Naman,
I did the Char Dham in 2005 in this order:
Badrinath-Kedarnath-Gangotri-Yamunotri
Please see the following link - it has a detailed log book of my drive from Bombay via Delhi and Rishikesh, and is the shortest and the optimal route. H V Kumar - Driving Log Books - KUMAR'S DRIVING LOG BOOKS Uttaranchal, Sep 2005
You can do this trip within the time frame you have in mind.
Please note the gate timings at Joshimath for Badrinath.
Please also note that in several areas, roads are closed between 8 p amd 6 am.
I would be very cautious about going to Gangotri now because the road from Batwari onwards to Harsil can be very bad.
All old maps of Uttaranchal are wrong because of the realignment fo the roads around Tehri town (under dam waters now, replaced with New Tehri), which adds at least 20-30 kms to the earlier route.
Expect heavy traffic now, and also disruptions due to heavy rains and ensuing landslides.
My suggestion would be to do the trip best in Sep-Oct after the pilgrim season is opver and rains have stopped.
Please PM/ call me if you need any further inputs. |
