hours and continues to Rishikesh. From Vadodara and Surat, you can also take the Bandra Terminus to Haridwar Express (19019). Many trains also run from Ahmedabad to Delhi. Train timings change, so check the current timetable on IRCTC before you book.

By Road

Ahmedabad to Haridwar is about 1,190 km by road, via Rajasthan and Delhi. From Haridwar or Rishikesh, you can head to Barkot, the first stop of the Char Dham route.
