Choose the gateway before the package

The right start point depends on where you are arriving, whether you need a rest night, and how much road time your group can handle. Delhi is useful for flights and international arrivals. Haridwar is useful for a pilgrimage-focused start. Dehradun may be useful for selected helicopter or regional routing.

Decision Practical guidance
Delhi Best for flight arrivals, international travelers, and private transfer starts.
Haridwar Best for travelers already in North India or wanting a pilgrimage gateway.
Dehradun Best when flight timing or helicopter routing makes operational sense.
