Delhi Char Dham by Innova Crysta
- Extra legroom for long days
- Ideal for 5–6 people
- Same route and hotels
No train tickets to chase and no station transfers: your car collects you at home in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad or Ghaziabad and brings you back twelve days later with all four dhams done.
Delhi is about 230 km from Haridwar, the traditional gateway to the four dhams. You could take a train or bus to Haridwar and begin there, but for families with elders, children or heavy luggage, starting the car at your own gate removes the most tiring part of the journey. The same driver and vehicle then stay with you for all twelve days.
The plan adds two nights in Haridwar to the standard ten-day circuit: one on the way up, so the first mountain day starts early and fresh, and one on the way down, so you never face the long drive to Delhi after a full day in the hills. That rhythm is why the Delhi package runs 11 nights and 12 days rather than ten.
Prices below are per person for a group of four sharing one vehicle and rooms on twin or triple sharing. Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad and Ghaziabad all carry the same price.
| Category | Hotels | Vehicle | Price per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | Clean standard hotels | Dzire / Ertiga | ₹24,500 |
| Deluxe | Better-rated hotels, best rooms available | Ertiga / Innova Crysta | ₹35,500 |
| Luxury | Top hotels at each stop, all meals | Innova Crysta | ₹53,500 |
Estimated 2027 prices. The final quote depends on your dates, hotel availability and how many people travel. Couples pay more per head; groups of 10 or more travel cheaper in a Tempo Traveller.
The driver picks you up from home in the morning and takes the expressway towards Meerut and Roorkee. You reach Haridwar by afternoon with time to check in and walk to Har Ki Pauri. Watch the Ganga aarti at sunset, the traditional blessing before a Himalayan pilgrimage.
An early start for the first real mountain drive, up through Dehradun and Mussoorie. From Kempty Falls the road twists down to the Yamuna. Barkot, ringed by orchards, is your base for two nights.
Drive to Janki Chatti and climb the 6 km path to Yamunotri on foot, pony or palki. Bathe in the hot spring near the shrine and offer prayers to Goddess Yamuna. Walk down in the afternoon and return to Barkot.
A relaxed drive across to the Bhagirathi. Uttarkashi has the old Kashi Vishwanath temple and riverside ghats for an evening stroll. Rest well, because tomorrow is a long return trip.
Drive up the Bhagirathi gorge past Gangnani and the valley of Harsil to Gangotri at 3,100 m. After darshan, sit by the river near Bhagirath Shila, where King Bhagirath is said to have meditated. Return to Uttarkashi by evening.
A full day on the road through Chamba, past Tehri lake, into the Mandakini valley. The driver aims to reach before dark. Repack tonight: only a small bag goes up to Kedarnath.
From Sonprayag, take the shared jeep to Gaurikund and start the 16 km climb. Ponies and palkis can be hired at rates set by the local administration, and guests holding IRCTC helicopter seats are taken to the helipad instead. Stay near the temple for the evening aarti.
Pre-dawn darshan, then visit the Bhairavnath temple and Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi. Descend to Gaurikund, jeep to Sonprayag and meet the car. Overnight in Guptkashi.
Cross over via Ukhimath and Chopta to Chamoli, then follow the Alaknanda to Joshimath and Badrinath. Bathe in the Tapt Kund before evening darshan. The town is lively and cold, so keep a jacket handy.
Morning darshan of Badri Vishal, then a visit to Mana village and Bhim Pul. After lunch drive down through Karnaprayag and Nandprayag to Rudraprayag or Srinagar.
Stop at Devprayag for a view of the sangam where the Ganga is born. Reach Haridwar in the afternoon and rest. An evening by the river is a fitting close to the yatra.
After breakfast, drive back to Delhi with a stop for lunch on the highway. The driver drops you at home by late afternoon. Your Char Dham Yatra is complete.
Some travellers prefer to take an early train or Volvo bus to Haridwar and join our Haridwar package, which is two days shorter and costs from ₹21,500. It suits young, light-travelling groups. The door-to-door Delhi plan suits families with elders, anyone carrying a lot, and people who simply do not want to manage stations. Read more about rail options on Char Dham by train.
| Option | Days | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Car from Delhi home | 12 | Families, elders, heavy luggage |
| Train to Haridwar + package | 10 (plus train) | Smaller budgets, flexible travellers |
| Seat in a group bus | 10 | Solo travellers and couples on a budget |
