Char Dham Yatra from Palwal in October — FAQs
The temples close on the auspicious dates announced by the Char Dham Devasthanam Board. Kedarnath typically closes on Bhai Dooj (2–3 days after Diwali), while Badrinath closes a few days later. Yamunotri and Gangotri close around the same period. For 2026, dates will be announced in September. Plan your return journey with a 3–4 day buffer from the announced closing date.
Light snowfall at Kedarnath in October adds beauty rather than hazard, as the temple is still operational and the trail is maintained. However, heavy snowfall (possible from late October) can make the 18 km trek treacherous. Your operator monitors SDRF advisories daily; if snow depth exceeds safe limits, helicopter transfers from Phata or Sersi are arranged as an alternative.
October is considered highly auspicious as pilgrims witness or participate in the Closing Ceremony, when the idol of Kedarnath is carried in a palanquin to Ukhimath for winter worship. Being present during these closing rituals is a rare and deeply moving experience that regular May–June pilgrims rarely witness. It is especially meaningful for devotees of Lord Shiva.
