9 Days Do Dham Yatra Package from Bangalore
Tour overview
Our Do Dham yatra package from Bangalore takes you to Kedarnath and Badrinath, the Himalayan abodes of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, in nine well planned days. You take a morning flight to Dehradun and spend the first night in Haridwar, then drive to Guptkashi or Sitapur, the base for Kedarnath. Darshan is by helicopter or by the 18 km route on foot, horse or doli, and a reserve day is set aside in case it is needed.
At Badrinath you bathe at the hot spring, have darshan of Sri Badrinath Ji, can perform Pitru Karma, and walk 1.5 km at Mana village to the Saraswati River and the Vyasa and Ganapathi caves. On the way down, the group stops at Yogdhyan Badri and Vriddha Badri before Rishikesh and a final morning of Haridwar sightseeing. If you are short on time but want both dhams done properly, this is the Do Dham yatra package to choose, with a 2×2 push-back AC bus, twin-sharing rooms and vegetarian meals cooked in South Indian style by our trained cooks, including customised menus for senior citizens and diabetic travellers.

FAQs
Questions about the 9 Days Do Dham Yatra
What is the difference between the Do Dham and Chardham yatra?
Do Dham covers two of the four Chardham shrines, Kedarnath and Badrinath, and leaves out Yamunotri and Gangotri. That shortens the trip to 9 days, compared with 13 days for our full Chardham yatra, while still keeping a reserve day for Kedarnath and adding Mana village, Yogdhyan Badri and Vriddha Badri.
What does the Do Dham yatra package from Bangalore cost?
The tour is priced from ₹35,800 per adult (GST 5% extra). It covers road transport, twin-sharing rooms, all vegetarian meals, entrance, jeep and auto charges, a travel kit, daily water and a tour manager. Flights, helicopter tickets, cable car rides and pooja expenses are extra. An advance of ₹10,000 per person holds your seat, and airfare is paid in full at booking.
How do I reach Kedarnath temple on this tour?
From Guptkashi or Sitapur you can fly by helicopter, with tickets booked online at extra cost, or cover the 18 km one way route on foot, by horse or by doli. A reserve day is built in, so if darshan is not possible on day 3 there is a second chance on day 4.
Is the Do Dham yatra good for senior citizens?
It is shorter than the full Chardham and has no Yamunotri trek, which can make it easier for elderly parents. Seniors can take the helicopter to Kedarnath, and menus are customised for senior citizens and diabetic travellers. Hotels at the dhams are non-star but handpicked for the best services available there.
When can I do the Do Dham yatra?
Kedarnath and Badrinath open for pilgrims around late April or May and close for winter around October or November, on dates announced each year. Pleasant months are usually May, June, September and October, while July and August bring monsoon rain to the mountain roads. Call us for upcoming departures.
