Kedarnath Badrinath Do Dham Yatra 2027 – 6 Days from Haridwar

Kedarnath and Badrinath are the two Dhams most pilgrims put first: Lord Shiva's Jyotirlinga at Kedarnath and Lord Vishnu's shrine at Badrinath, both in the Garhwal Himalayas. Together they are called Kedar Badri, or the Do Dham Yatra. This 5-night, 6-day private-cab yatra from Haridwar follows the natural order of the road: Kedarnath first, then Badrinath, with the Panch Prayag confluences, Dhari Devi Temple and Mana Village on the way. It involves one long trek (about 16 km each way to Kedarnath, with pony, palki or helicopter options) and two long drive days, and we have planned the days around both. The 2027 temple dates have not been announced, so we confirm each departure after the official announcement.

Route and travel times

Distances differ by a few kilometres between maps and signboards, and times stretch in the May–June peak and after rain.

The Kedarnath leg: trek, pony, palki or helicopter

Kedarnath sits at about 3,583 metres and the final stretch (officially about 16 km; many pilgrims record 18–20 km) is covered on foot, by pony or palki, or by a short helicopter shuttle. Walking takes 6–8 hours for a reasonably fit adult. Pony and palki are booked in person at authorised counters at Gaurikund and are paid directly. Helicopter shuttle tickets are sold only on the official IRCTC HeliYatra portal after yatra registration, are released in phases and sell out quickly; we help with the process but cannot guarantee a seat. For details, read our Kedarnath trek guide, pony and palki guide and helicopter booking guide. If you want the helicopter-assisted version, see our Kedarnath helicopter yatra package.

The Badrinath leg

Badrinath is reached by road; there is no trek. The challenge is distance and altitude (about 3,100 metres). After the long Day 4 drive, the evening is best spent resting, with darshan the next morning when queues are shorter. For puja booking and fees, see our Badrinath puja booking guide; for the full 2027 plan, see our Badrinath Yatra guide.

Stays and meals

Stays are on sharing basis in hotels at Guptkashi, Phata or Sitapur, a camp or lodge at Kedarnath, a hotel at Badrinath and a hotel at Pipalkoti. Rooms at Kedarnath and Badrinath are simple and cold, and fill early in peak season. Breakfast and dinner are included, except at Kedarnath.

Dates and registration for 2027

The 2027 opening dates have not been announced. Kedarnath's date is declared on Mahashivratri and Badrinath's on Basant Panchami, both in early 2027. For reference, Kedarnath opened on 22 April in 2026 and closes on 11 November 2026; Badrinath opened on 23 April and closes on 16 November 2026. Our departures are confirmed only after the temple committees announce the 2027 dates.

Registration is mandatory and free for every pilgrim, on the Uttarakhand government's Registration and Tourist Care portal. Carry the registration letter or QR code and a photo ID. Our team can guide you once your dates are fixed. See also our Char Dham 2027 guide and registration guide.

Tips for a smooth Do Dham

• Register before you travel and carry your ID and registration letter.
• Start the trek early and plan to be off the trail by 4:00 PM.
• Carry thermals, a raincoat, trekking shoes, medicines and a power bank.
• Leave heavy luggage in your Guptkashi hotel; carry a small bag to Kedarnath.
• If anyone has heart, lung, blood pressure or knee problems, see a doctor first and consider a pony, palki or helicopter.
• Carry cash; ATMs and card machines can fail in remote stretches.
• Keep one spare day in your return plan; rain and landslides can delay the road.
• Emergency numbers on the route: 104 (medical) and 108 (ambulance); see our Char Dham emergency numbers guide.
