Best Time to Visit Char Dham

The Chardham sites open in late April and close around Diwali.

Summer (Late April - June)

This is the most popular time for the Char Dham Yatra. Days at the dhams are pleasant, but mornings and nights stay cold even in June. It is also the busiest period of the year, so book your hotels early.

Monsoon (July - Mid-September)

Avoid it if you can. Heavy rain brings landslides and road blocks, and the trek paths turn slippery. If these are the only months you have, keep one or two buffer days in the plan.

Post-Monsoon (Mid-September - October)

Once the rain stops, the skies clear and the crowds thin out. Nights get colder in October, so pack warm layers. For senior citizens who want a quieter yatra, this is the window we would pick.

Winter (November - April)

The temples are closed. Heavy snow makes the upper routes unsafe, and the deities are worshipped at their winter seats in Kharsali, Mukhba, Ukhimath and Joshimath until the temples reopen in spring.

Char Dham Opening and Closing Dates 2026

Opening dates are from the Uttarakhand Tourist Care portal. The temple committees confirm the closing dates nearer the time, and they announce the 2027 opening dates early next year.

How to Plan Chardham Yatra from Surat

Keep these points in mind while planning your Char Dham Yatra from Surat.

• Book with a registered tour operator and read its reviews before you pay.
• Check the itinerary and the inclusions of the package before making the booking.
• Register yourself and your vehicle before the journey. Registration is mandatory and free on registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in or the Tourist Care Uttarakhand app. Carry the Yatra Registration Letter with its QR code, because you verify it again when you reach each dham.
• Do not carry alcohol or drugs during the pilgrimage.
• Check the weather forecast and road updates before you start each day.
• Kedarnath shuttle helicopter tickets are sold only on heliyatra.irctc.co.in, as per the Shri Badarinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee. The helipads are at Phata, Sersi and Guptkashi.
• The Rudraprayag district administration sets a daily cut-off time for starting the Kedarnath trek from Sonprayag and Gaurikund. Leave early on trek day.

How to Reach Chardham from Surat

Surat has no direct flight to Uttarakhand. You first reach Dehradun, Haridwar or Rishikesh, and the road journey starts from there.

By Air

There is no non-stop flight from Surat to Dehradun. You change planes once, and the total travel time depends on the connecting airport and the layover. Flights land at Jolly Grant Airport, about 20 km from Rishikesh.

By Train

Two trains run direct from Surat to Haridwar. The daily Dehradun Express (19019) takes about 27 hours, and the weekly Bandra Terminus - Haridwar Superfast (22917) runs on Wednesdays and takes about 22 hours. Timetables change, so check IRCTC before booking. From Haridwar, Rishikesh is about 25 km by bus or taxi.

By Road

Surat to Delhi is roughly 1,150 to 1,200 km by road, depending on the route. From Delhi, take a bus or taxi to Haridwar or Rishikesh, then a private vehicle to Barkot, the first stop on the Yamunotri route.

Travel Tips for Pilgrims

These tips will help you on the road and at the temples.

• Keep silence inside the temples. Mobile phones are banned inside the Kedarnath temple premises, and at the other dhams you should follow the rules displayed by the temple.
• Wear sturdy trekking shoes. Yamunotri needs a 6 km trek and Kedarnath a 16 km trek, each way.
• Keep enough cash. Small vendors may not take digital payment, and the mobile network drops in many places.
• Carry all the medicines prescribed by your doctor for the full trip.
• All four dhams are above 3,000 metres. Take it slow for the first few days so your body can adjust. Headache, nausea or breathlessness can be signs of altitude sickness, so tell your driver or our team at once.
• Older travellers and anyone with heart, breathing or blood-pressure problems should talk to their doctor about high-altitude travel before booking.
• Senior citizens can hire a pony, palki or doli at Yamunotri and Kedarnath, or book a helicopter for Kedarnath.

Accommodation Options

Most hotels on the Char Dham route are simple, family-run properties. Our itinerary uses hotels at Barkot, Uttarkashi, Sitapur, Pipalkoti, Badrinath and Srinagar, based on availability and your package category.

Gangotri

Gangotri has basic hotels and ashrams near the temple. Harsil, on the way to Gangotri, is another place to stay.

Yamunotri

Yamunotri has GMVN tourist guest houses and private hotels. Most pilgrims stay at Barkot, Janki Chatti or Hanuman Chatti, where the options are basic.

Kedarnath

Stays at Kedarnath are basic: GMVN cottages, tents and small guest houses. Our itinerary does not need a night here, because you return to Sitapur the same day.

Badrinath

At Badrinath, there are both mid-range and budget-friendly hotels. Many of them look out on the Neelkanth peak.

Nights are cold at all four dhams, even in May and June. Pack warm layers.
