The Char Dham Yatra is one of the most sacred and sought tours for Hindus across the world. It covers four holy sites in the high Garhwal hills of Uttarakhand – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Each dham is linked to deep faith and has its own tale from Hindu dharma. Doing this yatra is said to wash away sins and bring peace of mind, body, and soul.
But the routes are not easy. The roads pass through steep hills, narrow bends, and long drives. To make this yatra safe and smooth, most pilgrims choose to Hire Tempo Traveller in Delhi. From 9 Seater Tempo Traveller for small kin to 24 Seater Tempo Traveller for large groups, these rides offer both space and ease.
In this guide, we share why a Tempo Traveller is best for Char Dham Yatra, comfort and safety tips, and what you must know before you plan.
What is Char Dham Yatra?
The Char Dham Yatra refers to four holy shrines:
- Yamunotri – Source of River Yamuna, linked with Goddess Yamuna.
- Gangotri – Source of River Ganga, linked with Goddess Ganga.
- Kedarnath – One of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, located near the Mandakini river.
- Badrinath – Seat of Lord Vishnu, one of the most sacred Vaishnav sites.
Together, they form the Char Dham of the Himalayas. It is said that every Hindu should try to do this yatra once in life.
Best Time for Char Dham Yatra
The shrines open in April/May after Akshaya Tritiya and close by October/November before Diwali due to heavy snow. The best time is May–June and September–October. July–August should be avoided due to heavy monsoon and landslides.
When you plan from Delhi, a full yatra usually takes 10–15 days depending on stay days at each dham.

Routes for Char Dham Yatra
Most yatris start from Delhi or Haridwar. If you are from Delhi, you can book a Delhi to Manali Tempo Traveller style ride for long tours. From Delhi, the common Char Dham route is:
- Delhi → Haridwar → Barkot (base for Yamunotri)
- Barkot → Yamunotri → Uttarkashi (base for Gangotri)
- Uttarkashi → Gangotri → Guptkashi → Kedarnath
- Kedarnath → Badrinath → Rishikesh → Delhi
This is a long but smooth route that covers all four dhams.
Comfort Tips for Pilgrims
- Book Right Size – Never overfill. If 10 members, go for 12 Seater Tempo Traveller.
- Carry Light – Keep light woollens and small bags.
- Use Push-Back Seats – Rest during long drives.
- Carry Dry Food – Snacks and water are must for hills.
- Keep Power Banks – As some hill zones have low charge points.
Safety Tips for Char Dham Yatra
- Skilled Driver – Book only with firms that give hill-trained drivers.
- Avoid Night Drive – Hills at night may be risky.
- Check First Aid – Tempo Travellers come with kits but keep meds.
