Ek Dham Yatra Package from Bhopal 2027

From Mahakal country to the Himalayan Jyotirlinga

Pilgrims from Bhopal grow up close to Mahakaleshwar at Ujjain and Omkareshwar on the Narmada. Kedarnath, the highest of the twelve Jyotirlingas at 3,583 m, is a very different temple: snowbound for half the year, reached on foot or by helicopter, and open only from spring to Bhai Dooj. A single-dham yatra lets you make that journey without committing to the full fortnight of the Char Dham circuit.

Bhopal is about 780 km from Delhi, and the overnight trains between the two are frequent and comfortable. You board in the evening, wake up in Delhi, and our driver meets you at the station. From there the Kedarnath package or the Badrinath package runs 4 nights and 5 days and brings you back to Delhi for the train home.

Kedarnath is also the first of the Panch Kedar, the five Garhwal temples linked to the story of Shiva taking the form of a bull to avoid the Pandavas. When the 2027 season opens, its winter idol returns from the Omkareshwar temple at Ukhimath, a name that will sound familiar to every pilgrim from Madhya Pradesh.

Bhopal to the yatra start point

The overnight train is the clear winner for most Bhopal families: it is cheaper than flying, saves a hotel night and lands you in Delhi early enough to reach Haridwar the same afternoon. If you find a train or flight that reaches Haridwar or Dehradun, the shorter Haridwar package applies.

Prices for Bhopal pilgrims, 2027

All prices are per person for four travellers sharing one car and twin or triple rooms. Your train or flight is not included.

2027 estimates. Final cost depends on travel dates, hotel category and group size.

Tips for central India travellers

• Altitude, not heat. Bhopal summers are hot and dry; Kedarnath is cold and thin-aired. Rest at Guptkashi and drink plenty of water.
• Registration. Free and compulsory; see the registration guide.
• Helicopter. Kedarnath shuttle tickets are only on the IRCTC HeliYatra portal after registration; see IRCTC booking. Do not trust other sites.
• Season. The 2026 season is closing in November 2026; this page plans for 2027. Watch the opening dates, announced on Mahashivratri for Kedarnath.
• Packing. Thermals, jacket, rain gear, walking shoes; see things to carry.

Gangotri-only and Yamunotri-only trips also run as 3N/4D tours from Haridwar from ₹8,500, if you want a quieter shrine. Kedarnath and Badrinath together are on the Do Dham Yatra from Bhopal.
