Teen Dham Yatra Package from Kolkata 2027

Kolkata and the Himalayan pilgrimage

Ask any Kolkata family about the Kedar-Badri yatra and someone will mention a grandparent who went decades ago, often by train and bus, sometimes on foot. Today the journey is far easier, but the pull is the same. The Teen Dham Yatra brings together Gangotri, where the Bhagirathi, the river that becomes the Ganga flowing past Kolkata, begins its journey; Kedarnath, Shiva's Jyotirlinga; and Badrinath, Vishnu's northern seat. It leaves out only Yamunotri.

Kolkata is about 1,500 km from Delhi. A few long-distance trains from Howrah run right through to Haridwar or Dehradun, which suits families who enjoy rail travel; others take a train or a flight of about two and a quarter hours to Delhi. Our land package starts in Haridwar, so you avoid an extra day on the plains if your train goes all the way.

Groups from Kolkata often travel as extended families or with neighbours from the same para. A Tempo Traveller for ten to twelve people keeps everyone together and lowers the per-person cost; tell us your numbers and we will quote accordingly.

Tips for Kolkata travellers

• Puja holidays: October is one of the best months in the hills, clear and less crowded. Book well ahead, since many Bengali travellers have the same idea. See best time to visit.

• Train buffer: long-distance trains can run late, so arrive in Haridwar the evening before day 1.
