Why Book Your Char Dham Tour from Chennai with Us

We are a registered tour operator, licence no. UTTR/DEHRADUN/08-2019/002797. Our representative meets you in Delhi and helps you board the overnight train, and a tour manager travels with the group throughout the tour.

Good to know before you book: our catering team cannot reach Kedarnath, so meals there are paid for on the spot. Better to plan for it in Chennai than to find out at 3,583 m.

How to Reach Char Dham from Chennai

None of the four dhams has an airport or a railway station. Pilgrims from Chennai usually get to Delhi first and then continue into Uttarakhand by train or road, which is why this package starts in Delhi.

Option	What to know	Time
Chardham Yatra from Chennai by flight	Nonstop Chennai-Delhi flights run daily (IndiGo, Air India and others)	About 3 hours
Flight to Dehradun	No nonstop flight from Chennai; one stop, usually via Delhi	Depends on the connection
Chardham Yatra from Chennai by train	Tamil Nadu Express (12621) to New Delhi, runs daily	About 32-33 hours

Day 1 ends with an overnight train out of Delhi. A flight that lands by the afternoon leaves enough time. If you take the train, leave Chennai two days before the tour starts.

Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter from Chennai

No helicopter flies from Chennai. Both helicopter options start inside Uttarakhand, and they work differently.

• Kedarnath shuttle: flights from the Guptkashi, Phata and Sirsi helipads to Kedarnath. Book only on the official IRCTC HeliYatra website (heliyatra.irctc.co.in) and check any other offer carefully before you pay.
• Charter from Dehradun: private operators fly to one dham or several. This is a separate package.

Weather decides whether flights run on a given day. Helicopter charges are not part of this road package.

Char Dham Altitude and Trek Distance

.

Dham	Altitude	How you reach the temple
Yamunotri	3,235-3,293 m (sources differ)	About 6 km trek one way from Janki Chatti; pony and doli available
Gangotri	3,100 m	The road goes to Gangotri; short walk to the
Kedarnath	3,583 m	About 16 km trek one way from Gaurikund, usually 6-8 hours uphill; pony, doli, palki or helicopter
Badrinath	3,133 m	The road goes to Badrinath; short walk to the temple

The Kedarnath trek has cut-off times. As of July 2026, the Rudraprayag district administration does not let pilgrims start after 1:00 PM at Sonprayag or 1:30 PM at Gaurikund. Leave Sitapur early.

Best Time for Char Dham Yatra

Go in May or June, or between mid-September and October. Avoid July and August. That is when rain is heaviest and landslides can shut the hill roads for hours, sometimes for days.

Chardham Yatra Travel Tips for Pilgrims from Chennai

• Warm clothes: Nights at Kedarnath and Badrinath are cold even in May and October, far colder than a Chennai winter. Pack thermals, a heavy jacket, a woollen cap and gloves.
• Food: Hotels in the hills serve North Indian vegetarian meals such as roti, rice, dal and sabzi. Idli and dosa are easier to find in Haridwar and Rishikesh, so many pilgrims from Tamil Nadu carry podi, pickle and a few ready-to-eat packets.
• Health: If you have a heart, blood pressure, diabetes or breathing condition, talk to your doctor about high-altitude travel before you book. Walk slowly on trek days.
• Water: Drink water through the day. Keep ORS sachets for heavy sweating or an upset stomach.
• Book early: Book and register well before your dates, especially for May and June.
• Offline maps: Mobile signal is weak in the mountains. Download maps before you leave.
• Keep the area clean: Carry a small bag for your waste and use dustbins. Nothing should go into the rivers or near the temples.
