Planning Chardham for 2026? This is your complete guide to opening dates, mandatory registration, honest costs, and booking — so you plan the yatra right, without surprises.
The Chardham temples open around Akshaya Tritiya (late April/early May 2026) and close around Diwali (late Oct/Nov). Best windows: May-June (clear but crowded) and September-October (calmer after monsoon). Exact opening dates are announced each year on the Hindu calendar — we confirm them when you plan.
Uttarakhand requires mandatory registration for all Chardham pilgrims via the official portal, verified on-ground. Given crowd-management rules, register early. We handle registration for all our guests as part of the booking — one less thing to worry about.
Book 2-4 months ahead for peak season (May-June) as hotels and helicopter slots fill fast. We handle registration, hotels, transport, darshan assistance, and Sahayata senior care. Tell us your city, dates, group size, and road-or-helicopter preference, and we'll send an honest plan within hours.
