Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q. When is the Char Dham Yatra started?

 

A. The Kapat or the door of the Chardham temple opens on the day of Akshay Tritiya and the yatra for Chota Char Dham starts. From the month of April till October the door remains open. The door of the temple shuts again at the onset of the Diwali festival and the Doli of God and Goddess is shifted downward for the winter season. So the best time to visit the temple is from April to May, and from September to October. During July & August, the temple remains open but due to the rainy season, frequent landslides occur which makes travel difficult.

 

Q.  How can I book my Chardham Yatra Package with Travel Ride?

 

A. Going on the Chardham yatra on your own can give you a lot of problems and hassles during the trip. If you book your Chardham yatra packages through us then we offer you various choices of the hotel within your budget and will also give a hassle-free trip as we have become used to all the problems that may arise during the trip and how to tackle these problems.

A. The opening month is April to May and from September to October is the best time to go on the Chardham yatra. It is advised not to go to Chardham yatra during the monsoon months that is June and July because during this time frequent landslides occur which makes travel really difficult.

 

Q. How many days does it take to complete the Chardham Yatra?

 

A. The complete Chardham yatra can be done in the time span of 11 to 12 days. If you are having some extra time then you can also explore some attractions located in the proximity such as Gaumukh,  Auli, Tapovan, Bhairavnath Temple, Along the valley, Vasuki Tal, Hemkund Sahib, and Chopta. The Chardham yatra can be commenced either from Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Delhi as per the convenience of devotees.

 

Q. In which month does the Chardham Yatra end?

 

A. The Holy Pilgrimage tour of Chardham Yatra ends during the month of October when the doors of all four Dhams close one by one. Kedarnath and Yamunotri Dhams close on the occasion of Bhai Dooj/Dwitiya, other than this the doors of Gangotri Dham closes on the occasion of Diwali.
