Char Dham Yatra Package from Guwahati 2027

A Himalayan pilgrimage from the Northeast

Devotees in Guwahati live beside one of India's great rivers and one of its most revered Shakti shrines. The Char Dham Yatra takes you to the other end of the Himalaya, to the sources of the Yamuna and the Ganga, and to the shrines of Lord Shiva at Kedarnath and Lord Vishnu at Badrinath. It is a long journey from Assam, roughly 1,900 km to Delhi by road, but with good planning it is no harder than a trip from Mumbai or Chennai.

The fastest route is a flight from Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport to Delhi, about two and a half to three hours. Our driver meets you there and runs the Char Dham Yatra from Delhi, 11 nights and 12 days. If a connecting flight to Dehradun suits you better, the Dehradun package is two days shorter.

Getting from Guwahati to the start point

Flight to Delhi

Guwahati has many daily flights to Delhi. Morning departures work best, so you land by early afternoon and drive to Haridwar the same day. Many Northeast travellers prefer to arrive the evening before and rest one night in Delhi; tell us and we will add a hotel near the airport.

Flight to Dehradun

Flights to Dehradun's Jolly Grant airport usually involve a change in Delhi or another hub. You save the Delhi–Haridwar drive at both ends, which is useful for elders. Compare both choices on our Char Dham by air page.

Train

Long-distance trains from Guwahati to Delhi take well over a day each way. They are useful for large groups on a tight budget, but add three to four days to the trip. See the Char Dham by train guide.

Prices are land-package rates per person, for four people sharing a vehicle and twin or triple rooms. Flights are booked separately by you.

Advice for travellers from Assam and the Northeast

• Dry, thin air: Guwahati is humid and low-lying; the dhams are dry and high. Drink plenty of water and walk slowly on the first trek.
• Cold nights: pack thermals, a warm jacket and gloves; our packing list helps.
• Avoid the monsoon: July–August brings landslides; aim for May–June or mid-Sept–Oct. See best time to visit.
• Register first: every pilgrim needs the free online registration; see the registration guide.
• Helicopter tickets: only on IRCTC HeliYatra; read the IRCTC booking guide.
• Read the do's and don'ts: practical rules for the road and the temples.
