Char Dham Yatra Package from Gwalior 2027

Close to Delhi, so the yatra starts on day one

Most cities in Madhya Pradesh are a night's train ride from Delhi. Gwalior is different: at roughly 320 km, it is only a few hours away on the main rail line. That changes the plan. Instead of losing a night to travel, Gwalior families can leave home after an early breakfast, reach Delhi by late morning, and be in Haridwar for the evening aarti the same day.

The trip then follows our Char Dham Yatra package from Delhi: 11 nights and 12 days covering Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, with hotels, breakfast, dinner and one private vehicle and driver throughout. Gwalior is about 530 km from Haridwar, so a direct road pick-up from home is possible on request, but the train is usually faster and cheaper.

Getting from Gwalior to the start of the yatra

Early train to Delhi (recommended)

Gwalior sits on the busy Delhi–Bhopal–Mumbai line, with many fast trains to Delhi. Pick one that reaches Hazrat Nizamuddin or New Delhi by about 10–11 am. Our driver collects you at the station and heads straight for Haridwar, stopping for lunch on the way.

By road from Gwalior

If your group prefers not to change vehicles, we can quote a road pick-up from Gwalior. The drive to Haridwar via Agra and the Yamuna Expressway is long, so we break it with an overnight halt and the trip grows by one day. This suits groups with lots of luggage or very elderly members.

By air

Gwalior airport has a small number of flights. For most families the train is simpler, but if you are coming from elsewhere, see the Char Dham by air guide.
