The Kedarnath Badrinath Do Dham Yatra brings together two of Uttarakhand’s most revered Himalayan shrines in one well-paced 7-day journey. Starting from Haridwar and moving through Guptkashi, Kedarnath , Joshimath, and Badrinath, this itinerary is designed for pilgrims and families who want a deeper spiritual experience without rushing between temples. Scenic drives along the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers, comfortable halts in hill towns, and time for darshan at both Dhams make this route a balanced blend of devotion and mountain travel. The schedule respects typical driving hours in the region and allows space for rest, acclimatization, and quiet reflection.
