About this Do Dham + Tungnath
The two eastern dhams, plus the world's highest Shiva shrine
A richer take on the Do Dham that adds Tungnath — the world's highest Shiva temple and one of the Panch Kedar — along with the meadows of Chopta and the Chandrashila summit view. You still cover Kedarnath and Badrinath in full.
It's ideal for pilgrims who also love the mountains: a short but rewarding trek to Tungnath breaks up the yatra beautifully. Hotels, pure-veg meals, transfers and registration are handled.

Important Notes
Please read before booking
Yatra registration: Char Dham Yatra registration (the tourist card / biometric registration) is mandatory for all pilgrims. We help you complete it before your journey.
Kedarnath trek: Kedarnath involves a roughly 16–18 km uphill trek from Gaurikund. Ponies, palki (palanquin) and helicopter shuttles are available at your own cost. A basic fitness level is advised.
Best time: The shrines open around late April and close near Diwali. April–June and September–October are ideal; the July–August monsoon can bring landslides and road delays.
Altitude & weather: the higher shrines are at altitude with cold, fast-changing weather even in summer — carry warm layers year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you book
Tungnath is the world's highest Shiva temple (~3,680 m) and one of the Panch Kedar. It sits above Chopta and is reached by a short, scenic trek — a beautiful spiritual and mountain highlight alongside the two dhams.
About 3.5 km each way from Chopta, continuing a little further to the Chandrashila summit for panoramic Himalayan views. It is much shorter and easier than the Kedarnath trek.
Yes, weather permitting — Chandrashila is a short climb beyond Tungnath and rewards you with a 360-degree view of peaks like Nanda Devi and Chaukhamba.
Yes — this trip includes the full Kedarnath trek and darshan and the Badrinath darshan and Mana visit, with Tungnath and Chopta added in between.
Chopta is a serene alpine meadow region often called the "mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand". The overnight there is a restful, scenic break and the base for the Tungnath trek.
A little — it adds the Tungnath/Chandrashila trek to the Kedarnath climb. It suits reasonably fit pilgrims; the Tungnath section is optional if you prefer to rest at Chopta.
May to June and September to October give the clearest mountain views. During the monsoon the trail can be slippery and views are often clouded.
Yes — registration is needed for Kedarnath and Badrinath. Tungnath does not require yatra registration, but we handle the mandatory dham registration for you.
