| Seater | Ideal Group | Approx Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 12 Seater | Small family / 8-10 pilgrims | ₹20-22/km |
| 16 Seater | Extended family / 12-14 pilgrims | ₹22-24/km |
| 17 SeaterPopular | Joint family / 14-15 pilgrims | ₹24-26/km |
| 20 Seater | Community group / 16-18 pilgrims | ₹26-27/km |
| 26 Seater | Large mandal / 22-24 pilgrims | ₹27-28/km |
Family with senior citizens
Pick a 12 or 16 seater for extra legroom and fewer co-passengers; request front rows and frequent rest halts. Pony/palki for the Kedarnath trek strongly advised.
Joint family (14-15 pilgrims)
The 17 seater offers the best value per seat with a full roof carrier for everyone’s luggage and trek gear.
Temple committee / community mandal
A 20 or 26 seater keeps the whole group together in one vehicle, lowering the per-head cost and easing coordination at darshan points.
Couple or small group (4-8)
A 12 seater is the smallest tempo; for fewer than 8, an Innova/Crysta SUV may be more economical — ask our team to compare.

Why a Tempo Traveller for Char Dham Groups?
A tempo traveller beats both a car and a full-size bus for a 12-24 pilgrim group on Uttarakhand hill roads.
| Factor | Tempo Traveller |
|---|---|
| Group together | Whole family/mandal in one vehicle |
| Hill manoeuvrability | Handles hairpins & single lanes |
| Per-head cost | Lowest for 12-24 pilgrims |
| Luggage + trek gear | Roof carrier for all bags |
| Comfort | Pushback recliner seats, AC |
Road & Altitude Tips for Pilgrims
High-altitude darshan at 3,000 m+ needs preparation. Follow these tips for a safe, comfortable Char Dham Yatra.
1
Acclimatise: spend the first night at Haridwar/Barkot (300-1,200 m) before ascending to 3,000 m+ dhams.
2
Carry the oxygen cylinder we provide; Kedarnath (3,583 m) and Yamunotri trek can cause mild AMS.
3
Hill roads have hairpin bends and single-lane stretches — our drivers strictly avoid night driving above Rishikesh.
4
Pack layered woollens, rain gear and waterproof trekking shoes; mountain weather changes within hours.
5
Keep Aadhaar for mandatory biometric Char Dham registration at Haridwar, Rishikesh or Sonprayag.
6
Senior citizens should consult a doctor; pony, palki and helicopter options ease the Kedarnath climb.

Pilgrim Queries
Delhi to Kedarnath Yatra — FAQs
Q. Is the Kedarnath helicopter booking included in the tempo package?
No — the helicopter is a separate optional service (₹7,000-8,500 one way). Our tempo waits safely at Sonprayag/Gaurikund while you fly, and our team guides you on official IRCTC helicopter booking.
Q. How far is Delhi to Kedarnath by tempo traveller?
Delhi to Sonprayag (the Kedarnath roadhead) is about 430 km, covered in 2 days with an overnight halt at Haridwar. From Sonprayag it is a 16-18 km trek or a short helicopter hop to the temple.
Q. How much does a Delhi to Char Dham tempo traveller cost in 2026?
A Delhi to Kedarnath Yatra tempo charter starts from ₹42,000 for a 12 seater and goes up to the 26 seater Maharaja for the full 5 Nights / 6 Days circuit. The popular 17 seater is around ₹51,000. Price covers the vehicle, hill driver, fuel, all tolls, parking and permits; hotels, meals and the Kedarnath pony/helicopter are extra. Call 7668570551 for an exact group quote.
Q. Which tempo traveller seater is best for Char Dham Yatra?
For 8-10 pilgrims choose a 12 seater, for 14-15 the 17 seater gives the best value per seat, and for 22-24 a 26 seater keeps a large mandal together at the lowest per-head cost. All are AC with pushback seats, a roof carrier for luggage and an experienced Pahari driver.
Q. Is a tempo traveller safe on Char Dham hill roads?
Yes. Our tempo travellers are hill-spec, GPS-tracked and driven by experienced Pahari drivers who know every hairpin from Rishikesh to Badrinath. We avoid night driving above the foothills, carry a first-aid kit and oxygen cylinder, and provide 24x7 on-trip support.
Q. What is the 2026 opening date for the Char Dham temples?
Yamunotri and Gangotri open on 21 April 2026 (Akshaya Tritiya), Kedarnath around 24 April and Badrinath around 26 April 2026. The best travel windows are May-June and September-October; July-August see heavy monsoon and landslide risk.
Q. How many days does the Delhi to Kedarnath Yatra take?
This package runs 5 Nights / 6 Days, covering Kedarnath with comfortable acclimatisation halts so seniors and children travel without strain.
Q. What is included in the tempo traveller package and what is extra?
Included: AC tempo with driver, fuel, tolls, parking, permits, driver allowance, roof carrier, GPS and helpline. Extra: accommodation, meals, temple/pooja charges, Kedarnath pony-palki-helicopter, and biometric registration (we assist free of cost).
Q. Is Char Dham registration mandatory in 2026?
Yes, biometric registration is compulsory for every pilgrim, done at Haridwar, Rishikesh or Sonprayag, or online beforehand. Carry your Aadhaar card. Our team guides you through the process at no extra charge.
Q. How difficult is the Kedarnath trek and what are the options?
Kedarnath is a strenuous 16-20 km trek from Gaurikund to 3,583 m. Pony (₹3,000-4,000), palki/doli (₹8,000-12,000) and helicopter (₹7,000-8,500 one way) options are available; our tempo waits safely at Sonprayag/Gaurikund while you complete the darshan.
Q. Can senior citizens do the Char Dham Yatra by tempo traveller?
Absolutely. Choose a 12 or 16 seater for extra legroom, request frequent halts, and use pony/palki/helicopter for the treks. Our drivers are patient with elderly pilgrims and the vehicle carries an oxygen cylinder for the high-altitude dhams.
Q. How much luggage can each pilgrim carry?
One medium 15-20 kg bag per person fits comfortably, with the roof carrier handling extra luggage and trekking gear. Pack light woollens, rain gear and waterproof shoes — mountain weather is unpredictable even in summer.

What Yatris Say About Their Tempo Yatra
4.9/ 5 from 172 pilgrim reviews
“Booked an Ertiga from Triveni Cabs for Do Dham (Kedarnath + Badrinath) from Haridwar. The hill driver was a calm, experienced yatri-friendly Pahari — handled landslide diversions near Sonprayag without panicking. Affordable rate, transparent fare.”
Mukesh Garg
“Group of 12 senior citizens booked the Tempo Traveller from Triveni Cabs for Chardham Yatra. Comfortable pushback seats made the long journey bearable. Driver took breaks at every dharamshala for puja. Highly recommend for elderly pilgrims.”
Asha Devi
“Booked Triveni Cabs Fortuner SUV for VIP Chardham Yatra. 4x4 capability handled the post-monsoon road conditions in September perfectly. Driver was punctual at every aarti time and helped with priest coordination at all four dhams.”

For groups of 8 or more, a 12 or 17-seater Tempo Traveller is almost always cheaper than two cars — and dramatically more comfortable on hill routes like Delhi to Manali where the road bends every 30 seconds.
