For families in Amravati and across Vidarbha, the Char Dham is a cool-weather pilgrimage far from the scorching plains. Reach Delhi from Badnera or Nagpur, and the mountains take care of the rest.
This page is for Amravati in Vidarbha, Maharashtra, home of the Ambadevi temple. (If you live in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, our Vijayawada page is the better fit.) From Amravati, Delhi is about 1,150 km away. Badnera Junction, a few kilometres from the city, sits on a busy main line, and Nagpur's airport is around two and a half to three hours' drive east.
Our package begins in Delhi, so your only job is to get there. A private car with a hill driver then takes you to Haridwar and on to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. Twelve days later it drops you back in Delhi for the journey home.

Three ways to start from Amravati
Train from Badnera. Several long-distance trains towards Delhi stop at Badnera; some need a change at Nagpur, Itarsi or Bhopal. Book early for May–June. Read our train guide.
Road to Nagpur, fly to Delhi. The fastest option. Leave Amravati in the morning and reach Delhi by evening. See the flight guide.
Fly Nagpur to Dehradun via a connection. Then join our 9N/10D plan from Haridwar, which saves two days on the road.
Whichever you choose, aim to arrive the evening before day 1. Overnight rest in Delhi makes the first mountain drive much easier.
Per person, twin or triple sharing, group of four. Estimated 2027 prices; your quote depends on dates, hotel category and group size. Travel from Amravati is extra.

Tips for Vidarbha families
From 45°C to near zero. Vidarbha in May is among the hottest places in India; Kedarnath at dawn can be freezing. Pack thermals and a down or fleece jacket. See things to carry.
Hydrate at altitude. Drink water regularly even when it is cold, and climb slowly.
Amravati in Vidarbha, Maharashtra. Pilgrims from Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh should see the Vijayawada page.
