Itinerary
Your spiritual journey begins with a pickup from Haridwar. From there, we will drive towards Guptkashi, a scenic town with religious significance. The drive takes you through picturesque landscapes alongside the Mandakini River, with a stop at Devprayag to witness the sacred confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers. Upon arrival in Guptkashi, you will check into your hotel for an overnight stay.
After an early breakfast, you will travel to Gaurikund, the starting point of the trek to Kedarnath. From Gaurikund, you can either begin the 18 km trek or hire a pony, palki, or helicopter (from a nearby helipad) to reach the temple. Upon reaching Kedarnath, check into your accommodation and proceed for darshan at the holy shrine. The evening aarti is a profoundly spiritual experience you can witness before retiring for the night.
Wake up early for morning darshan and prayers at the Kedarnath temple. After soaking in the divine atmosphere, you will begin your descent back to Gaurikund. From there, our vehicle will transfer you back to your hotel in Guptkashi for a comfortable overnight stay, allowing you to rest and recover after the trek.
On the final day of your yatra, you will have breakfast and then start your drive back to Haridwar. We will make a stop at Rishikesh to see the iconic Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula before dropping you at your designated location in Haridwar, marking the end of a memorable pilgrimage.
