Chardham Yatra from Pune is one of India’s most revered spiritual journeys, taking pilgrims through the divine Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. This 10-day pilgrimage begins in Pune and travels through sacred towns and high-altitude mountain passes to reach Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
The journey starts with a train or flight to Haridwar, where pilgrims witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri and explore spiritual sites like Shanti Kunj. From Haridwar, the tour continues to Yamunotri, where devotees can bathe in the hot springs of Surya Kund and offer prayers at the temple.
Next, the route proceeds to Gangotri, the origin of the Ganga, offering panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, and continues to Uttarkashi for an overnight stay. The tour then heads to Guptkashi, a town full of temples and divine ambiance, and prepares pilgrims for the trek to Kedarnath, one of the holiest shrines of Lord Shiva, perched at 11,755 ft. Trekkers can choose to walk 16 km from Gaurikund to Kedarnath or use ponies/palanquins.
After darshan at Kedarnath, the route moves to Badrinath, where pilgrims bathe at Tapt Kund, visit Vasudhara Falls, and explore the town’s temples. The return journey passes through Joshimath, Rudraprayag, and Rishikesh before concluding back at Haridwar and finally returning to Pune.
The tour combines spirituality, adventure, cultural immersion, and the majestic beauty of the Himalayas. Pilgrims also have opportunities to explore local markets, scenic rivers, and historic ashrams. Meals, accommodations, and travel are well-arranged, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey.
