Chardham Yatra 2026 Dates and Closing in November
The 2026 yatra began on 19 April 2026 (Yamunotri and Gangotri), with Kedarnath following on 22 April and Badrinath in the last week of April. The shrines are now in the closing stretch: Gangotri is scheduled to close around 10 November, Yamunotri and Kedarnath around 11 November and Badrinath around 13 November. Closing dates are tentative and announced by the temple committees, and snow or weather can bring them forward, so confirm before you pay for non-refundable hotels. September and October are a clear, quieter window with stable roads, so book early if you want to travel this season.

Frequently Asked Questions – Delhi to Chardham Taxi
How much does a Delhi to Chardham taxi cost?
The fare depends on the vehicle (Dzire, Ertiga, Innova Crysta or Tempo Traveller), the number of days, total kilometres and travel season. Call +91-9810152565 or share your dates on WhatsApp and GoFikar sends an itemised quote that shows exactly what is and is not included, so there are no surprise charges.
How many days does a Chardham yatra by taxi from Delhi take?
A full Chardham circuit (Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath) by road from Delhi usually takes 11 nights and 12 days and covers about 1,800 to 2,000 km round trip. A shorter Do Dham trip (Kedarnath and Badrinath only) can be done in about 7 to 8 days.
Which taxi is best for Chardham yatra from Delhi?
The Toyota Innova Crysta is the most popular choice for 4 to 6 pilgrims because of its comfort and strong hill-road performance. A Swift Dzire suits 2 to 3 people, a Maruti Ertiga suits larger families, and a Tempo Traveller (9 to 16 seater) suits groups.
What is the best time for the Chardham yatra?
The two best windows are late April to June and September to mid-October. July and August bring heavy monsoon rain and landslides. For 2026 the shrines are scheduled to close in November (Yamunotri and Kedarnath around 11 November, Gangotri around 10 November, Badrinath around 13 November), but closing dates are tentative and set by the temple committees, so confirm before you travel.
Is registration compulsory for the Chardham yatra?
Yes. Every pilgrim must register online with the Uttarakhand government before travelling and carry a valid photo ID and the registration slip. Medical screening is also mandatory for pilgrims over 55 or with conditions such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes or high blood pressure.
Can a taxi go all the way to Kedarnath and Yamunotri?
No. Taxis can reach Gangotri and Badrinath by road. For Kedarnath the road ends at Sonprayag or Gaurikund and the remaining distance of about 16 km is by trek, pony, palki or helicopter. For Yamunotri the road ends at Janki Chatti and the last stretch of about 5 to 6 km is on foot, by pony or by palki. Your driver waits for you and manages the return.
Where will my Chardham taxi pick me up?
GoFikar offers pickup from anywhere in Delhi NCR, including IGI Airport, railway stations, Noida, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad. You can also start from Haridwar or Rishikesh and we can plan a drop at a different city if you prefer a one-way trip.
Are tolls, parking and driver charges included in the fare?
Your quote lists exactly what is included. Tolls, state taxes, driver food and stay and fuel are normally covered in a Chardham package, while hotels, meals, ponies, palki, helicopter tickets and darshan passes are paid by you. Ask GoFikar for the written inclusions list before you confirm.
Are your drivers experienced on Uttarakhand mountain roads?
Yes. GoFikar assigns drivers trained for hill driving who know the Garhwal routes, narrow ghat sections and landslide-prone stretches. Drivers avoid night driving on mountain roads for safety.
How early should I book a Chardham taxi?
Book 3 to 4 weeks ahead for off-peak months and 2 to 3 months ahead for May and June, when vehicles and hotels fill up quickly. Last-minute bookings are possible depending on vehicle availability, so call to check.
