The total distance of the Char Dham Yatra depends on the route taken by the pilgrims, as there are multiple routes to reach each of the four shrines.
However, typically, the Char Dham Yatra covers a distance of approximately 1,600–1,800 kilometers (994–1,118 miles) by road. This distance includes traveling to all four shrines—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath—and returning to the starting point.
The journey to Char Dham is considered challenging due to the mountainous terrain and the unpredictable weather conditions.Pilgrims can undertake the journey either by road, on foot, or by using helicopters.
