FAQs
Who will be driving the cab during the Kedarnath Yatra ?
Your cab will be handled by an experienced driver who has spent years navigating Uttarakhand’s mountain roads. Since these routes are narrow, steep, and full of sharp bends, a driver familiar with these conditions ensures a safer and far less stressful journey.
What is the cost of horse and palki services?
Horse rides generally cost around ₹1,500–₹2,500 per person one way, while palki services typically range from ₹3,000–₹5,000 one way. Rates may vary slightly each season, so it’s best to check current prices before travel.
Is this package suitable for families with children?
Which mobile network works best in Kedarnath ?
BSNL is your best bet — it holds up well near the temple and along most of the trek route. Jio works only in patches around the base camp, Airtel is decent at Guptkashi and Sonprayag but fades higher up, and Vi (Vodafone Idea) is very unreliable at altitude. If staying connected matters, pick up a BSNL SIM before heading out.
Why should I book my trip with Abhijay Travel instead of doing it myself ?
Planning a trip yourself means handling flights, transfers, hotels, and sightseeing logistics on your own — and sorting out any issues along the way. With Abhijay Travel, we manage all of this for you, backed by local knowledge that helps avoid common travel pitfalls. You get a well-organized, hassle-free trip while we handle the details.
Is the package customizable?
Yes, the package can be customized according to group size, hotel preference, and travel dates.
Are there any hidden charges in the package ?
No, there are no hidden costs. Toll, parking, fuel, and driver allowance are all included, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you confirm your booking.
What kind of support and logistics handling can I expect during the trip ?
You get personalised support from the day you book until you’re safely back home. Airport pickup, hotel check-ins, shuttle transfers, and trek day logistics are all lined up and confirmed in advance, with planning tested for real mountain conditions.
What kind of hotels are provided?
Hotels are provided according to the selected category such as Budget, Deluxe, or Premium.
What kind of food will I get during the Kedarnath Yatra ?
Food is simple, fresh, and vegetarian throughout the journey. Lower-altitude stops like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Guptkashi, and Phata offer better meal variety, while near Kedarnath, expect basic hot meals, tea, snacks, and simple vegetarian dishes. Breakfast and dinner are included in this package, and it’s wise to carry light snacks during the trek.
What should I carry for Kedarnath Yatra?
Carry warm clothes, trekking shoes, raincoat, personal medicines, ID proof, and power bank for a comfortable journey.
Is mobile network available in Kedarnath?
Limited mobile connectivity is available. Jio and BSNL generally work better in Himalayan regions.
What documents do I need ?
You can register online at registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in, or at physical counters in Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Sonprayag (our team also assists with this). You’ll need any one original government photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Passport), one passport-size photo, and a medical fitness certificate is advised for pilgrims above 60. Registration is completely free, and every pilgrim must register individually.
How difficult is the Kedarnath trek?
It’s a moderately difficult trek of about 16-18 km, with high altitude and steep climbs making it tiring for some. Fit individuals can manage it, while seniors or those with health issues can opt for pony, palki, or helicopter instead.
What is the best time to visit Kedarnath ?
The best time for Kedarnath Yatra is usually from May to June and September to October, when weather conditions are more favorable for travel and trekking.
Are helicopter tickets included ?
No, helicopter charges are not included in the package cost.
Where will travelers stay near Kedarnath?
Accommodation near Kedarnath is usually available in camps, lodges, guest houses, or dharamshalas depending on availability.
