Do Dham Yatra Package with Tungnath Chopta From Lucknow (GDDTCL)

Lucknow to the Himalayan Route of Kedarnath and Badrinath

The Do Dham Yatra with Tungnath Chopta Group Tour Package From Lucknow takes travellers from Uttar Pradesh into the Garhwal Himalayas, covering Kedarnath and Badrinath along with Chopta and Tungnath.

The journey begins with the Lucknow to Delhi connection and continues towards Haridwar and Rishikesh. Once the route enters Uttarakhand, the landscape gradually changes from the plains to mountain valleys and winding roads. Devprayag, Rudraprayag and Guptkashi become key stages before the group reaches the Kedarnath route.

What makes this itinerary different from a straightforward Do Dham tour is the addition of Chopta and Tungnath between the Kedarnath and Badrinath sections. The result is a journey that combines temple darshan, trekking and Himalayan sightseeing.

First Stop: Haridwar and the Ganga

After reaching Delhi, the group continues towards Haridwar. The itinerary includes a visit to Har Ki Pauri and time to attend Ganga Aarti before moving towards Rishikesh.

The next stretch takes the group deeper into Uttarakhand. From Rishikesh, the road continues through Devprayag towards Rudraprayag or Guptkashi, with route stops including Dhari Devi and Rudraprayag Sangam.

The journey then proceeds towards Sitapur, preparing travellers for the first substantial trek of the trip.

Walking the Kedarnath Route

The Kedarnath section begins from the Sitapur area. From here, travellers undertake an approximately 22 km trek towards Kedarnath.

The trek can be completed on foot, while horse or doli services can be selected at the traveller's own cost, subject to local availability.

After reaching Kedarnath, the itinerary allows time for temple darshan, Shankaracharya Samadhi and the evening Aarti. The overnight stay is arranged in the Kedarnath region according to the package plan.

Because this is a demanding mountain section, travellers should prepare with suitable footwear, comfortable clothing and the essentials required for a long trekking day.

A New Landscape After Kedarnath

The following morning starts with an early Kedarnath Temple darshan before the group begins its descent.

The trek continues towards Gaurikund, with the itinerary including the hot spring area. After reaching Sitapur, the road journey resumes towards Chopta.

This section creates a clear transition in the trip. The Kedarnath portion is centred around a long trek and temple visit, while Chopta introduces a quieter mountain setting and prepares travellers for the next trekking experience at Tungnath.

Chopta to Tungnath

After spending the night around Chopta, the morning begins with sunrise and breakfast.

The group then starts the approximately 5 km trek towards Tungnath Temple. The trail provides another opportunity to explore the Himalayan landscape on foot, with the surroundings changing as the route climbs higher.

Chandrashila is available as an optional extension when weather and local conditions permit. Travellers should make the decision based on the conditions at the time of the trek.

After completing the Tungnath section, the journey continues towards Pipalkoti or Joshimath for an overnight stay.

Badrinath and the Mana Village Experience

The next stage takes the group towards Badrinath.

The itinerary includes Tapt Kund and Badrinath Temple darshan. After the temple visit, the group proceeds towards Mana Village, where sightseeing includes Vyas Gufa, Ganesh Gufa, Bhim Pul and the Saraswati River region.

The Mana Village circuit adds variety to the Badrinath section by taking travellers beyond the temple area and into the surrounding upper Himalayan landscape.

What to Consider Before Starting From Lucknow

This journey includes both long-distance travel and demanding mountain sections, so preparation can make the experience more comfortable.

Comfortable trekking shoes with good grip are recommended for the Kedarnath and Tungnath trails. Carry warm layers for the higher areas and rain protection for changing mountain weather. A lightweight daypack is also useful during trekking days.

Travel dates should be selected after checking the temple opening schedules and expected weather conditions. May and June are part of the main travel season, while September and October are another period to consider after the monsoon.

During July and August, rainfall can affect road conditions and travel schedules. Before departure, check the latest temple information, weather forecast, road status and local advisories.
