Travelling is not simple and easy without an itinerary. We prepared our itinerary for char dham yatra well advance 3 to 4 months before going to char dham yatra. We booked our air flight and vehicle for local sightseeing according to the itinerary. While preparing the itinerary the factors considered were the dates, the days, number of stays and places of stay, time required from going one place to another place, time required to visit the sightseeing place, time required to take lunch and tea or breakfast on the road side.
We followed this itinerary strictly and our trip became successful. I am sharing this itinerary for those who are interested to complete the char dham yatra. We started our char dham yatra from Deharadum and after visiting all the char dham again reached to Dehradun.

Map of The Char Dhm Yatra.
The road journey of char dham yatra is not simple. You can not reach straight from one dham to another dham. Many times you have to come back on the same route and then can go to another dham. The speed of the vehicle is limited. This increased the number of stay. The map of the char dham yatra is produced for your information
