This compact 6-day air-package provides an immersive Himalayan pilgrimage, combining the spiritual sanctity of the Haridwar and Rishikesh Ganga Aartis with the profound energy of the Kedarnath Jyotirlinga.

Spiritual & Scenic Highlights
Shri Kedarnath Temple Nestled at an altitude of 3,583 meters against the majestic backdrop of snow-capped peaks, this 8th-century stone temple is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas. It is where Lord Shiva is worshipped in his hump form (Sadashiva), representing a site of immense penance and divine liberation.

Ganga Aarti (Har Ki Pauri & Rishikesh) Experience the ethereal evening ritual where massive brass lamps are lit and Vedic hymns are chanted on the banks of the sacred Ganges. At Haridwar, it symbolizes a vibrant offering to the river, while at Rishikesh, the experience is profoundly serene, often occurring at the peaceful Parmarth Niketan.

Devprayag Confluence The celestial point where the emerald waters of the Alaknanda meet the turquoise Bhagirathi, taking the unified name "Ganga" from here onward. It is considered one of the five holiest confluences (Panch Prayag) and marks the literal origin of the holy Ganges.

Guptkashi & Rishikesh Suspensions Guptkashi, the "Hidden Varanasi," is home to ancient Vishwanath and Ardhnareshwar temples, while Rishikesh offers the iconic walks across Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula, suspension bridges that provide panoramic views of the turquoise river and temple-dotted hills.

Shri Kedarnath Temple: Seek blessings at one of the 12 sacred Jyotirlingas, where Shiva manifested as a bull's hump to the Pandavas.
Ganga Aarti (Haridwar): Witness the electric evening ritual at Har Ki Pauri where massive brass lamps light the sacred riverbank.
Triveni Ghat (Rishikesh): Experience the serene confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers during a soul-stirring evening prayer.
Devprayag Confluence: Visit the exact geographical birthplace of the Ganges, where turquoise Alaknanda and emerald Bhagirathi rivers merge.
Guptkashi (Hidden Kashi): Explore ancient Vishwanath and Ardhnareshwar temples believed to be where Shiva hid before going to Kedarnath.
Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi: Pay respects at the final resting place of the 8th-century seer located peacefully behind the main temple.
Gaurikund: Start the trek at this holy hot spring, considered the site of Goddess Parvati's penance to win over Lord Shiva.

Age Limit: There is no official "cap," but it is generally recommended for those aged 7 to 75 years.

Health Check-up: A fitness certificate is mandatory for pilgrims above 50 years (or those with heart/respiratory issues). Facilities are available at Phata and Gaurikund for check-ups, but it is best to consult your local doctor before leaving Bangalore.

How long does the 16km trek take?

Timing: The trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath usually takes 6 to 8 hours for fit individuals.

How do I book helicopter tickets?

Official Booking: Helicopter services are strictly managed via the IRCTC portal (heliyatra.irctc.co.in).

Availability: Slots open roughly 2-3 months before the season. Due to high demand, they often fill up within minutes, so early booking is critical. Char Dham registration is required before you can book a flight.
