Kedarnath Yatra Package from Bhopal 2027

From one Omkareshwar to another

Here is a detail Madhya Pradesh pilgrims enjoy discovering. When Kedarnath's doors close each November, the deity is carried down to Ukhimath and worshipped through the winter at a temple also called Omkareshwar. So the name you associate with the Narmada island Jyotirlinga near Indore also marks Kedarnath's winter home in the Himalaya.

Many Bhopal families have taken darshan at Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain and Omkareshwar on the Narmada. Kedarnath is the northernmost and highest of the twelve Jyotirlingas, at 3,583 m, and is open only from about late April or May to November. That short season, and the 16 km trek, are why it needs a dedicated trip. If you want to compare the walk with flying up, start with our Kedarnath helicopter booking guide.

Getting from Bhopal to Delhi or Haridwar

Bhopal is roughly 700–780 km from Delhi depending on the route, and around 900 km from Haridwar. That is too far for a road pick-up, but Bhopal sits on the busy Delhi–Mumbai and Delhi–Chennai rail corridors, so getting to Delhi is easy.

Our recommendation: take an overnight train that reaches Delhi early in the morning. Our driver collects you at the station, and you are in Haridwar for the evening aarti. For more on rail travel to the hills, see Char Dham Yatra by train.

Your Bhopal–Kedarnath week at a glance

Adding the train journeys to our five-day package, a typical Bhopal family spends about a week away from home. Here is how that week usually runs, assuming an overnight train in each direction.

If you would rather not start the yatra straight off a night train, add a Delhi hotel night before day 1. Families with elders often prefer this, along with an extra night at Guptkashi to rest after the trek.

Kedarnath package prices for Bhopal travellers

Per-person land rates for four people sharing a vehicle and twin/triple rooms. Train or flight from Bhopal is extra. These are estimated 2027 rates; your final quote depends on dates, hotels and group size.

Groups of 8–12 from the same colony or temple committee often hire a Tempo Traveller, which brings the per-head cost down; ask us for a group quote. For the full circuit, see Char Dham Yatra from Bhopal.

Not included: travel from Bhopal, helicopter, pony, palki, the Sonprayag – Gaurikund jeep, puja and lunch on Budget/Deluxe.

Advice for Madhya Pradesh pilgrims

• Book train tickets as soon as reservations open for May–June; summer demand is high.
• Keep the return train at least one evening after the tour ends to allow for hill-road delays.
• Carry warm clothes; Kedarnath is far colder than any MP winter.
• Register every traveller free at registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in or the Tourist Care Uttarakhand app.
• Pony rates (about ₹3,000–4,000 one way in 2026) are fixed by the local administration and change yearly.
• Read the do's and don'ts before you go.

Other Kedarnath options: from Haridwar, trekking tour, and Do Dham from Bhopal.
