Char Dham Yatra Package from Surat 2027

The Surat plan in one paragraph

Take a train from Surat to Delhi (about 1,150 km, usually overnight plus part of a day) or a flight of under two hours. On Day 1 our driver picks you up in Delhi, and the Delhi Char Dham package runs for 11 nights and 12 days through Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, returning you to Delhi for your journey home. Hotels, breakfast and dinner, the vehicle, fuel, tolls and permits are all covered in one price.

Surat's joint families and business communities often travel twelve, twenty or more at a time. That suits a road yatra well: a 12- or 17-seat Tempo Traveller keeps everyone together and lowers the per-person cost. For very large groups we combine vehicles or arrange a coach; see Char Dham by bus. Neighbouring Gujarat cities have their own pages, and our Gujarat overview compares them all.

Package prices from Surat, 2027

Per person, twin or triple sharing, four travellers per vehicle. 2027 estimates; your quote reflects your exact dates, hotel choice and group size.

Vehicle hire for larger groups (Haridwar to Haridwar, 10 days)

Vehicle prices include fuel, driver, tolls, parking and permits, but not hotels. They help groups that want to book their own rooms. See Tempo Traveller for Char Dham for details.

Extra costs to budget for

These are paid on the spot or booked separately, and they are the costs families most often forget. Rates are approximate and set each season by the local administration or the operator.
