India's Most Sacred and Scenic Himalayan State — and It Has More to Offer Than You Think
Most travellers who visit Uttarakhand come for one thing — and leave having found three more.
The Char Dham pilgrimage draws hundreds of thousands every year, and rightly so. Standing at Kedarnath at 3,583 metres, with the Mandakini valley falling away below you and the temple rising from bare rock, is an experience that stays with you long after the journey home. But Uttarakhand is much more than a pilgrimage route.
Rishikesh is where river rapids meet sunrise yoga. Mussoorie is where families have been escaping the plains heat for generations. Auli turns into one of India's few genuine skiing destinations in winter. The Kumaon hills — Nainital, Kausani, Ranikhet — are quieter, greener, and more unhurried than most travellers expect. And Jim Corbett has been surprising wildlife enthusiasts with tiger sightings for decades.
Our packages are built for travellers who want to see it properly — with a private vehicle, someone who knows the roads and the season, and itineraries that leave room to breathe rather than rush.

Available Trips
Choose Your Uttarakhand Experience
From a 3-day Rishikesh spiritual break to a 10-day Char Dham Yatra — every package includes a private vehicle and daily breakfast. All depart from Haridwar or Dehradun.
We've been running Uttarakhand tours for years. Here's what that means for your trip.
Your vehicle. Your schedule.
Every package comes with a dedicated private vehicle — no shared cabs, no waiting for co-passengers. Want to spend an extra hour at Badrinath before driving back? You stop. It's that simple.
No surprise charges on arrival
What's listed in the package is what you pay. Tolls, parking, driver allowances — all included. We'll tell you clearly what's not covered (entry fees, pony or palki charges at Kedarnath, personal expenses) so you can budget without guesswork.
Local knowledge that actually helps
We know the best time to reach Har Ki Pauri for the Ganga Aarti. We know when the Kedarnath trail gets congested and how to plan around it. We know which Kumaon homestays have the Himalayan views worth waking up early for. That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a brochure.
One person handles everything
From the moment you land in Haridwar or Dehradun to the moment you leave, you have a single point of contact. No juggling between operators, no confusion about who picks you up, no miscommunication mid-trip.
We're honest about season windows and road conditions
The Char Dham temples close from November to April. Some high-altitude roads become inaccessible after heavy snowfall. We'll tell you this upfront — and help you pick the right package for the right time of year — rather than let you find out after you've booked.

Ashish Mishra
"My Gujarat tour with Meet N Greet Travels was nothing short of magical. The hotel accommodation was comfortable with breathtaking views. The taxi service was efficient and allowed seamless travel between destinations. We marveled at architectural wonders like Rani ki Vav and explored the ancient ruins of Lothal. Meet N Greet Travels truly went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience."
Mukesh Kumar
"I recently went on a Gujarat tour organized by Meet N Greet Travels and it exceeded my expectations. The hotel was conveniently located in the city and made exploring nearby attractions easy. Our cab driver was friendly and shared valuable insights about the local culture. We visited historic sites like Dwarka and Somnath. Kudos to the team for curating such a wonderful itinerary."
Arjun Pandey
"An incredible experience with Meet N Greet Travels. My Gujarat tour was delightful from start to finish. The hotel had cozy accommodations and great food. The cab service was punctual and the driver was knowledgeable about the best routes and attractions. We visited places like Sabarmati Ashram and the vibrant markets of Ahmedabad. Highly recommend their services for a hassle-free trip."
Vishal Mishra
"I had an amazing time exploring Gujarat with Meet N Greet Travels. From the bustling streets of Ahmedabad to the White Rann in Kutch and Gir Forest, every destination was wonderful. The hotels were cozy and well located, including a heritage stay in Vadodara and a peaceful retreat in Saputara. The drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. A great choice for a comfortable and memorable Gujarat trip."
Akhilesh Kumar
"We had a good experience overall. The car was very comfortable and the driver was good. Le Lac Sarovar hotel was very nice. The hotel in Netarhat was slightly disappointing; staying at Jharkhand Tourism's Prabhat Vihar would be better due to its location near the sunrise point."
Vasanthi Murugesh
"Amazing experience. The tour was well managed and the staff were cooperative. Hope to plan another trip again."
Jyotirani Bhowmick
"Overall experience was very good. However the driver-cum-guide role could be improved as he did not have the itinerary and asked us about the next destination. A guide should be present or the driver should have better knowledge about the places."
Sandeep
"We had a wonderful experience with Meet N Greet Travels. The trip was beautifully planned and organized by agent Shubham. The resorts were excellent with great ambience and efficient staff. The food quality was excellent and the cab driver was punctual and supportive. However, a lot of time went into travelling by cab which created some stress."
Nitish Sharma
"Had a wonderful experience with Meet and Greet Travels. Our Meghalaya trip was perfectly organized and smooth. Special thanks to Shubham, our trip coordinator, for his professionalism, prompt support and dedication to making the trip memorable. Highly recommend their services."
Shamal
"The transport, driver, booking process and explanation by Mr. Subham were good. Accommodation at Dwarka was good, but the hotels at Sasan Gir and Somnath were disappointing and could be improved."
Sanjaya Kumar Pradhan
"Had a comfortable vacation with Meet N Greet. The driver was friendly and guided us well. The team ensured we reached all places on time and did not miss any destinations in the plan. The trip could have been even better if they had suggested more options to cover the places within the available time."
Bhagyashree K
"I booked a 10-day Gujarat trip for my family and it was excellent. Subham, the coordinator, was very helpful and stayed in touch daily. The driver was also very good. Even though it was a budget trip, the hotel accommodations were good and the food quality was excellent."

Plan Your Trip
When Should You Go?
April – June
This is the prime season. The Char Dham temples open in late April or early May, pilgrims are arriving in full swing, and the weather across the hills is cool and pleasant. Rishikesh and Haridwar are accessible year-round, but the mountain roads to Kedarnath and Badrinath are at their best during these months. Book early — Char Dham season fills up fast.
September – November
Post-monsoon Uttarakhand is beautiful. The skies have cleared, the hills are still green from the rains, and the crowds from peak pilgrimage season have thinned. October is widely considered the best month for Himalayan photography and for the Kumaon hill stations. The Char Dham temples close in October–November (dates vary by year).
December – February
Winter transforms the upper reaches. Auli becomes one of India's best skiing destinations, Mussoorie gets occasional snowfall, and the pilgrimage towns are quiet and atmospheric. Nainital and the Kumaon hills are cold but accessible and largely crowd-free. The Char Dham shrines are closed during this period.
July – August (Monsoon)
The Valley of Flowers is at its absolute peak in July and August — a riot of alpine wildflowers across a high-altitude meadow. However, the monsoon also brings landslides and unpredictable road conditions on mountain routes. Char Dham travel during this period requires flexibility. Best for travellers with loose itineraries who don't mind adapting on the go.
Note: Char Dham temple opening and closing dates (typically late April/early May and October/November) are announced by temple committees and change each year. We'll confirm the exact dates when you enquire.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which airport or station should I fly into?
Dehradun (Jolly Grant Airport, DED) is the main gateway for Char Dham, Mussoorie, Auli, and Rishikesh. For Nainital, Corbett, and the Kumaon region, you should arrive at Kathgodam railway station (the nearest railhead). Haridwar station is also a common starting point for Rishikesh and pilgrimage circuits. All our packages include pickup directly from your arrival point — just share your travel details when you book.
Is Char Dham Yatra suitable for elderly travellers and families?
Yes, with the right planning. The road journey is long but comfortable in a private vehicle with breaks. At Kedarnath, pony and palki (palanquin) services are available for those who cannot trek. Badrinath is accessible by road with minimal walking. Yamunotri and Gangotri involve short treks (5–6 km each way). Let us know the age and fitness level of your group when enquiring and we'll advise on the best approach.
When do the Char Dham temples open and close each year?
The opening dates (usually late April or early May) and closing dates (October or November) are announced by the temple committees ahead of each season and change year to year. We confirm the exact dates once announced. Broadly: plan Char Dham between May and October to avoid closures. We track these dates every season and will advise when you reach out.
How many days should I plan for Uttarakhand?
It depends on what you want to cover. Rishikesh or Mussoorie alone: 3 days is comfortable. Nainital and the Kumaon circuit: 5 to 6 days. Do Dham (Kedarnath + Badrinath): 6 days. Full Char Dham Yatra: 10 days minimum from Haridwar. If you want to combine a hill station with a pilgrimage circuit, plan for 7 to 8 days. We can customise any itinerary — reach out with your dates and we'll suggest the right fit.
Is skiing at Auli available year-round?
No — Auli's natural skiing season runs from roughly January to March, when the slopes have sufficient snow cover. The Auli ropeway (Joshimath to Auli cable car) operates outside of this season too, and the meadows are beautiful in summer for trekking to Gurso Bugyal. If skiing is your primary goal, plan for January through March.
How difficult are the treks — Tungnath, Kedarnath?
Both are manageable for reasonably fit travellers. The Kedarnath trek is approximately 16 km each way from Gaurikund — a full day at a steady pace, with proper shoes and acclimatisation. The Tungnath trek (to the world's highest Shiva temple) is 3.5 km each way from Chopta with a moderate incline. Neither requires prior trekking experience, but altitude does affect people differently. Pony services are available at Kedarnath if needed.
Can I customise a package?
Absolutely. Reach out with your travel dates, group size, and what you'd like to see — a pilgrimage circuit, a hill station retreat, an adventure trip, or a mix — and we'll put together something that fits. All packages can be extended, combined, or adjusted.
