Trek Information
Two of the four dhams require a trek from the road-end. Our taxi drops you at the start point — here is what to expect at each.
Kedarnath Trek
Gaurikund → Kedarnath Temple
Important: All private vehicles stop at Sonprayag. A mandatory government shuttle (₹50–100 per person) covers the 5 km from Sonprayag to Gaurikund. Pony, palki, and helicopter options are hired at Gaurikund.Full concierge guide →
Yamunotri Trek
Janki Chatti → Yamunotri Temple
No helicopter service to Yamunotri. Trek is shorter than Kedarnath and suitable for most pilgrims. Our taxi drops you at Janki Chatti.
Gangotri & Badrinath — No Trek Required
Both temples are directly accessible by road. Our taxi drives you to the temple gate. Gangotri sits on the banks of the Bhagirathi River at 3,100 m; Badrinath is on the Alaknanda River at 3,300 m.

Altitude Safety
Three of the four dhams exceed 3,000 m altitude. Kedarnath (3,583 m) is the highest point on the circuit. Pilgrims above 50 years of age must carry a medical fitness certificate from a registered doctor. Walk slowly at altitude, stay hydrated, and never rush darshan or the trek to beat crowds.
