The best route for Char Dham Yatra from Delhi by road follows a logical and comfortable progression through the Himalayas, minimizing backtracking and allowing for proper rest between long drives:
Delhi → Haridwar → Barkot (Yamunotri) → Uttarkashi (Gangotri) → Guptkashi (Kedarnath) → Joshimath (Badrinath) → Rishikesh → Delhi
This route starts with Haridwar for initial rest and acclimatization, then moves to Yamunotri and Gangotri in the western part of Uttarakhand, before heading to Kedarnath in central Garhwal and finishing with Badrinath in the east. From Badrinath, pilgrims return via Rishikesh and back to Delhi.
