Delhi · Haridwar · Barkot · Yamunotri · Uttarkashi · Gangotri · Rudraprayag · Kedarnath · Guptakashi · Badrinath · Joshimath · Rishikesh
Uttarakhand is steeped in ancient history and mythology, and the Char Dham — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — is the definitive Hindu pilgrimage through it. This is a physically demanding tour: two of the shrines involve a genuine trek on foot, horse or palanquin, at altitude, so pack accordingly. This is a flexible plan — dates and stops can be adjusted to suit you.
