Planning your Char Dham Yatra 2024 requires careful consideration. The four holy shrines open in May, with Yamunotri and Gangotri opening on May 10th, Kedarnath on May 11th, and Badrinath on May 12th. Be prepared for high altitudes, ranging from 3100 meters (Gangotri) to 3584 meters (Kedarnath). The distances from Haridwar also vary, from 210 kilometers (Yamunotri) to 308 kilometers (Badrinath). 

Here are some additional tips for planning your Char Dham Yatra:

• Book your accommodations and transportation well in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak season.
• Obtain all necessary permits and registrations.

• Allow plenty of time for acclimatization to the high altitude.
• Respect the local culture and traditions.

With careful planning, you can have a safe and enjoyable Char Dham Yatra.
