Kedarnath Travel Plan For 5 Days:
Our Kedarnath packages, lets you enjoy your pilgrimage comfortably. Below is our 5 days kedarnath itinerary.
Day 1: Haridwar or Rishikesh Arrival
Begin your journey by arriving in Haridwar or Rishikesh, where most travellers start their Kedarnath tour. Settle into your hotel and head for the beautiful evening Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri. This peaceful start gives you the right spiritual mood for your sacred Kedarnath yatra.
Day 2: Drive to Guptkashi or Phata
Start early and drive through the scenic mountain highway through Devprayag, where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers meet, and later through Rudraprayag. The drive is long but rewarding, with plenty of picturesque bends and small temples along the route. By evening, reach Guptkashi or Phata, check into your hotel, and rest overnight.
Day 3: Journey to Gaurikund & Trek to Kedarnath
At dawn, drive to Sonprayag and then further to Gaurikund by local shared jeep. Gaurikund is the last point accessible by road. From here begins the 16 km trek to the Kedarnath Temple. The trail takes you through forests, waterfalls and high-altitude terrain, offering some unforgettable mountain views overlooking the Mandakini river. After reaching the temple, complete your darshan and spend the night in a guesthouse. This is the core experience of any Kedarnath travel plan.
Day 4: Return to Gaurikund & Drive Back to Haridwar/Rishikesh
Start the morning with prayers at the temple before trekking back down to Gaurikund. Once you arrive, begin the return drive via Rudraprayag towards Haridwar or Rishikesh. Depending on your pace, you can stay the night in Rudraprayag or complete the journey straight to the plains.
Day 5: Departure
After a comfortable rest, depart from Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun with the memories of your Kedarnath trip. You can also extend your kedarnath trip package to cover more shrines including Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri.
Best Time to Visit Kedarnath
For a smooth kedarnath trip, April to June offers the best experience as this time the temple reopens and the weather remains pleasant for trekking. September and October are other excellent months with clear skies and lesser crowds after the monsoon.
How to Reach Kedarnath
By Air: The easiest way is to fly into Dehradun’s Jolly Grant Airport, which is the closest major airport to Kedarnath. From here, the road journey to Gaurikund—the base point for Kedarnath—takes around eight to ten hours through beautiful hill roads.
By Train: If you prefer trains, you can get down at Rishikesh or Haridwar. Both stations have good connectivity toward Gaurikund and Phata through shared jeeps, private taxis, and Uttarakhand roadways buses.
By Road: Many pilgrims begin their Kedarnath trip from Haridwar or Rishikesh by hiring a private cab or taking a direct bus toward Gaurikund. This is the last point where vehicles can go, and it’s also close to the Phata helipad for helicopter services.
Trek vs Helicopter: From Gaurikund, the traditional trek to Kedarnath is about 14–16 km uphill. You’ll find ponies and palkis along the route if needed. If you want to skip the trek, you can book a helicopter from Phata to Kedarnath, which takes roughly 20 minutes and requires advance booking during peak season.
Combo Tours: Travellers often combine Kedarnath and Badrinath in one journey. The usual route is to visit Kedarnath first and then continue toward Badrinath via Joshimath, which keeps the yatra smooth and well-structured.
