The route follows Delhi to Haridwar, Guptkashi, Sonprayag, Gaurikund and Kedarnath. After the Kedarnath visit, travellers descend to Gaurikund, return through Sonprayag to Guptkashi, and then continue to Rishikesh before travelling back to Delhi. This route combines road travel with a major trekking section.
The itinerary specifies an approximately 19 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath. On the return day, travellers complete an approximately 19 km downward trek from Kedarnath to Gaurikund. Travellers should consider this walking requirement carefully when planning the journey, especially if travelling with senior citizens or people with mobility limitations.
No. The itinerary specifically states that the transfer from Sonprayag to Gaurikund is by local jeep at the traveller’s own cost. The same arrangement applies on the return from Gaurikund to Sonprayag. This local jeep sector should therefore not be treated as part of the standard package transportation.
The itinerary mentions pony or Doli for the Gaurikund to Kedarnath sector, but pony expenses are also listed among the package exclusions. These services should therefore be treated as separate arrangements and not as standard inclusions. Travellers requiring such assistance should discuss their requirements before travel without assuming availability or inclusion.

Since the first day starts with a road journey from Delhi, the amount of local sightseeing possible depends on the actual arrival time.
Guptkashi is the main road base before and after Kedarnath. On the first arrival from Haridwar, the itinerary includes an evening visit to Ardh Narishwar Temple. Travellers stay overnight in Guptkashi before proceeding towards Sonprayag and Kedarnath, and return to Guptkashi after completing the downward trek.
The Rishikesh programme includes Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula, Triveni Ghat, Bharat Mandir and Shivananda Ashram. Evening Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Ashram is also listed in the itinerary. Actual sightseeing time may vary depending on the arrival from Guptkashi and prevailing road conditions.
Vehicle type depends on the number of travellers and final package confirmation. The Delhi–Haridwar and Rishikesh–Delhi sectors are operated by AC vehicle services, while the remaining road sectors use non-AC transportation as specified. Local jeep transfers between Sonprayag and Gaurikund remain separate and are mentioned at the traveller’s own cost.
Meal arrangements depend on the selected package category. Premium and Luxury categories are listed on MAP basis, Deluxe on CP basis, while Superior and Standard are listed on EP basis. Travellers should check the exact meal arrangement linked to their selected category in the written booking confirmation before travel.
