Taxi Services & Char Dham Yatra
The best time for the Char Dham Yatra is generally during the summer and early autumn months, when the weather is more favorable for travel and pilgrimage.
Late April to June (Spring): This period marks the beginning of the pilgrimage season. The weather is relatively mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from comfortable to slightly warm. The snow begins to melt, making the trekking paths more accessible.
Late September to Early November (Autumn): This is the second window for the Char Dham Yatra, often referred to as the post-monsoon season. The weather during autumn is cool and crisp, with clear skies and pleasant temperatures. The landscapes are vibrant with post-monsoon greenery.
Important Considerations:
Monsoon (July to September): It is generally not recommended to undertake the Char Dham Yatra during the monsoon season due to heavy rainfall, landslides, and challenging trekking conditions. The region experiences increased risks during this period.
Pilgrims are encouraged to plan their journey during the recommended time frames, taking into account their physical fitness, health conditions, and any specific travel advisories. Always stay informed about the current weather conditions and be prepared for changes in the itinerary based on unforeseen circumstances.

Char Dham Yatra is a pilgrimage circuit that includes four sacred shrines in Uttarakhand. In Char Dham Yatra four temples are visited during the tour, they are Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri.
The traditional route is Yamunotri -> Gangotri -> Kedarnath -> Badrinath. Pilgrims often follow a clockwise direction, starting from Yamunotri.
While the yatra involves trekking in some sections, alternatives such as ponies, palanquins, and helicopter services are available to accommodate the elderly or differently-abled individuals.
Weather varies as Char Dham Yatra lasts for 6 months each year. But if you consider visiting during the recommended seasons, it is generally mild to cool. It is very important to check the weather forecast regularly and be prepared for changing conditions.
During Winters from late November to April, the Char Dham shrines are usually inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, and the temples are closed for the season. Therefore, planning the yatra during winter is not advisable. However you can check the Winter Char Dham Tour and visit winter shrine of all Char Dham Temples
