Route Overview

The Rishikesh to Kedarnath tempo traveller pilgrimage is a soul-stirring journey from the Yoga Capital to one of the holiest Jyotirlinga shrines, perched at 3,583m in the Garhwal Himalayas. Travel along the Ganges and then the Mandakini River via NH7, passing through Devprayag — where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda unite to form the Ganga — and the confluence town of Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini joins the Alaknanda. The road winds through terraced hillsides, suspension bridges, and tiny Garhwali villages where locals offer chai and maggi. Your tempo traveller reaches Sonprayag, from where shared jeeps ferry pilgrims to Gaurikund (the trek base). The 16 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath passes through lush valleys, waterfalls, and alpine meadows before revealing the ancient stone temple with the towering Kedarnath peak (6,940m) and Chorabari Glacier behind it. Helicopter services from Guptkashi or Phata are available for those who prefer to skip the trek. Groups typically halt overnight at Guptkashi, which has the revered Vishwanath Temple.

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.

Tempo Q&A

More about hiring a tempo traveller from Rishikesh to Kedarnath

How many hours is Rishikesh to Kedarnath by road?
8-9 hours for 230 km on NH7 (mountain road, fair to good condition, narrow after Rudraprayag, landslide-prone in monsoon, drive during daylight only). Add half an hour for one proper stop. A 6 AM start out of Rishikesh is worth more than any shortcut, because the hour you save is at the congested end.
Is the Rishikesh to Kedarnath road in good condition?
NH7 (mountain road, fair to good condition, narrow after Rudraprayag, landslide-prone in monsoon, drive during daylight only). 230 km and 8-9 hours on that. Surfaces change between visits and a page cannot know what happened last month, so the driver tells you on the day if something has — we would rather do that than print a confident sentence that has gone stale.
What towns do you pass Rishikesh to Kedarnath?
Devprayag (Ganga Sangam), Srinagar Garhwal, Rudraprayag (Mandakini-Alaknanda meet), Guptkashi (Vishwanath Temple, overnight) and Sonprayag, among others. The useful halfway mark is around 115 km. Tell the driver which of those you actually want to stop at and the day gets planned around it rather than around the clock.
When is the best time to travel Rishikesh to Kedarnath?
May to June, September to October (temple open May-November). That is about the destination rather than the road being shut — where a route genuinely closes we say so. For the journey itself an early start is worth more than any choice of month.
What is the Rishikesh to Kedarnath journey actually like?
The Rishikesh to Kedarnath tempo traveller pilgrimage is a soul-stirring journey from the Yoga Capital to one of the holiest Jyotirlinga shrines, perched at 3,583m in the Garhwal Himalayas. Travel along the Ganges and then the Mandakini River via NH7, passing through Devprayag — where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda unite to form the Ganga — and the confluence town of Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini joins the Alaknanda… 230 km, 8-9 hours, door to door at both ends.
Which charges are billed separately on Rishikesh to Kedarnath?
Four things, all billed at actual rather than estimated: tolls, parking, any state permit the route needs, and the driver night allowance at ₹300 per night if the trip keeps the driver away overnight. Monument and park entry fees are separate too where a trip includes them. Everything else — fuel, the driver, AC, and the vehicle — is inside the quoted rate, and the quote is confirmed before the booking rather than at the end of the journey.
Can I get a refund if I cancel Rishikesh to Kedarnath?
The published policy, which is the one that applies. Cancel your Rishikesh to Kedarnath booking 7 or more days before the journey and the advance is refunded in full. Cancel 3 to 6 days before and half is returned. Inside 72 hours there is no refund, and the same applies to a no-show. Eligible refunds are processed within 5-7 working days to the original payment method, and the full terms are at /cancellation-and-refund-policy. If we cancel — a breakdown, a driver emergency, a road closed by weather — you get everything back, or an alternative vehicle or date, whichever you prefer.
How much is the toll Rishikesh to Kedarnath?
Charged at actual, with the receipts available, so you pay what the road charged rather than a number we estimated. That is deliberate: toll rates change, expressway stretches are priced by distance rather than per barrier, and a quoted toll is out of date before it is useful. Where we have researched a corridor's plazas in detail, the toll-cost page for that route lists them with car and SUV figures.
Can I book Rishikesh to Kedarnath for tomorrow morning?
Call or WhatsApp +91 7668570551, or use the form on this page. You get the fare, the vehicle and the driver's details confirmed before the journey rather than on the day. Same-day bookings are taken subject to a car being free; for an early-morning pickup the night before is safer, because that is when the available cars get allocated.
Are your drivers and vehicles checked?
A verified commercial driver who knows this route, in an insured, GPS-tracked vehicle from our own fleet. Long-distance trips are monitored by the operations desk while they run. If something goes wrong mid-journey there is a person to call, not a form to fill in.
Do you issue a tax invoice for Rishikesh to Kedarnath?
Yes. Mention it when you book and give us the GSTIN, and a tax invoice is issued against the booking. Account customers can have invoices consolidated monthly rather than one per trip. A printed receipt is given at the end of the journey in every case, GST or not.
