From our experience of organizing multiple trips to Triyuginarayan Temple and Kedarnath over the last 8+ years, we have noticed that many travelers often feel confused about the starting point of their journey.
One of the main challenges is that there is no direct train or flight connectivity to Sonprayag or Triyuginarayan Temple, and cities like Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun also have limited connectivity from many parts of India.
That’s why, in most cases, we recommend travelers to first reach Delhi, as it is the most well-connected city, and then continue their journey to Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun, followed by Sonprayag.
If you are already in Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun, you can directly skip to Step 2 of this guide.
