Kedarnath Yatra Packages from Lucknow

A Kedarnath Yatra package from Lucknow offers an enriching pilgrimage experience to one of the holiest sites in India, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. Typically, these packages last between 4 to 7 days and include transportation, accommodation, meals, and guided tours to nearby attractions such as the Kedarnath Temple, Vasuki Tal, and Bhairavnath Temple.

The journey usually starts with a drive from Lucknow to Haridwar or Rishikesh, followed by a trek or helicopter ride to Kedarnath. Most packages include a trek from Gaurikund, the base point, or you can opt for a pony ride. Along the way, you’ll experience breathtaking mountain views, peaceful riverside walks, and visits to sacred spots like Chorabari Tal (Gandhi Sarovar).

Why Start Your Kedarnath Yatra from Haridwar?

Haridwar is well-connected to major Indian cities by train and road, making it a convenient starting point for pilgrims. After a visit to the sacred Har Ki Pauri for Ganga Aarti, you can embark on your journey to Kedarnath with blessings. From Haridwar, pilgrims typically travel via Rishikesh, Guptkashi, and Gaurikund before beginning the trek to Kedarnath.

Tips for Choosing the Right Package

Budget: Consider how much you’re willing to spend. Budget packages are affordable but may involve long travel times and shared accommodations, while deluxe and helicopter packages offer greater comfort and convenience.
Physical Fitness: The trek to Kedarnath is 16 km from Gaurikund, and it can be challenging. If you have physical limitations, the helicopter package might be a better option.
Travel Time: Choose a package that fits your schedule. If you’re pressed for time, the helicopter package offers the quickest option.
Group Size: Some packages are tailored for group travel, offering discounts if you’re traveling with a larger group.

Best Time to Visit Kedarnath

The Kedarnath Temple is open to pilgrims from April/May to November, with the most favorable months being May, June, September, and October. The monsoon season (July-August) can make the trek more difficult due to landslides and heavy rains, so it’s best to avoid this period.
