Gangotri Yamunotri Yatra Package from Delhi 2027

Why start the Gangotri Yamunotri yatra in Delhi?

Most pilgrims who search for this trip live in Delhi NCR or fly into Delhi from elsewhere. Starting the yatra at your own doorstep removes the first headache: getting to Haridwar with luggage, elders and children. Your vehicle and hill driver collect you from home, a hotel, the railway station or the airport, and the same car stays with you until you are dropped back in Delhi seven days later.

The route follows the western half of the Char Dham Yatra. Yamunotri (3,293 m), the source shrine of Goddess Yamuna, is reached by a 6 km walk from Janki Chatti. Gangotri (3,100 m), where Goddess Ganga descended to earth for King Bhagirath, has a road to the temple gate. Both lie in Uttarkashi district, so the drives are shorter than on the Kedarnath and Badrinath side, and the whole trip fits in a week of leave.

This is the same circuit sold as the Gangotri Yamunotri tour package from Haridwar, with one extra night and the Delhi–Haridwar transfer added at both ends. If you already live near Haridwar, the package from Haridwar is a day shorter and cheaper.

Inclusions and exclusions

Night stops and hotels

Hotels in the Yamunotri area usually cost ₹1,500–4,500 a room per night and Uttarkashi ₹1,800–5,500, so the jump from Budget to Luxury is mostly about room size, views and meals. For more detail see Yamunotri hotels and Gangotri hotels.

Practical tips for Delhi travellers

Pick a start time that beats the traffic

Leaving Delhi by 6 or 7 am avoids the worst of the NCR rush and gets you to Haridwar before the afternoon crowds on the highway. Weekend departures in May and June are slower, so a weekday start is worth considering.

Season and dates

Yamunotri and Gangotri usually open on Akshaya Tritiya in late April or early May; the 2027 date will be confirmed by the temple committees, and we post it on the opening dates page. The best weather is in May–June and from mid-September to October. July and August bring landslides on the Barkot and Uttarkashi roads. Read more in best time to visit.

Registration and ID

Every traveller needs the free yatra registration, done online at registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in or on the Tourist Care Uttarakhand app. Keep the QR code and an Aadhaar or other photo ID handy. Our registration guide shows each step.

• Wear proper walking shoes for the Yamunotri trail; it is paved but steep near the top.
• Pony rates are fixed by the local administration and change each season; budget roughly ₹1,000–1,500 one way.
• Keep a warm jacket in the car; Gangotri mornings are cold even in June.
• Carry cash: ATMs beyond Uttarkashi are few and network can be weak.
• See the full packing list before you leave.
