How to Reach Chardham Yatra
By Air
The nearest airport to the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit is Jolly Grant Airport (Dehradun), approximately 240 km from Yamunotri, the first stop on the yatra. Dehradun is well connected to major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata with regular flights. From Dehradun, private cabs arranged by TravMe will transfer you to the starting point of the yatra. For Kedarnath and Badrinath, the closest helipad is at Phata (near Guptkashi), accessible by road from Dehradun or Rishikesh, facilitating helicopter services during the peak season (May to October) for quicker access.
By Train
The nearest major railway station is Rishikesh, about 230 km from Yamunotri and 270 km from Badrinath. Rishikesh is connected to major cities like Delhi and Haridwar. Haridwar, 45 km from Rishikesh, is another key railhead offering broader connectivity. From these stations, TravMe’s private cabs will take you through the scenic routes leading to each dham, ensuring comfort and convenience.
By Road
The Char Dham circuit is well linked by road with regular bus services and taxis from Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun. The entire route involves mountainous terrain, with roads leading to Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. TravMe’s packages include private cab transfers, allowing flexible stops and comfortable travel through Uttarakhand’s winding roads. The best time to undertake the yatra is from late April to early November when roads are fully accessible and weather conditions are favorable.
