Darshan at Kedarnath Temple
Visit the sacred Kedarnath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is located high in the Garhwal Himalayas.
The Kedarnath Yatra Tour Package from Chennai (6 Days) offers a meaningful and memorable pilgrimage to the Kedarnath Temple, one of the most critical sites for Lord Shiva in Hinduism. It is located high in the Garhwal Himalayas.
This carefully planned tour starts with travel from Chennai to North India, usually by flight or train to Delhi, Haridwar, or Rishikesh. From there, travelers enjoy comfortable transfers through the beautiful mountain scenery of Uttarakhand.
Pilgrims begin their traditional journey to Kedarnath from the base town of Guptkashi or Sonprayag. They can either trek or choose an optional helicopter transfer for an extra charge to reach the holy shrine, which is surrounded by tall peaks and peaceful views.
During the six days, the package includes reasonable accommodations, private transfers, daily meals, and guided travel support for a smooth and spiritually uplifting experience. The focus is on seeing Lord Shiva at Kedarnath, enjoying the divine atmosphere, and leaving with blessings and lasting memories from this significant Himalayan pilgrimage.

On Day 1, arrive in Delhi from Chennai and meet our representative. They will help you before you start your journey to Haridwar, which is about 220 km from Delhi. The drive takes around 5 to 6 hours.
Once you arrive in Haridwar, check in at your hotel and take some time to freshen up. In the evening, visit the sacred Har Ki Pauri ghat on the banks of the Ganges River. There, you can witness the daily Ganga Aarti, a devotional ceremony of light, chants, and offerings to the river goddess. This ceremony happens around sunset and attracts pilgrims and visitors from all over India.
After this uplifting experience, return to your hotel for dinner and spend the night in Haridwar.
After breakfast, check out of your hotel in Haridwar and start your scenic drive to Guptkashi via Rudraprayag. On the way, you will see the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers and their sacred confluence at Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini, which flows down from Kedarnath, meets the Alaknanda River.
Continue driving alongside the Mandakini River valley until you reach Guptkashi, a vital pilgrimage town on the route to Kedarnath. Here, visit the Ardh Narishwar Temple, a unique shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva in his half-man, half-woman form.
Once you arrive, check in at your hotel and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay in Guptkashi.
After breakfast, leave Guptkashi and drive about 30 km to Sonprayag, the last motorable point on the Kedarnath route. From Sonprayag, you will head towards Gaurikund, the starting point for the Kedarnath trek (approximately 5 to 6 km by shared jeep or local transport). From Gaurikund, the uphill trek to Kedarnath Temple is about 16 km one way. You can choose to walk or use ponies or palkis as needed. The trek may take 6 to 8 hours, depending on your pace.
Alternatively, helicopter services are available at your own cost for those who want a quicker and easier way to reach Kedarnath. Helicopter flights operate from nearby helipads like Phata - Sirsi or Guptkashi and typically take around 8 to 15 minutes to get to Kedarnath, significantly reducing the travel effort.
Once you arrive at the sacred Kedarnath Temple, which sits at an altitude of about 3,584 m, participate in darshan and enjoy the serene surroundings before heading back to your accommodation.
On Day 4, after breakfast at Kedarnath, take some time to walk around the peaceful area and enjoy the spiritual vibe near the temple. Later, start your return trip to Gaurikund by hiking the roughly 16 km downhill path through the beautiful Himalayan trail. Alternatively, you can opt for a helicopter ride at your own expense for a faster and easier return to the base area.
From Gaurikund, catch a local shared jeep or taxi to Sonprayag, then drive about 30 km back to Guptkashi. When you arrive, check in at your hotel, have your meal, and relax with an overnight stay in Guptkashi.
On Day 5, after breakfast and checking out from the hotel in Guptkashi, start your scenic drive to Rishikesh, which is about 200 km away. On the way, stop at Devprayag, a sacred town where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet to form the holy Ganga.
When you reach Rishikesh, check into your hotel and relax. In the evening, go out to experience the moving Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat. After the aarti, head back to your hotel for an overnight stay in Rishikesh.
On Day 6, after breakfast and checking out from your hotel in Rishikesh, take some time to visit local attractions like Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula if you have time. Then, start your drive to Delhi, which is about 240 km away. This journey takes around 5 to 7 hours by car, depending on traffic and the route you choose.
When you arrive in Delhi, you will be taken to the airport, railway station, or your chosen drop-off location for your flight or train back to Chennai. This wraps up your memorable tour filled with cherished experiences from your spiritual and scenic journey through Uttarakhand.
