Do Dham Yatra Packages: Kedarnath and Badrinath: how this trip works

The Do Dham Yatra is the shorter version of the Char Dham, covering Kedarnath and Badrinath. It suits pilgrims with limited time who want the two best-known Himalayan shrines.

Kedarnath involves a trek or an air service, so the way you reach it largely decides the cost and the effort.
