The Char Dham Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage, drawing thousands of devotees to the holy shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Unfortunately, scammers on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook are exploiting pilgrims by advertising fake travel deals at unbelievably low prices—₹8,000, ₹10,000, or ₹15,000 per person.

Why These Offers Are Too Good to Be True?

Planning a genuine Char Dham Yatra involves multiple costs, such as:
✔️ Transport – Vehicles for long-distance travel across rough terrains
✔️ Accommodation – Hotels and guesthouses for comfortable stays
✔️ Meals – Full-board meals throughout the journey
✔️ Permits & Taxes – Government-mandated fees and charges
✔️ Mule/Palki for Kedarnath – Required for elderly or those unable to trek

With these essential costs, a realistic package starts at ₹25,000 per person, depending on the group size and service level.

How Fraudulent Agencies Scam Customers?

Fake Social Media Ads – They promise "All-Inclusive" deals at cheap rates to attract bookings.
Advance Payment Fraud – After receiving the money, they disappear or provide fake tickets.
No Official Registration – They lack authorization from Uttarakhand Tourism or any regulatory body.

Even the Government Knows Char Dham Yatra Is Not Cheap

If you check GMVN (Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam), the official government agency, they offer Char Dham Yatra packages starting at ₹40,000 per person. This price reflects the real cost of organizing a comfortable and safe pilgrimage. Yet, Gokeys Travel provides the same yatra at a much better price with excellent services.

Example of How Char Dham Yatra Price Calculated

Now, here we are giving you an example of how the price for Char Dham Yatra Calculated, so you can get a general idea, how much the price should be for the trip of Char Dham Yatra Pilgrimage sites.

Let suppose you are 6 Persons together and wanted to do Char Dham Yatra from Haridwar. You must be aware of that Char Dham Yatra takes 9 Nights and 10 Days to complete from Haridwar to Haridwar. Check out: Complete Details of Char Dham Yatra 2025

So, total Persons = 6

Tour Duration = 9 Nights and 10 Days

Pickup and Drop Location = Haridwar

Rooms Required = 2 Triple Bedroom

Transportation Option = Ertiga Cab 6-Seater or Innova for Deluxe Packages

Meal Option with Package = Breakfast and Dinner

So, let calculate the price of this example trip of Char Dham Yatra.

Total Room Nights = 9 Nights and 2 Rooms Every Places. Suppose the price of Room is 3000/-. So total amount would be 3000 X 2 Rooms X 9 Nights = 54000/- for 9 Nights

Now Meals Charges = You can assume 200/- for Breakfast and 300/- for dinner, its general price. So, 6 Persons X 500 Charges of both X 9 Days = 27000/- for 9 Days Breakfast and Dinner.

Now Transportation Charges = Ertiga Cab price for Char Dham Yatra is approx. 5000/- Per Day and total Days are 10, so 5000 X 10 Days = 50000/-

So, now the total amount is 54000 + 27000 + 50000 = 131000/-, lets divide it with 6 Persons and you will the get the price of 21833/- Per Person for Char Dham yatra. 

But now if we add GST Taxes and Service Charges it would go up with this price. so, if you are getting a price below that, then there is issue, check the standard of Hotels, Travel Agency Office, their registration and other things, now you can understand if you are getting price of 15000/-, 12000/-, 10000/-, 8000/- Per person, which don't actually looks good, because nobody will pay from their pocket for your trip.

So, understand, what you are booking and whom you are booking with.
