For pilgrims planning the sacred Char Dham Yatra—covering Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath—hiring a Tempo Traveller from Dehradun is one of the most popular and convenient options. A Tempo Traveller offers spacious seating, luggage space, air conditioning, and the flexibility to travel as a group, making it ideal for family or group spiritual journeys.
Dehradun, being the nearest major transport hub to Uttarakhand’s Char Dham circuit, serves as a convenient start and end point for the pilgrimage. Most rentals are designed around a 10-day itinerary that covers all four dham routes and return travel.
Typical Tempo Traveller Rates from Dehradun
Pricing for Tempo Travellers varies based on vehicle size, amenities, rental duration, and season (peak summer months of May–June generally have higher prices). Most operators quote lump-sum packages for the entire Char Dham Yatra (around 10 days).
Package Based Pricing (10-Day Yatra)
(Approximate rates, inclusive of fuel, driver, tolls & permits)
- 12-Seater Tempo Traveller – Around ₹85,000 to ₹95,000
- 17-Seater Tempo Traveller – Around ₹1,05,000 to ₹1,10,000
- 20-Seater Tempo Traveller – Around ₹1,20,000 to ₹1,30,000
- 25-Seater Tempo Traveller – Around ₹1,30,000+
These prices typically include driver charges, fuel, toll tax, state permit fees, and necessary taxes, though some operators may charge extra for driver food or accommodation depending on your package. Rates can be 20–30% higher during peak pilgrimage season due to demand.
Per Day & Per KM Options
Some rental services also offer flexible pricing if you prefer to pay per day or per km rather than a fixed package:
- Daily Hire Option – Starting from ₹7,500 to ₹12,000+ per day depending on seating capacity and comfort level.
- Per km Basis – Around ₹24-₹30 per km for standard vehicles, with extra driver allowances, tolls, and parking as additional charges.
Larger Tempo Travellers (22–26 seats) can cost ₹11,000–₹12,990+ per day for the Char Dham Yatra package, while smaller Maharaja 9–12 seater options usually start lower, ranging from ₹7,500–₹8,500 per day.
