Your journey begins from Haridwar, a spiritual gateway to the Himalayas. As you move towards Barkot via Mussoorie, you’ll notice the landscape slowly changing from plains to mountains. This day is more about settling into the journey and preparing your body for higher altitudes. Overnight stay in Barkot.
After an early breakfast, drive to Janki Chatti and begin your trek to Yamunotri Temple. The 6 km route can be covered by walking or by pony/palki if needed. After darshan and a dip at Surya Kund, return to Barkot. This marks the completion of your first dham. Overnight stay in Barkot.
Today’s drive is relatively relaxed. Uttarkashi is located on the banks of the Bhagirathi River and gives you time to acclimatize. You can visit Kashi Vishwanath Temple here. Overnight stay in Uttarkashi.
Start early for Gangotri Temple, one of the most sacred places in India. The drive runs along the Bhagirathi River and offers stunning views. After darshan, spend some peaceful time near the temple before returning to Uttarkashi. Overnight stay in Uttarkashi.
This is one of the longest travel days. The route takes you deeper into the Garhwal Himalayas. Guptkashi is the base point for Kedarnath and an important halt for rest before the trek. Overnight stay in Guptkashi.
Drive to Sonprayag, then proceed to Gaurikund. From here, the 16 km trek to Kedarnath begins. You can also opt for helicopter, pony, or palki services. Kedarnath Temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and the most spiritually powerful part of the journey. Overnight stay near Kedarnath.
