Suggested duration (estimate)
Estimate: 9–11 days round trip including drives.
Best season
Best May–June and September–October; snowbound otherwise.
Trek, permits & access
Border-zone ID checks and forest registration apply. The taxi reaches the trek base road only — the summit and trail are on foot, and high routes require trek operators, gear and fitness. We plan the drive end, base stays and pickup.
Suggested trip starts
Common routes begin from Dehradun. We'll shape the drive, night halts and pickups around your city and dates — road conditions, weather and travel time are confirmed before departure.

Kedarnath Temple
Kedarnath, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and a highlight of the Char Dham Yatra, stands at the head of the Mandakini valley beneath the towering Kedarnath range. The final approach is a pilgrim trek from Gaurikund, and the sight of the temple against the snow wall at dawn is one of the Himalaya's most moving experiences.
Hemkund Sahib
Hemkund Sahib is a high-altitude gurudwara beside a glacial lake ringed by seven snow peaks — one of the most revered Sikh pilgrimage sites. The valley below, pushed wildflowers every monsoon, is also the gateway to the Valley of Flowers.
Tungnath Temple
Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the Himalaya, crowns a emerald meadow ridge above Chopta. The short but steep climb passes through rhododendron forest and ends with a 360° panorama of the Garhwal peaks.
Chandrashila
Chandrashila, the 'moon rock' summit above Tungnath, offers arguably the finest 360° Himalayan panorama in Uttarakhand — Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedarnath and the Gangotri group all line up on a clear morning.
