Char Dham Yatra Package from Solapur 2027

From the land of the Vari to the Char Dham

Solapur district is home to Pandharpur, and many families here have walked with the palkhi to Lord Vitthal. Lord Vitthal is worshipped as a form of Vishnu, and the Char Dham Yatra ends at Badrinath, one of the holiest Vishnu shrines in the Himalaya, after Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. For devotees who have done the Vari, the yatra feels like a natural next pilgrimage.

Timing needs a little thought. The Ashadhi Vari usually falls in June or July, which overlaps with the late part of the Char Dham peak season and the start of the monsoon. Most Solapur pilgrims therefore choose May, or the post-monsoon window from mid-September to October. Travel to Delhi takes about a day and a night by train, after which our Char Dham package from Delhi runs for twelve days.

Reaching Delhi from Solapur

Solapur Junction sits on a main line, and a handful of long-distance trains connect it with Delhi. Others require a change at Pune, Daund or another junction. Solapur's own airport has very limited services, so flyers usually start from Pune or Hyderabad. See Char Dham by train and Char Dham by air for how we time pick-ups.
