FAQs
Frequently asked questions for yatra planning, preparation, safety, booking, and refunds.
1. Is Char Dham yatra physically demanding? Who should avoid it?
Yes, it is physically demanding. The yatra involves trekking at high altitudes in cold weather. Yamunotri requires a 7 km trek and Kedarnath requires an 18 km trek. You can take horse, pony, or palki if needed, but even that can be tiring.
People who should be careful or avoid without medical clearance:
- Those with heart problems or high blood pressure
- People with breathing or lung issues
- Anyone above 60 years with weak health
- Pregnant women
- People recovering from surgery or serious illness
If unsure, consult a doctor before booking.
2. How do we handle the yatra registration process for you?
Kindly fill the form in the contact section. Our team will contact you within 24 hours.
3. What is the best month to do each yatra?
All four dhams open in April/May and close in October/November every year.
- May and June: Best overall time, pleasant weather, high spiritual energy, but crowded.
- September and October: Also very good, clearer views and lower crowds after monsoon.
- July and August: Avoid if possible due to monsoon landslides and road blockages.
4. What should I pack for the yatra?
Keep it light but practical:
- Warm clothes (nights are very cold even in May at higher altitudes)
- Raincoat or poncho
- Comfortable walking shoes with good grip
- Water bottle
- Basic medicines: Diamox, paracetamol, antacid, band-aids
- Torch or phone with good battery backup
- Personal ID and documents
- Dry snacks like nuts and biscuits
- Small cash (ATMs are limited in hills)
5. Are there altitude sickness risks? How do you handle them?
Yes, altitude sickness is a real risk, especially at Kedarnath and Badrinath (above 3,000 metres). Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, and breathlessness.
How to handle it:
- Climb slowly and do not rush
- Drink enough water
- Avoid alcohol
- Rest after reaching each destination
- Carry Diamox only after doctor advice
- Use medical camps/first-aid points on yatra routes
- Helicopter evacuation is possible in emergencies
