Chardham Yatra 2026 – Opening & Closing Dates (Estimated)

Based on past years' traditions and patterns, the following are the estimated opening and closing windows for 2026:

Dham Estimated Opening 2026 Estimated Closing 2026 Decided By

Kedarnath A few days after Akshaya Tritiya Yama Dwitiya / Bhai Dooj Priests at Ukhimath, announced on Maha Shivratri
Badrinath A few days after Kedarnath opens Around Vijayadashami / early November Tehri royal family, announced on Basant Panchami

How to Register for Chardham Yatra 2026

Registration is mandatory for pilgrims visiting the Chardham temples. Travellers can complete their registration through the following options:

  1. Online Portal: registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in
  2. Mobile App: Tourist Care Uttarakhand
  3. WhatsApp: Send "YATRA" to 8394833833
  4. Offline: Registration counters are available at Haridwar, Sonprayag, and other designated locations.

Registration for each Yatra season generally opens a few months before the pilgrimage begins. Early registration is strongly recommended, particularly for Kedarnath, where pilgrim capacity and daily registration limits may apply.

Why You Should Book Your Chardham Yatra 2026 Early

Booking your Chardham Yatra package several months in advance can provide several advantages, especially during the busy May and June pilgrimage season.

  • Better Hotel Availability: Popular hotels and guesthouses near Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri can fill up quickly after the official dates are announced.
  • Better Pricing: Early booking may help you secure better package rates before peak-season prices increase.
  • Registration Planning: Booking early gives you more time to complete the required Yatra registration and plan your travel dates.
  • Flexible Date and Route Planning: Early planning provides more choices regarding departure city, package category, route, and travel dates.
  • Less Last-Minute Stress: Advance planning helps avoid last-minute difficulties with accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing arrangements.

FAQ's

Badrinath's opening date is announced on Basant Panchami and Kedarnath's on Maha Shivratri — both fall between late January and early March 2026. Yamunotri and Gangotri open on Akshaya Tritiya, which can be calculated in advance without an official announcement.

Yes. Divya Yatra accepts advance bookings based on estimated dates, and the exact schedule is adjusted once the official opening dates are confirmed by the temple committees.

Yes especially for Kedarnath. Daily darshan slots are capped by the authorities, and registrations for peak travel dates in May and June tend to fill up quickly.

Booking early gets you lower pre-season pricing, better hotel availability near Kedarnath and Badrinath, and a guaranteed registration slot before peak-season demand pushes prices up and availability down.

No. The day-wise route and itinerary stay the same — only the actual start date shifts slightly to match the confirmed temple opening dates.

Mid-May to early June offers the clearest weather and is considered the best overall window. September to early October is a good alternative with cooler, post-monsoon conditions and fewer crowds. July–August should be avoided due to heavy rainfall and landslide risk.
