       Well-organised Char Dham Yatra, great value for money

We did a 10-day Char Dham trip with Travel Vaidya, and it was very well planned, with good hotels throughout. Akshya was very helpful from start to finish, with quick replies, easy date changes and a customised itinerary. We even added Rishikesh and Haridwar. The team handled all the logistics, including Char Dham registration and pony and palki bookings.

Our driver Happy was outstanding. He was calm and safe on the mountain roads, even in rain and fog, kept the car clean, and always took breaks when needed. He knew the best routes, good food stops and the stories behind every temple, and his timing tips gave us crowd-free darshan. He even suggested a few centuries-old temples along the way that weren’t on the itinerary, and they were well worth the visit! He was always on time and never rushed us, and he cooked fresh home-made lunches on the way too.

If you book with Travel Vaidya, we strongly suggest asking for Happy as your driver. Definitely value for money and highly recommended.

     We choose Travel Vaidya for Kedarnath and Badrinath visit. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Kedarnath due to Landslides, Heavy Rain, and the Police had stopped the yatra by trek for 3 days, but when the yatra re-opened it was obnoxiously chaotic and very poor management by UK Government (request them to see how well South Indian temples are organised). But, Ravi ji from Travel Vaidya made sure that we got treated better. Hence, he re-routed us to Chopta - Tunganath, Guptkashi, Ukkimath, Kalimath and other places. Then we went to Badrinath. On our way back to Rishikesh we covered PanchPrayag too. All the stays were good and placed in good locations. Due to unexpected landslide and plan change the hotels also had to be changed and Ravi Ji managed all of this very proactively without any fuss. A special shout-out to Sunil Bhai (our well-maintained Ertiga Sarathi). He was very polite, energetic, knows about these places at the back of his hand, and very good driving skills. He made sure that our journey was safe even during landslides, heavy rain, and heavy wait times in traffic. Sunil Bhai, Ravi Ji and the entire Travel Vaidya team took care of us very well. Thanks to all of you!

     An absolutely phenomenal Chardham Yatra from Dehradun with Travel Vaidya! 🙏✨ I travelled with my father and three uncles (aged 60–78), and everything was perfectly managed. We got decent, budget-friendly hotels and a comfortable taxi. A special shoutout to our driver (Amit)  - the absolute best I’ve ever encountered for handling tough mountain terrains 95% of the time! When unexpected rains disrupted our tight schedule, the highly cooperative crew quickly stepped in to help us replan. Dropping a happy photo from our journey to let everyone know they are highly recommended! 📸👇.

     We took a trip  to Char Dham arranged by Travel Vaidya starting Sept 18 for 10 days.
The trip was very well planned and organised with fairly good hotels. A special thanks to Srashti Goyal at Travel Vaidya who was very helpful with instant response to our queries. We were provided with an excellent driver, Mohit Rana, who was soft spoken, decent and helpful throughout our trip. In spite of many hurdles like bad weather and crowds at the temples, our trip was amazing and very well managed by Travel Vaidya.
Again, a special thanks to Srashti Goyal and Mohit Rana for making this trip a pleasant and memorable one.

     Last week I took support from Ravi of Travel Vaidya for our family's trip to Kedarnath and Haridwar. That was the same days when the landslide started at Kedarnath. Ravi was our Single point of contact for all the support throughout the trip (unlike a previous tour operator where I had to talk to a dozen people on a daily basis for hotels, cabs, payment, etc. etc.). Due to landslide, our plan was changing by the minute and Ravi professionally provided real time support and was accessible over phone call all thru. He was even very flexible and provided us backup options immediately when there was a minor hiccup with the car breakdown so we dont lose time. He got us the right contacts for mules and doli at Kedarnath. With the tension owing to the landslide, having someone to fall back upon was very comforting. Thank you, Ravi !
