Do Dham Yatra from Hyderabad 2027

Hyderabad to the two Himalayan dhams

Telugu-speaking pilgrims have a long tradition of Himalayan yatras, and Kedarnath and Badrinath together form the trip most families from Hyderabad and Secunderabad ask us about. The city is roughly 1,550 km from Delhi, a little over two hours by air. Once you land, everything else is a road journey through the Garhwal hills.

Our Do Dham land package runs for 6 nights and 7 days from Delhi. A private car with an experienced hill driver stays with you throughout, hotels are pre-booked at Haridwar, Guptkashi, Kedarnath, Badrinath and Srinagar Garhwal, and breakfast and dinner are included. Below you will find a realistic budget for the whole trip, not only our part of it.

What the whole trip costs: a budget guide

The land package is the biggest single cost, but there are other items every family should plan for. Use this table as a checklist; amounts are per person and approximate.

You will need either a pony or a helicopter ticket, not both, unless you walk. All figures are 2027 estimates or recent rates; the final package quote depends on dates, hotels and group size.

Land package by category

Flying or taking the train

Flights between Hyderabad and Delhi are frequent and take about two hours fifteen minutes. If you can find a reasonable fare to Dehradun, the shorter Haridwar package applies and saves a day of driving.

Trains take roughly a day and a night to Delhi. They suit larger families travelling on a budget, as long as the extra days are available. Read the Char Dham by train guide for booking advice.

   Back to Delhi

   About 360 km10–11 hoursNight: Tour ends

   A full day's drive back through Rishikesh and Haridwar to Delhi. We drop you at the airport, station or a hotel. Book the flight to Hyderabad for late night or the next morning.

Choosing your travel month

The temples open in late April or early May and close in November; the 2027 dates are announced in early spring and published on our opening dates page. For Hyderabad families, the summer holidays in May and early June are the obvious choice, but they coincide with the heaviest crowds and the highest hotel rates. If you can travel between mid-September and mid-October, you get washed-clean skies after the monsoon, shorter darshan queues and easier hotel availability, with Dasara holidays sometimes falling in the same window.

Avoid July and August. Heavy rain triggers landslides on the hill roads, and the Kedarnath trail can be slippery and dangerous. Late October is beautiful but cold, and Kedarnath closes on Bhai Dooj, so time Diwali trips carefully. Our month-by-month best time to visit guide goes into more detail.

Inclusions

Tips for Telangana and Andhra pilgrims

• Book flights only after hotels are confirmed; Kedarnath rooms are the bottleneck in May and June.
• Register on the free yatra registration portal before travel.
• Helicopter seats are released on the IRCTC HeliYatra portal; read how it works and ignore social media sellers.
• Carry warm clothes; even summer nights at Kedarnath and Badrinath are cold. Use our packing list.
• Andhra Pradesh pilgrims can also see Do Dham from Visakhapatnam.
• Rice-based meals are available, but Andhra-style food is not; carry pickles and podis.
