Char Dham Yatra Package from Patna 2027

Following the Ganga from Patna to its source

For families in Bihar, the Ganga is part of daily life, from morning baths at Gandhi Ghat to the Chhath arghya at dusk. The Char Dham Yatra lets you trace that same river back to where it starts. At Devprayag the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet to become the Ganga, at Gangotri you stand beside the Bhagirathi near its glacier, and Badrinath and Kedarnath sit on the other two great feeder streams.

Patna to Delhi is roughly 1,000 km, and some trains from Bihar run on through Lucknow and Moradabad towards Haridwar or Dehradun. That makes Haridwar a natural meeting point. Our Haridwar Char Dham package takes over from there for nine nights. If you are flying into Delhi instead, choose the Delhi package, which adds the highway drive in both directions.

Patna to Haridwar: your travel options

Trains from Patna Junction, Rajendra Nagar and Danapur cover most needs. For May and June, book berths the day reservations open; summer holiday and wedding traffic out of Bihar is heavy. Our Char Dham by train page explains how to time your arrival with the tour start, and Char Dham by air covers flights.

Price for the Char Dham Yatra from Patna

Bihar groups often travel as large families or village samitis. The per-person price falls as the group grows, because the vehicle cost is shared.

Starting prices, 2027 estimates. The quote depends on dates, hotels and group size. Train or flight from Patna, helicopter, pony and palki are extra. Bus seat details are on the Char Dham bus tour page.

Tips for travellers from Bihar

• Pind daan at Brahma Kapal: carry your family details; priests at Badrinath guide the rite, and their dakshina is paid directly.
• Gangajal: buy sealed containers in Gangotri or Haridwar rather than carrying heavy ones up the trek.
• Cold nights: Patna winters help, but carry thermals and a heavy jacket even in June.
• Registration: free and mandatory for all; see the registration guide.
• Helicopter: Kedarnath shuttle seats are sold only on IRCTC HeliYatra; read how to book on IRCTC.
• Season: avoid July–August monsoon; check opening dates once announced.
