About Do Dham Yatra, Uttarakhand:
The Do Dham Yatra is a 6-day pilgrimage in the Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand to two of the Char Dham shrines, Kedarnath and Badrinath. It is a shorter alternative to the full Char Dham route for people who have limited days. Kedarnath sits at about 3,583 metres and is reached on foot from the road head; Badrinath lies on the banks of the Alaknanda river, and Mana village, the last Indian village before the Tibet border, is a short drive beyond it. The plan starts with a drive from Haridwar or Rishikesh to Sonprayag on day 1, with the road following the Ganga and the Mandakini. Day 2 is the trek from Sonprayag to Kedarnath, a climb on a paved path with stops for tea. Day 3 is the Kedarnath darshan, followed by the walk back to Sonprayag. On day 4 you drive from Sonprayag to Badrinath by way of Pandukeshwar. Day 5 is for Badrinath and an excursion to Mana village. Day 6 is the drive back to Rishikesh or Haridwar. The yatra season usually runs from May to June and from September to October, as the temples open in spring and close in late autumn. Roads in this area can be blocked by landslides during the monsoon, so keep a
