Hi All,
We are 6 family members me(26yrs),my mom,dad(around 55 yrs) and my cousin(25), and his mom dad(around 60yrs) planning to go on CharDham yatra in first week of October this year. We have 12 days after reaching Haridwar to get back to Mumbai. Also we want to cover Haridwar,Rishikesh and especially Kedar,BadriNath and Gangotri, Yamunotri. We want to hire any vehicle(Innova/Qualis/Tavera etc.) from Haridwar and visit all the places. To do confortable budget and economy journey i need ur valuable advice on following things: 1. How much it will charge for Vehicle for 10 days for 6 people? 2. Where we should stay on the way in our journey? 3. What all things we should keep with us other than regular baggage like blanket or torch etc.?? 4. Will ICICI ATM available in the journey?? 5. Should we book hotels prior to rearch there or on the spot?? Also what are general hotel/lodge/Ashram charges to stay per night /person? 6. What are charges for Kundi/Palki for our Mom/Dad in Yamnotri/Kedarnath?? 7. Any especial medicine that is needed there like cold related ?? 8. Please provide me any tour and travel agent ph numbers whom u think is genuine to take vehicle from Haridwar or Rishikesh. 9.Also please provide me any good lodge/Ashram details to stay in Haridwar because initial 1-2 days we will stay in Haridwar and visit Rishikesh also. Is 10-12 days sufficient for the comfortable travel( keeping in mind that we are travelling with our parents for chardham in winter season) or i should make some changes in the plan. Last and final thing i want to know is according to you how much this tour will cost me including Travelling(Vehicle) from Haridwar till we reach to Haridwar after visiting all the places + Hotel Rooms + Lunch/Dinner/Breakfast etc. so that i will be ready with that much budget. Any other suggestions / advice is welcome to make our journey a pleasant memory. Thanks in Advance Avinash Dubey |

Have seen PNB and SBI ATMs even in Badrinath. Srinagar also has ATMs. Cash withdrawal should not be a problem, although it's best to be a little bit stacked up....I had ended up earlier in a situation where my extended family was there, and the ATM was there, and the cash was there in my account..but Alas.....

btw.. as someone mentioned, October is going to be a bargain in terms of hotel and transport rates.

hi avinash how are you ... welcome to uttarakhand..
i am vikram from dehradun and i am very much aware about the char dham yatra.. you can easily make it possible in 10 days. and about taxi -- you will get taxi around 17,000rs to 22,000rs it depends which cab you look for ,,sumo or scorpio.. tavera and in that amount everyting will be included (fuel+fare+driver expences).. you have enough time manage the things.. have a nice journey... |
