Complete Guide to Chardham (Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath) Trip Cost
The Chardham Yatra is the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage, covering four divine temples in the Uttarakhand Himalayas — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. The circuit from Haridwar covers approximately 1,600 km of stunning mountain roads over 10-12 days.
A Chardham Yatra by car from Delhi costs between ₹25,000 for budget pilgrims to ₹80,000 for comfortable travelers. The cab is the most significant expense but also the most valuable — mountain roads require experienced drivers, and Triveni Cabs provides chauffeurs who know every hairpin turn on the Chardham route.
Beyond the cab fare, major costs include accommodation along the route (limited luxury options — most stays are basic to mid-range), trekking arrangements for Kedarnath and Yamunotri, and puja offerings at each temple. The Kedarnath leg alone can add ₹3,000-7,000 for pony/palki or helicopter services.
The Chardham route opens from late April/May to early November. June and September-October offer the best combination of accessible roads, manageable crowds, and reasonable prices. Registration via the Uttarakhand Tourism biometric system is mandatory and free — plan this in advance.
