Char Dham Yatra Package from Prayagraj (Allahabad) 2027

From one Sangam to five more

Families from Prayagraj grow up beside the Triveni Sangam, so the Char Dham route holds a particular fascination: the rivers that will eventually pass your city are born in these mountains. Gangotri marks the origin of the Bhagirathi, and Yamunotri the source of the Yamuna. On the drive to Badrinath you pass Vishnuprayag, Nandprayag, Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag, the five confluences of the Alaknanda that pilgrims call the Panch Prayag.

Getting there is simple. Prayagraj is about 680 km from Delhi, with overnight trains taking roughly 9–12 hours and direct flights from Prayagraj airport taking about an hour and a half. Our road package starts in Delhi: the car meets you on day 1 and completes the circuit of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath before bringing you back. Some trains also run towards Haridwar or Dehradun; if one suits you, start with the Haridwar package instead.

The Panch Prayag you will see on the way

Devprayag is the one most Prayagraj pilgrims want to stand at: it is where the Ganga takes its name, the river that later meets the Yamuna at your own Sangam. Our drivers stop there on the way back so you can walk down to the ghat. See the route map for where each prayag sits.

Char Dham package price from Prayagraj (2027)

Per person, twin or triple sharing, group of four in one vehicle. 2027 estimates; the final price depends on dates, hotels and group size. Train or air fare from Prayagraj is extra.

Group size moves the price more than anything else. Two people sharing a car pay about ₹27,500 each from Haridwar on budget hotels, while a joint family or satsang group of 10–12 in a Tempo Traveller pays around ₹19,500 each. Solo pilgrims and couples who want to keep costs low can join a fixed-departure group from ₹18,500 per seat, or travel by yatra bus from ₹15,500 per seat. Choosing deluxe or luxury mostly changes the rooms in Haridwar, Uttarkashi, Guptkashi and Badrinath; at Kedarnath, every category stays in simple lodgings.

Inclusions and exclusions

Tips from experience

• Bring containers for Gangajal. Sealed plastic cans are sold at Gangotri, but carrying your own is easier.
• Mind the season. Prayagraj's summer heat makes May–June tempting, but those are the busiest months. Mid-September to October is quieter. Avoid July–August. See best time to visit.
• Register before you travel. Free and mandatory for all; see the registration guide.
• Pack for altitude. Kedarnath is at 3,583 m. Carry warm layers and read our packing list.
• Helicopter tickets for Kedarnath are sold only on IRCTC HeliYatra. Read the IRCTC booking guide.
