QUESTIONS & CLARITY

Frequently Asked Questions

When do the Uttarakhand shrines open for 2026?

Kedarnath and Badrinath open in late April/early May and close in November. Gangotri and Yamunotri also follow this seasonal schedule. Haridwar and Rishikesh are accessible year-round.

What is the difference between Do Dham and Char Dham?

Do Dham covers Kedarnath and Badrinath — the two most popular and spiritually significant shrines. Char Dham adds Yamunotri and Gangotri (the origin shrines of Yamuna and Ganga), making it the complete circuit. Our Do Dham package is ideal for those with 7–8 days available.

How difficult is the Kedarnath trek?

The Kedarnath trek is 18km from Gaurikund with significant ascent. It is moderately challenging but very manageable with normal fitness. Options include trekking, hiring a pony (₹1,500–2,000), using a palki/doli (₹5,000–7,000), or taking a helicopter from Phata/Sersi/Guptkashi.

Can helicopter services be arranged for Kedarnath?

Yes. We coordinate helicopter bookings from Phata, Sersi, and Guptkashi (₹6,000–8,000 per person one-way). Slots are limited and fill months ahead — request a helicopter option at time of booking.

What should I pack for high-altitude Uttarakhand?

Layered warm clothing (heavy jacket for early mornings), good trekking shoes, raincoat, sunscreen SPF 50+, personal medications, valid photo ID, and a small daypack. Temperatures drop to 0–8°C at altitude even in May and June.

Is biometric registration required for Kedarnath and Badrinath?

Yes, the Uttarakhand government requires biometric registration for all pilgrims visiting Kedarnath and Badrinath. We manage the registration process on your behalf — you just provide your Aadhaar or passport details.
