Char Dham Yatra from Delhi
The sacred pilgrimage to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath — with experienced hill drivers and comfortable vehicles.
The Char Dham circuit is not an ordinary road trip. It covers roughly 1,600 kilometres of Himalayan road across ten to twelve days, with steep climbs, narrow stretches and weather that turns by the hour. Hira Taxi Service has been sending vehicles into Uttarakhand since 1995, and the drivers assigned to this route have run it many times before. They know where to stop, which stretches to drive early in the day, and how to pace an itinerary so pilgrims reach each temple rested rather than worn out.
