And we have listed everything right from the best time to visit to the places to see and more that will help you plan your yatra in the most efficient way.

How To Reach

If you plan to get to any of the Chardham destinations from Goa, the best way is to take a flight from the Goa International Airport to the Indira Gandhi International Airport. A round trip could cost you not more than INR 10,000. You can also get to Haridwar or Rishikesh directly from Goa. The fastest train from Goa to Haridwar is the Dehradun Express 22659. It is the most economical mode of transport and takes about 42 hours to reach Haridwar. It is inconvenient to travel via road, however, if you wish to drive then take the National Highway 52 from Goa to get to Haridwar or Rishikesh.

Best Time to Book Chardham Tour Package from Goa

The destinations of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri that make for your Chardham package from Goa are set at a very high altitude. Which means, during winters, it receives massive snowfall and the access to the main ancient shrines gets blocked. With the onset of summers, April to June enjoys a favourable climate that is apt for trekking to the temples, sightseeing and other outdoor adventure activities. These months see the highest footfall of tourists. Next two months from July to August are when the land receives rainfall. The range of mountains does protect the destinations from rain-bearing winds, however, a lot of challenges can address you even with the mildest of showers. Slippery mountain roads and landslides put you at a risk. If you want, next you can plan to visit in September and October when the weather is pleasant and the harsh winters have not yet settled in.
