The Chardham circuit is the most revered journey in the Indian Himalayas, and also one of the hardest to plan — permits, weather windows, pony and heli slots, and 1,600+ kilometres of mountain roads. Festigo's yatra desk has run this circuit for over a decade. We handle the registrations, keep buffer days for weather, and use our own hill-certified drivers so your family can focus only on the darshan.
