Kedarnath Yatra Package from Delhi 2027

Delhi to Kedarnath: the journey in numbers

There is no road to Kedarnath temple. Cars from Delhi go as far as Sonprayag, about 455 km away; a shared jeep covers the 5 km to Gaurikund, and the last 16 km is a mountain trail climbing to 3,583 m. Splitting that into comfortable stages is what turns a punishing dash into a proper pilgrimage.

Helicopter shuttles from Phata, Sersi or Guptkashi replace the last two stages with a short flight, but seats are limited and sold only on the IRCTC HeliYatra portal. For a full comparison of trek and flight, read Kedarnath helicopter ticket from Delhi.

Pick-up across Delhi NCR, and which vehicle to choose

Your driver collects you from home, a hotel, New Delhi or Hazrat Nizamuddin station, Anand Vihar ISBT or the airport. Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad are all covered at no extra cost. We suggest a 6 am start so you are past Ghaziabad before the morning rush.

• Sedan (Dzire): best for two or three people with light bags.
• Ertiga: a compact seven-seater for four or five on a budget.
• Innova Crysta: the favourite for families of four to six, especially with elders; more legroom and a smoother ride on bends.
• Tempo Traveller: for office teams, temple groups and extended families of 8–12.

Per-person prices fall as more people share a car. Ask for a quote for your exact group; the Kedarnath yatra by car page explains vehicle hire in more detail.
