The journey starts from Jaipur and travels entirely by road, passing through Haridwar, Guptkashi, Gaurikund, Rudraprayag, Joshimath, and Devprayag, as well as several holy river confluences. This tour offers travellers a deep spiritual experience along with stunning Himalayan scenery and moderate trekking adventure.

Pilgrims follow the traditional sequence visiting Kedarnath first, followed by Badrinath, which is considered auspicious in Hindu tradition and believed to help cleanse past sins and bring the soul closer to moksha through sacred shrine darshan.
