Jaipur is only a morning's journey from Delhi, which makes the Pink City one of the easiest places in Rajasthan to start a Char Dham Yatra. Here is how the trip comes together, what it costs and how each day runs.
Unlike pilgrims from the far south or east, a Jaipur family does not need a long train journey or a flight to reach the Himalaya. Delhi is about 280 km away, roughly five hours by road or rail, and that is where our Char Dham package from Delhi begins. Many Jaipur groups take an early train or a bus, meet the driver at a Delhi station by midday, and are in Haridwar for the evening aarti.
Haridwar itself is around 480 km from Jaipur, a little beyond the distance we usually cover on a pick-up day. If your group prefers to be collected from home, we can send the vehicle to Jaipur and quote the extra distance and night separately. Either way, the mountain part of the yatra is identical: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath in that traditional west-to-east order.
