Introduction
Planning to go to Kedarnath and Badrinath from Mumbai? If yes, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of travellers from (Mumbai) Maharashtra and nearby states travel to these two Famous temples, Kedarnath and Badrinath.
But planning a Kedarnath-Badrinath trip from Mumbai can feel confusing. Which route should you take? How many days are enough? What will be the cost of the package? Don’t worry — in this guide, I explain everything in simple words, just like a friend guiding you.
1. How to Reach Kedarnath and Badrinath from Mumbai
There is no direct train or flight to Kedarnath or Badrinath, so you need to combine different modes of travel. Here are your options:
- By Flight: Take a flight from Mumbai to Dehradun (Jolly Grant Airport). From there, continue your journey by road to Guptkashi (for Kedarnath) or Joshimath (for Badrinath).
- By Train: You can take a train from Mumbai to Dehradun, Haridwar, or Rishikesh. From Haridwar, taxis and buses are available for the yatra route.
- By Road: A road trip is possible, but it’s very long (around 1,800 km). Many people prefer to start from Haridwar or Rishikesh instead of Mumbai.
Tip: The most convenient way is to take a Mumbai–Dehradun flight and then book a Kedarnath-Badrinath temple tour package by road.

3. Cost of Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra Package
The Kedarnath-Badrinath Yatra package cost depends on:
- Mode of travel (road trip, train, or helicopter).
- Type of hotel (budget, deluxe, or luxury).
- Type of Car ( Swift, Innova Crysta, Eartiga )
- Meals and additional sightseeing.
On average:
- Budget packages: ₹18,000 – ₹25,000 per person (by road).
- Deluxe packages: ₹28,000 – ₹40,000 per person (by road).
- Helicopter packages: ₹1,50,000 per person (by Helicopter).
Kedarnath Badrinath road trip package from Haridwar is the most common and affordable. Helicopter packages are faster but more expensive than the road package.
4. Best Time to Visit
The temples open in April/May and close by October/November (exact dates change every year ).
- May–June: Pleasant weather, but overcrowded; it takes 2 to 3 hours to queue in every temple.
- July–August: Very little crowded. Due to heavy rains, there is a road blockage, not recommended.
- September–October: Best time of the year — clear skies, less crowded, and good weather.
If you want to avoid the rush and rains, book your Kedarnath Badrinath temple tour package in September and October.
