13 Days Premium Chardham Yatra Package for Small Groups
Tour overview
Our premium Chardham yatra package is for pilgrims who want Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath with more comfort and a gentler rhythm. The group is kept small, 12 to 18 guests only, and the itinerary is paced with senior citizens in mind. You stay in twin-sharing AC rooms at 3 star premium or 4 star category hotels, travel in luxury push-back AC vehicles and have darshan assistance with end to end care from our Bengaluru team.
The journey starts at Dehradun airport, where our tour manager receives you, and the first evening brings Haridwar sightseeing and the Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri. Halts at Barkot, Uttarkashi and Guptkashi break up the mountain drives, and a reserve day is kept for Kedarnath. After Badrinath, Mana and a last morning in Rishikesh, you fly back to Bangalore from Dehradun. Meals are vegetarian and cooked in South Indian style by trained cooks, menus are customised for senior citizens and diabetic travellers, and each guest receives 3 litres of mineral water a day.
Seats are limited by design. Call or WhatsApp +91 973 973 1964 to ask about the next premium departure.

FAQs
Questions about the 13 Days Premium Chardham Yatra
How is the premium yatra different from the regular 13 day Chardham yatra?
The premium tour keeps the group to 12 to 18 guests, uses 3 star premium or 4 star category hotels and luxury push-back AC vehicles, and paces the days for senior citizens. It adds darshan assistance and 3 litres of water a day, starts and ends at Dehradun, and finishes with a morning in Rishikesh.
What does the premium Chardham yatra package cost?
The tour is priced from ₹1,28,000 per adult (GST 5% extra). It includes hotels, luxury AC vehicles, all vegetarian meals cooked in South Indian style, entrance, jeep and auto charges, a travel kit, drinking water and a tour manager. Helicopter tickets, pooja expenses and laundry are extra. An advance of ₹30,000 per person confirms your booking.
Is this yatra suitable for senior citizens?
Yes. It is designed as a senior citizen friendly itinerary with relaxed pacing, a reserve day for Kedarnath and customised menus for senior citizens and diabetic travellers. Yamunotri (6 km) and Kedarnath (18 km one way) can be covered by horse or doli, and we assist with Kedarnath helicopter tickets, which are charged separately.
Where does the tour start and end?
It starts and ends at Dehradun airport. Our tour manager meets you on arrival and takes you to Haridwar for Kankhal, Mansa Devi Temple and the evening Ganga Aarti. On the final day, after Lakshman Jhula, Ram Jhula and Geeta Ashram in Rishikesh, you board your flight back to Bangalore from Dehradun.
What kind of hotels are used at the dhams?
Across the route you stay in twin-sharing AC rooms at 3 star premium or 4 star category hotels with attached western-style toilets. At the dhams themselves, where options are fewer, hotels have been handpicked for the best services available in those locations.
