Ek Dham Yatra Package from Haridwar 2027

The shortest way to one dham

Pilgrims have set out from Haridwar for the high shrines for centuries, and it is still the most sensible starting line. By beginning here rather than in Delhi you save a full day of driving each way, and the price drops with it. Our Ek Dham Yatra from Haridwar is a three-night, four-day loop to any one shrine: Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri or Yamunotri.

Haridwar Junction is well connected by train from most of India, overnight buses run from Delhi, and Jolly Grant airport at Dehradun is only about 35 km away. We collect you from the station, bus stand, airport or your hotel, and the car comes back to the same city at the end. If you prefer a quieter start, the same package runs from Rishikesh, 25 km up the river.

Haridwar single-dham prices for 2027

Rates below are per person for a group of four sharing a car and rooms. A couple travelling alone pays more per head because the vehicle cost is split two ways; a family of six usually pays about the same as four.

Estimated 2027 prices. Final cost depends on dates, hotel category and group size. Helicopter, pony and palki charges are extra.

Before you leave Haridwar

Arrive the evening before

Mountain roads are safest in daylight, so cars leave Haridwar at about 6 am. Reaching Haridwar the previous evening, by train or an overnight bus from Delhi, makes that easy. We can book a Haridwar hotel for the extra night.

Paperwork

Each pilgrim needs the free Uttarakhand yatra registration and a photo ID. See the registration guide. For Kedarnath helicopter seats, the only genuine seller is the IRCTC HeliYatra portal; our IRCTC guide explains the steps.

Season

The 2026 season ends in November with the closing of Kedarnath on Bhai Dooj and Badrinath in mid-November. For 2027, watch the opening dates and plan for May–June or mid-September to October (more in best time to visit). Those with Kedarnath on their mind should also read about Kedarnath hotels, which are basic in every category. Pack warm layers whichever month you go; our packing list helps.
