Every season we plan Char Dham trips for families from Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot — many of them through our office on CG Road, Navrangpura. From Ahmedabad, the complete yatra usually takes 11–12 days: one day to reach Haridwar, nine days on the circuit and a day to return.
Getting from Ahmedabad to Haridwar
| Option | Details | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 19031 Yoga Express | Daily from Ahmedabad (Sabarmati) to Haridwar, about 24 hours. Return as 19032. | Most families — easy, all classes |
| 19271 Bhavnagar–Haridwar Express | Via Viramgam, about 27 hours | Pilgrims from the Saurashtra side |
| Flight to Delhi + road | Then 5–6 hours by road to Haridwar | Short on time |
| Flight to Dehradun | Haridwar is about 35 km from Jolly Grant airport | Elders, least road travel |

What it costs in total
Total cost = yatra package + your train or flight fare. Our group yatra from Haridwar starts from ₹17,900 per person and the private yatra from ₹18,143 (October 2026). Add your return train fare in the class you prefer, plus pony/palki and personal expenses. Read our Char Dham cost breakdown for the details.
Food and comfort for Gujarati pilgrims
Vegetarian meals are standard on our Char Dham packages. Simple Gujarati-style or Jain food can be requested — tell us while booking so we can brief the hotels on your route. Many families also carry thepla and khakhra for the long drives, which is a good idea.
Seniors from Ahmedabad
For parents above 65, we usually suggest a private tour at a slower pace, a palki or helicopter for Kedarnath, and an extra rest day in Guptkashi. A medical check-up before travel is strongly recommended.
You can visit or call our Ahmedabad office: First Floor, Office No. 3, Abhishek Complex, CG Road, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad 380054.
From Surat, Vadodara or Rajkot
Pilgrims from other Gujarat cities usually either connect through Ahmedabad for the Yoga Express, or take a train or flight to Delhi and join our Delhi departure. Tell us your city and we will suggest the simplest connection — the yatra itself stays the same.
Only 7 days? Do Dham instead
If you cannot take 12 days off, a Do Dham yatra (Kedarnath and Badrinath) from Haridwar takes 4 nights / 5 days and starts from ₹9,331 per person on a group tour. With train travel from Ahmedabad, that is about 7–8 days in total.
