The road yatra takes twelve days and is what this package covers. For those who truly cannot spare the time, helicopter Char Dham tours from Dehradun cover all four dhams in a few days — at a much higher price, and subject to weather.

Haridwar is about 600 km and roughly 11 hours by overnight train.
