Char Dham Yatra Package from Srinagar 2027

From Srinagar, Kashmir to the Garhwal shrines

This page is for travellers starting in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. It is worth saying at the outset, because the Char Dham route has its own Srinagar: Srinagar Garhwal, a town on the Alaknanda where many itineraries, including ours, spend a night on the way back from Badrinath. If you searched for that Srinagar, you will find it as a night stop in the itinerary below.

Kashmiri Pandit families, army and government staff posted in the valley, and businesses with roots in both regions all make this journey. Srinagar to Haridwar is roughly 770 km by road through Jammu, too far for a comfortable road pick-up, so we suggest flying or using the train and joining our Haridwar Char Dham package. If you land in Delhi and want to be collected there, choose the Delhi package instead.

Getting from Srinagar to Haridwar

1. Fly Srinagar → Delhi. Frequent flights take about an hour and a half. Continue by train or road to Haridwar, or join our Delhi start.
2. Fly Srinagar → Dehradun with a connection. Jolly Grant airport is about 35 km from Haridwar and Rishikesh; we meet you there.
3. Rail via Katra and Jammu. Trains now run from the Kashmir valley to Katra; from Jammu, long-distance trains run towards Delhi and some towards Haridwar or Rishikesh. Check IRCTC for current timings.
4. By road to Jammu, then train. A common choice for families with luggage when flights are expensive.

Whichever way you come, send us your arrival time and the vehicle will be waiting. See Char Dham by air and Char Dham by train for more details.
