Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We have answers. Find everything you need to know about your pilgrimage.

When does Kedarnath Temple open and close in 2026? +
Kedarnath Temple is expected to open on Akshaya Tritiya in May 2026 (approx. May 2nd, 2026). The exact date is announced by the temple priests based on auspicious timings. The temple closes on Diwali day in November 2026. The journey is possible only between these dates as the area receives heavy snowfall in winter.
Is the Kedarnath trek difficult? Are there alternatives? +
The Kedarnath trek is 16 km from Gaurikund and takes 6โ€“8 hours on foot. It involves moderate to steep terrain. Alternatives include: Ponies (horses), Palki (sedan chairs carried by 4 persons), and Helicopters from Phata/Sirsi helipad near Guptkashi. Go Trips helps you book all these alternatives based on your preference and health condition.
What is Char Dham Yatra and which temples are included? +
Char Dham Yatra refers to the pilgrimage circuit of four sacred temples in the Uttarakhand Himalayas: (1) Yamunotri โ€” dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, (2) Gangotri โ€” sacred to Goddess Ganga, (3) Kedarnath โ€” Lord Shiva's abode, and (4) Badrinath โ€” Lord Vishnu's temple. It is believed that completing the Char Dham Yatra washes away all sins and leads to moksha (liberation).
Does Go Trips handle government registration for Char Dham? +
Yes, absolutely! Go Trips handles all government registrations for Char Dham Yatra on your behalf. The Uttarakhand government requires mandatory registration for all pilgrims before entering each dham. We submit all documents, obtain your biometric registration, and provide you with the official Yatra pass โ€” completely hassle-free. You just need to share your Aadhaar card and a passport-size photo.
What is included in the package price? +
Our package prices include: AC vehicle transportation, hotel/camp accommodation, all meals (breakfast + dinner), government registrations, tour manager, VIP darshan arrangements, basic medical support, and travel insurance. Excluded items are: helicopter costs (if opted), personal expenses, telephone charges, porter charges, any extra meals or sightseeing, and pony/palki charges at Kedarnath (these are additional).
Is it safe for senior citizens to do Kedarnath Yatra? +
Yes! Go Trips specialises in senior citizen-friendly tours. We have dedicated support for elderly pilgrims including helicopter bookings, palki arrangements, doctor-on-call service, oxygen cylinders, and gentle pacing of the itinerary. We recommend the helicopter option for senior pilgrims aged 60+. Please consult your doctor before booking and inform us of any medical conditions so we can make appropriate arrangements.
How far in advance should I book my Yatra? +
