Whether your group sets out from Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot or a smaller town in Saurashtra, the plan is the same: reach Delhi or Haridwar, and we take you to Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath with vegetarian meals and a hill driver.
Gujarat sends some of the largest groups of pilgrims to Uttarakhand each year: extended families, society groups and satsang mandals travelling together, often with grandparents. Their needs are consistent, and we plan around them: pure vegetarian food, room for elders to rest, a vehicle big enough for the whole group, and a route that does not demand more walking than necessary. The Teen Dham Yatra fits well, because it skips the steep Yamunotri climb while keeping Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath.
The state is roughly 950–1,200 km from Delhi depending on your city. Groups reach the capital by overnight train or by air, and a few through trains from Gujarat continue towards Haridwar and Dehradun. Our land package begins at whichever point you arrive.
Per person for four travellers sharing one vehicle and twin/triple rooms. 2027 estimates. Travel from Gujarat is extra; the final quote depends on dates, hotels and group size.
Most Gujarat groups arrive in Delhi by morning train, so this is the plan we quote most often. Groups arriving at Haridwar skip day 1 and finish on day 8 in Haridwar.
Day 1
Delhi to Haridwar
230 km6–7 hoursNight: Haridwar
Meet the driver at the station or airport and load the luggage. Drive up through western Uttar Pradesh to Haridwar. The whole group can attend the Ganga aarti at Har Ki Pauri that evening.
Day 2
Haridwar to Uttarkashi
170 km6–7 hoursNight: Uttarkashi
Climb through Rishikesh, Chamba and the Tehri valley to the Bhagirathi. For first-time visitors the change from plains to mountains is dramatic. Evening at leisure in Uttarkashi.

Planning for grandparents in the group
Two of the three shrines on this trip, Gangotri and Badrinath, are reached by road, so elders can take darshan with very little walking. Kedarnath is the only real challenge. For older members we usually suggest one of three options: a palki carried by four bearers, a pony with a handler, or a seat on the IRCTC shuttle helicopter if the family manages to book one. Younger members can walk while elders ride, and everyone meets at the temple. A medical check-up before travel, a pulse oximeter in the bag and a slower pace on road days make a big difference.
Rooms can be requested on lower floors where hotels have them, and we keep the same hotel for two nights at Uttarkashi and Guptkashi so elders unpack less often.
Tips for Gujarati groups
Ask us for Jain meals at booking; hotels on this route can usually manage simple Jain food, with fewer choices at Kedarnath.
Bring thepla, khakhra and dry snacks for long road days.
Collect every member's Aadhaar and register them on the free portal; see the registration guide.
Kedarnath shuttle seats are sold only on IRCTC HeliYatra; read the IRCTC guide.
May and June coincide with school holidays and are busiest. September–October is calmer; see best time to visit.
The 2026 season ends in November; we are planning 2027 group departures now.

Teen Dham from Gujarat: FAQ
What is the Teen Dham price for Gujarat pilgrims?
The land package starts from about ₹17,500 per person from Haridwar or ₹19,500 from Delhi, on budget hotels for four people. Travel from Gujarat is extra. These are 2027 estimates.
Do you arrange travel from Gujarat to Delhi?
No. Guests book their own trains or flights. We suggest arrival times that fit the tour.
Can you handle a group of 30 or 40?
Yes, with several Tempo Travellers or a bus on request. Share the numbers and we will plan vehicles and rooms.
Is the food suitable for Swaminarayan or Jain followers?
We request no-onion, no-garlic or Jain meals from hotels in advance. Most can manage, but at high stops choices are limited.
Which is better for Gujarat groups, Teen Dham or Char Dham?
Teen Dham is easier on elders and shorter. If the group is fit and has 12–13 days, the Char Dham from Gujarat adds Yamunotri.
