Haridwar to Kedarnath by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Haridwar to Kedarnath tempo traveller journey is one of the most revered Char Dham pilgrimages in Uttarakhand. Your group travels via NH7 along the Ganges through Rishikesh, then follows the Mandakini River valley via Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Guptkashi. The tempo traveller drops you at Gaurikund (1,982m), from where the 16 km trek to Kedarnath Temple (3,583m) begins — alternatively, helicopter services operate from Guptkashi. En route, stop at Devprayag to witness the sacred confluence of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers forming the Ganga. The road passes through dense deodar forests, terraced villages, and dramatic gorges carved by Himalayan rivers. At Rudraprayag, savour hot maggi and chai at the riverside stalls. Kedarnath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, sits against the backdrop of the massive Kedarnath peak (6,940m) and the Chorabari Glacier. Groups should plan for at least 3-4 days including the trek and acclimatization.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Haridwar to Kedarnath costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 225 km and about 8-9 hours of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.

Drive times are realistic door-to-door estimates in normal traffic rather than best-case figures. Hill sections and holiday weekends change them, and we plan departures around that instead of discovering it on the day.
