What's included

Why start from Haridwar?

Haridwar is well connected by train from across India, and Dehradun's Jolly Grant airport is about an hour away. Starting here saves a full day of driving compared with starting in Delhi, and the evening aarti at Har Ki Pauri makes a fitting start to the yatra.

Changing the itinerary

• Skip the Kedarnath night stay: do the walk up and back in one day. It's possible for fit walkers, but long.
• Add Tungnath and Chopta: add one day between Kedarnath and Badrinath.
• Add Rishikesh: add a night for the Parmarth Niketan aarti and Laxman Jhula.
• Kedarnath by helicopter: we plan the day around your IRCTC shuttle slot.
