Day 1: Mumbai to Delhi – Train Journey Begins

We begin our journey from Mumbai to Delhi by train. Please report to the designated station at least 1 hour before departure to avoid any last-minute rush. It’s the perfect time to meet your fellow travellers, settle in, and get excited for the week ahead!

Overnight Train Travel. Important: Kindly check your train ticket details with our team in advance.

Day 2: Arrive in Delhi and Transfer to Haridwar

Upon arrival in Delhi, we board our private bus and begin the journey to Haridwar. After checking into the hotel and freshening up, we step out to explore the spiritual charm of this holy city. In the evening, we attend the iconic Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri—a magical and moving experience.

Dinner will be early so we can rest well for the next day. Overnight Stay at a hotel in Haridwar.

Day 3: Haridwar to Guptkashi – Scenic Drive & Devprayag Stop

Today, we drive towards Guptkashi, a charming town in the Garhwal Himalayas. En route, we stop at Devprayag, the sacred confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers that together form the Ganga. It’s a spiritually rich and picturesque spot to pause. After lunch at Srinagar, we continue our journey and aim to reach Guptkashi by evening. Overnight stay in a hotel/guesthouse in Guptkashi.

Day 4: Guptkashi to Kedarnath – The Trek Begins

We start early (around 4:00 AM) and head to Gaurikund via Sonprayag to begin the 16 km trek to Kedarnath. Carry a light daypack with water, snacks, dry fruits, cash, and an extra layer.

Once at Kedarnath, visit the Kedarnath Temple and Bhairav Temple. You may attend the evening or next morning’s Aarti.

For those using Heli Services: Reach the helipad by cab (at own expense), board your flight, complete darshan, and reunite with the group at Kedarnath. Overnight stay in dorms near the temple.

Day 5: Kedarnath to Guptkashi – Return Trek

After a spiritually fulfilling time at Kedarnath, we begin our descent back to Guptkashi. Take it easy—it’s a long but beautiful return journey. Once everyone returns, we regroup in Guptkashi and rest for the night. 

Note: If you’ve booked return Heli Service, it should be scheduled for today. Overnight at hotel/guesthouse in Guptkashi.

Day 6: Guptkashi to Rishikesh – Downhill Drive & Riverside Stay

We begin our drive around 8:00 AM, descending from the Himalayas toward Rishikesh. It’s a long travel day, so we take it slow and enjoy the scenic descent. By late evening, we reach Rishikesh and check into our hotel/riverside camps. After settling in, it’s time to unwind after the long ride — enjoy the peaceful river vibes, a cosy bonfire, and a hearty dinner under the stars. If time and energy permit, you can take a walk or a short rickshaw ride to Ram Jhula, one of Rishikesh’s iconic suspension bridges, to enjoy the calm night view. 

Note: Keep your bags packed and rest well tonight, as we’ll depart for Delhi at 7am the next morning.

Day 7: Rishikesh to Delhi – Train Back to Mumbai

We check out early in the morning and board our bus back to Delhi. By the afternoon, we reach the railway station and board our 4:30 PM train to Mumbai, bringing an end to a journey filled with divine energy, memories, and new friendships. Overnight Train Travel.
