Do Dham Yatra With Gomukh Trek From Delhi

The first step will be your transfer from Delhi, with the drive taking you towards Haridwar covering about 230 kilometers of travel. It usually takes six to seven hours depending on the traffic situation. You will find that as you leave the city and move out into the countryside, you start moving from the plain areas towards the mountains of Uttarakhand. Once you arrive at Haridwar, check into your hotel and have some rest and prepare your gear for the mountain journey ahead.

Post breakfast, leave for Uttarkashi from Haridwar. It is about 201 kilometers and takes about 7-8 hours to reach as you progress further towards the Himalayas. As you travel along the road that winds through the mountains, and as the scenery changes, this is a very important transitional day before the Gangotri and Gaumukh trek. After reaching Uttarkashi, settle down at the place where you will be staying for the night.

Start the day with a road journey from Uttarkashi to Gangotri, covering approximately 103 km. After reaching Gangotri, take time for the planned temple visit before beginning the trekking section towards Bhojbasa. The itinerary includes approximately 14 km of trekking on this stretch. As you move away from the road route, the surroundings become more suited to a dedicated Himalayan trekking experience. After completing the day's trail, settle into the planned stay at Bhojbasa and rest for the next day's Gaumukh excursion.

Today focuses on the much-anticipated Gaumukh trekking experience. Begin the trail from Bhojbasa and proceed towards Gaumukh, taking in the dramatic mountain scenery along the route. The itinerary lists approximately 8 km of trekking for the Gaumukh section. Spend time exploring the destination before making your way back towards Bhojbasa. Since this is an active day at a higher elevation, maintain a steady pace and keep sufficient water and essential items with you. Return to the planned accommodation and rest for the night.

After the Gaumukh trip is over, start the return trip from Bhojbasa to the road connection point. The schedule for today involves about 14 km of trekking, followed by a journey in a vehicle to Uttarkashi, which will take about 103 km by road. Thus, your trekking part of the itinerary for Gaumukh comes to an end. After reaching Uttarkashi, check in and rest up a little after those days of continuous walking.

Post breakfast, head out of Uttarkashi and move further to reach Guptkashi. This road trip would cover around 199.6 kilometers and will take 6-7 hours. This route will give you an idea about the mountainous regions of Uttarakhand, with different landscapes throughout the journey. Upon arrival in Guptkashi, make arrangements at the hotel and spend the evening more casually. Make preparations for the Kedarnath trek.

Today marks the start of the Kedarnath part of your journey. Journey from Guptkashi to the road destination point and cover about 30 km on foot after which you need to start with the trekking part, which is about 20 km as per the schedule. Trekking takes efforts and continuous walking; therefore, you should maintain a steady pace and rest at any time of difficulty. After reaching Kedarnath, perform your temple rituals as scheduled and stay overnight.

After completing your Kedarnath visit, begin the return journey towards Guptkashi. The itinerary includes approximately 20 km of trekking followed by around 30 km of road travel. The return trail gives you another opportunity to experience the Himalayan surroundings before transitioning back to road travel. Once you reach Guptkashi, check in and relax after the long walking section. Use the evening to unwind and prepare for the final road journey towards Haridwar.

After breakfast, depart from Guptkashi and begin the drive towards Haridwar. The listed route covers approximately 173 km and takes around 5–6 hours, although actual travel time can vary with traffic, weather and mountain-road conditions. As the journey gradually moves away from the higher Himalayan areas, the landscape begins to change. On reaching Haridwar, check in to the accommodation and spend the evening at leisure. This overnight stop provides a convenient break before the final journey to Delhi.

After breakfast, check out and begin the final drive from Haridwar towards Delhi. Use this return journey to relax after completing the pilgrimage and trekking sections of the trip. Once you reach Delhi, the 10-day itinerary comes to an end. Travellers can then continue towards their airport, railway station or other onward destination as per their individual travel plans.
