Best Time to Visit:

  • The Chardham Yatra generally takes place from April to November, when the temples are open. The pilgrimage season starts with the opening of the Yamunotri and Gangotri temples, typically on Akshay Tritiya (in April or May), and ends in October or November, with the temples closing for the winter.

How to Reach:

  • By Air: The nearest airport to the Chardham Yatra is Jolly Grant Airport (Dehradun) for reaching Yamunotri and Gangotri. For Kedarnath, there is Heli service from Phata or Gaurikund. The nearest airport to Badrinath is Dehradun or Haridwar.
  • By Train: The nearest railway stations are Haridwar or Rishikesh, both well-connected by rail from major cities.
  • By Road: Roads leading to the Chardham temples are well-developed, but the terrain is challenging due to the mountainous region.

Importance of Prayagraj:

The best time to visit Prayagraj is during the winter months, from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C, making it comfortable to explore the city’s spiritual and historical attractions.

This period is also perfect for witnessing major events like the Magh Mela or the Kumbh Mela (held every 12 years), offering a unique cultural and spiritual experience. Avoid visiting during the summer months (April to June) due to extreme heat.
