Day 1
Delhi → Haridwar
230 km, ~6 hrs
Pickup at Delhi airport / station. Evening Ganga Aarti at Har-ki-Pauri.
Overnight: Haridwar
6 Nights / 7 Days · Trekking Yatra
Valley of Flowers Trek - 6N / 7D ex-Delhi
A complete Valley of Flowers trekking yatra ex-Delhi. Two nights in Haridwar bookend the trip, with Ganga Aarti at Har-ki-Pauri on arrival, the 14 km Govindghat-Ghangaria pilgrim trail mid-trip, and the iconic 5 km day-trek into the Valley of Flowers (3,858 m). Subject to weather and regulatory clearance.
TL;DR · This is a trekking yatra, not a Char Dham helicopter pilgrimage. You walk 14 km up to Ghangaria and 5 km each way into the Valley of Flowers - reasonable fitness required. Best season: July to early September (full bloom). Pony is not allowed inside the valley itself; only trek-in. For destination context see our Valley of Flowers travel guide. If you want all four Dhams in the same trip, see our Char Dham 10N/11D ex-Delhi by road.
