Ek Dham Yatra Package from Surat 2027

Planning a single dham around Surat's work calendar

Ask a Surat family when they can travel and the answer is often "summer vacation or the Diwali break". Both can work for an Ek Dham Yatra, but the second needs care. Kedarnath and Yamunotri close on Bhai Dooj, Gangotri a day earlier on Annakoot, and Badrinath a little later, usually in mid-November. So a Diwali-week trip to Kedarnath must reach the temple before Bhai Dooj, while Badrinath gives you a few more days of slack.

Surat is roughly 1,150 km from Delhi. Most pilgrims take an overnight train to Delhi or a flight, and some find a train that runs through to Haridwar. From Haridwar our 3N/4D package takes you to Kedarnath or Badrinath and back. If you arrive in Delhi, we start from there with the 4N/5D Delhi plan from ₹10,500.

Surat to Haridwar: your options

Arriving the evening before day 1 is the key. Haridwar departures leave at about 6 am so that the hill drive is done in daylight. We can book a Haridwar hotel for that extra night, and it gives you an unhurried evening at Har Ki Pauri before the mountains.Read our train guide for timing tips.

Prices for Surat travellers

Per person, group of four sharing a vehicle and rooms. 2027 estimates; the final quote depends on dates, hotel category and group size. Travel from Surat is not included.

Gangotri or Yamunotri as your one dham

The two western shrines are less crowded and make a good single-dham trip in early summer. Gangotri only runs 3N/4D from Haridwar with two nights in Uttarkashi; the road goes to the temple, and Harsil and the Gangnani hot spring are on the way. Yamunotri only stays two nights in Barkot and includes a 6 km walk or pony ride from Janki Chatti, finishing in Mussoorie or Dehradun. Both start from ₹8,500 per person. Remember that Gangotri closes on Annakoot, the day after Diwali, so these are not Diwali-break options. To see both together, look at the Gangotri Yamunotri package from Surat.
