Planning the Char Dham Yatra 2027? One of the first things every pilgrim wants to know is when the temples of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath will open.
As of now, the official Char Dham opening and closing dates for 2027 have not been announced.
For this reason, ABD Holidays is not publishing guessed or predicted exact dates. This page will be updated as soon as the respective temple authorities officially announce the 2027 schedule.
If you are planning your journey in advance, you can prepare your itinerary, travel route and accommodation preferences, but avoid treating unofficial dates circulating online as confirmed.
The official opening dates for the four Char Dham temples are currently awaited.
| Temple | Opening Date 2027 | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| Yamunotri Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
| Gangotri Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
| Kedarnath Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
| Badrinath Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
Important: We will update this table when the respective authorities officially announce the dates.
Travellers should avoid finalising non-refundable bookings solely on the basis of predicted opening dates.
The exact closing dates for the 2027 pilgrimage season are also awaited.
| Temple | Closing Date 2027 | Current Status |
|---|---|---|
| Yamunotri Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
| Gangotri Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
| Kedarnath Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
| Badrinath Temple | Official Date Awaited | Not officially announced |
Closing dates are determined according to the traditions and religious procedures associated with each shrine.
This page will be updated after official announcements.
The exact starting date of the Char Dham Yatra 2027 should be considered confirmed only after the temple opening schedules are officially announced.
The four shrines do not necessarily open on the same date.
Traditionally, the pilgrimage is undertaken in this sequence:
Yamunotri → Gangotri → Kedarnath → Badrinath
If you are planning the complete pilgrimage, explore our Char Dham Yatra 2027 Packages for route, itinerary, transport and travel-planning information.
You may find websites or social-media posts showing predicted Char Dham opening dates months before the official announcements.
At ABD Holidays, we prefer not to present an estimated date as though it were confirmed.
Temple opening schedules are connected with religious traditions and formal announcements by the respective authorities.
For travellers, the difference between a predicted date and an officially announced date can affect:
Hotel bookings
Flight and train tickets
Taxi arrangements
Group departures
Helicopter planning
Char Dham registration
Leave and holiday schedules
Therefore, until the official 2027 dates are announced, this guide will display “Official Date Awaited.”
Current Status: Official Date Awaited
Yamunotri is traditionally the first shrine visited during the Uttarakhand Char Dham pilgrimage.
Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, the temple is located in Uttarkashi district. Pilgrims generally travel by road up to the Janki Chatti area and complete the final journey towards Yamunotri on foot or through locally available assisted travel options, subject to prevailing rules and conditions.
Before travelling, check:
Official temple opening status
Char Dham registration requirements
Weather forecast
Road conditions
Local administration advisories
Trek conditions
Do not plan your arrival solely around an unofficial opening date.
Current Status: Official Date Awaited
Gangotri is dedicated to Goddess Ganga and is one of the four sacred destinations of the Char Dham Yatra.
Unlike the trekking sections associated with Yamunotri and Kedarnath, Gangotri Temple is normally approached by road.
The journey towards Gangotri passes through the beautiful upper reaches of Uttarkashi district.
Travellers should confirm:
Official opening date
Registration requirements
Road status
Weather conditions
Accommodation availability
Once the official Gangotri opening date for 2027 is announced, this section will be updated.
Current Status: Official Date Awaited
Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and one of the most important destinations of the Char Dham Yatra.
The temple is situated in the high Himalayas, and the final approach involves a mountain journey from the Gaurikund side.
Because Kedarnath travel involves altitude, trekking conditions, weather and substantial pilgrim movement, travellers should plan carefully.
For detailed seasonal guidance, read our Best Time to Visit Kedarnath guide.

Current Status: Official Date Awaited
Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is the final shrine in the traditional Char Dham pilgrimage sequence.
Badrinath is accessible by road, but travellers still need to account for Himalayan weather, traffic conditions and possible travel restrictions.
The official Badrinath opening date for 2027 has not yet been announced.
For weather and seasonal planning, read our Best Time to Visit Badrinath.
You can also check our Badrinath Weather Month by Month 2027 guide for temperature, rain and seasonal conditions.
The Char Dham pilgrimage traditionally follows the sequence:
1. Yamunotri
2. Gangotri
3. Kedarnath
4. Badrinath
However, travellers should not convert this traditional sequence into predicted calendar dates.
For 2027, wait for the official announcements before treating any specific opening date as confirmed.
For example, you can decide:
Road or helicopter journey
Number of travellers
Approximate travel month
Hotel category
Vehicle requirement
Starting point
Number of days available
Whether senior citizens or children are travelling
However, be careful with non-refundable bookings until the dates relevant to your itinerary are officially confirmed.
A complete Char Dham Yatra by road allows pilgrims to experience the traditional Himalayan route covering all four shrines.
A typical journey from Haridwar travels through different parts of Uttarakhand before returning after Badrinath.
Travellers interested in the complete road journey can explore our Char Dham Yatra by Road.
Road journeys require adequate time for:
Mountain driving
Temple darshan
Kedarnath and Yamunotri trekking sections
Rest
Weather-related delays
Traffic during peak pilgrimage periods
Keeping some flexibility in the itinerary is especially useful in Himalayan travel.
Travellers with limited time may also consider a helicopter-based Char Dham itinerary.
Helicopter journeys are highly dependent on operational permissions, weather conditions and the rules applicable during the particular pilgrimage season.
For itinerary details, visit our Char Dham Yatra by Helicopter.
Do not assume that a package enquiry or tentative itinerary means that every helicopter sector is operationally confirmed.
Always check the applicable booking and operational conditions for the 2027 season.
Registration is an important part of Char Dham journey planning.
The 2027 registration schedule, process and applicable rules should be followed according to the instructions issued for the 2027 pilgrimage season.
Do not assume that every procedure from an earlier year will remain unchanged.
Once the 2027 registration process is officially available, travellers should carefully verify:
Registration start date
Required documents
Traveller details
Verification procedure
Applicable travel rules
Any changes announced for the season
For detailed information, visit our Char Dham Registration 2027 Guide.
The opening date and the best time to undertake the Char Dham Yatra are not necessarily the same thing.
Opening weeks can attract a large number of pilgrims. Later periods can offer different weather and crowd conditions, while monsoon travel requires additional caution.
Your travel period should therefore be selected after considering:
Weather
Crowd levels
Age of travellers
Physical fitness
Trekking requirements
Road conditions
Available travel days
Personal comfort
Do not select a departure date only because it is close to the temple opening.
Weather can change quickly in Uttarakhand's Himalayan regions.
Even during the regular pilgrimage season, travellers may experience:
Cold mornings and nights
Rain
Cloud cover
Sudden temperature changes
Traffic delays
Temporary road restrictions
Weather-related helicopter delays
Warm clothing should therefore remain part of your packing even when travelling during comparatively warmer months.
Senior citizens can undertake the Char Dham Yatra, but the itinerary should be planned around comfort rather than speed.
Consider:
Adequate rest
Comfortable vehicle selection
Suitable hotels
Fewer long driving days where possible
Medical consultation when appropriate
Warm clothing
Buffer time
Careful planning for Kedarnath and Yamunotri
Avoid creating an unnecessarily rushed itinerary simply to complete all four temples quickly.
Before starting your Char Dham Yatra, reconfirm:
Official temple opening status
Char Dham registration
Current weather
Road conditions
Government/local administration advisories
Hotel bookings
Vehicle arrangements
Trek status
Helicopter operations, if applicable
Conditions in the Himalayas can change, so information should be reconfirmed close to the actual date of travel.
