Some sources quote 27 km to Kedarnath — that is the direct trek line, not the motorable route. Road-plus-trek total is 32 km: 16.1 km of driving to Gaurikund, then the 16 km Kedarnath trek from there.

Rishikesh to Triyuginarayan Distance

Rishikesh to Triyuginarayan Temple is 214 km by road, roughly 6h 48m depending on stops and monsoon traffic near Rudraprayag. The route runs Rishikesh → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Guptkashi → Sonprayag, then the final 11.4 km spur to the temple. Rishikesh is the most common starting point for pilgrims flying into Dehradun or arriving by train, since it sits at the mouth of the Garhwal Himalayas and has the widest choice of taxis and buses toward Kedarnath and Char Dham routes, including our own Kedarnath Yatra package.

Delhi to Triyuginarayan Distance

Delhi to Triyuginarayan Temple is about 454 km, taking 10h 55m by road via Haridwar and Rishikesh. Most travellers break the journey overnight in Rishikesh or Guptkashi rather than driving straight through — the last stretch from Rudraprayag onward is single-lane hill road, and pushing through after dark isn't worth it. An overnight Volvo or train from Delhi to Haridwar, followed by a taxi the next morning, is usually more comfortable than one long car ride.

Dehradun to Triyuginarayan Distance

From Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport, Triyuginarayan Temple is 255 km away, about 7–9 hours by road via Rishikesh. Jolly Grant is the nearest airport to the temple with regular flights from Delhi, Mumbai and a few other metros, which makes it the fastest way in for anyone not driving from Delhi. From the airport, taxis run straight through Rishikesh onto the same Rudraprayag–Guptkashi–Sonprayag route used from Rishikesh itself.

Haridwar to Triyuginarayan Distance

Haridwar to Triyuginarayan Temple is 237 km, roughly 7h 28m by road. Haridwar is a common overnight stop for pilgrims arriving by train from further south or east, since it's a major railway junction with far more direct connections than Rishikesh. From Haridwar the route joins Rishikesh and follows the same Devprayag–Rudraprayag–Guptkashi–Sonprayag road.

Sonprayag to Triyuginarayan Distance

Sonprayag is the last major town before Triyuginarayan and the closest reference point on most maps — 11.4 km away by a motorable link road, about 34 minutes by taxi or shared jeep. Sonprayag is also where the road splits: one branch goes to Gaurikund for the Kedarnath trek, the other to Triyuginarayan. If you'd rather walk than drive the last stretch, a roughly 5 km forest trail connects the two, taking about 2 hours at an easy pace — it isn't required, just an option some pilgrims take for the walk itself.

Gaurikund to Triyuginarayan Distance

Gaurikund, the starting point of the Kedarnath trek, is about 16.1 km from Triyuginarayan by road, roughly an hour's drive. There's no direct road between the two — both are reached via Sonprayag, in opposite directions, so the journey is really Gaurikund → Sonprayag → Triyuginarayan rather than a straight line. Pilgrims doing both temples on one trip typically base themselves in Guptkashi or Sonprayag and treat Gaurikund and Triyuginarayan as two separate day trips from there.

Triyuginarayan to Kedarnath Distance

Triyuginarayan Temple to Kedarnath Temple is 32 km in total — 16.1 km by road to Gaurikund, then the 16 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath. There's no direct road or trail between the two temples; every route runs back through Sonprayag first. Some travel sites quote 27 km for this leg. That figure is the straight trekking-line distance between the two points, not a distance you can actually walk or drive — the real road-plus-trek journey is the 32 km above.

Pilgrims often ask whether to visit Triyuginarayan before or after Kedarnath. Since both are reached via Sonprayag and Triyuginarayan needs no trekking, most itineraries fit it in either on the drive up to Guptkashi (before the Kedarnath trek starts) or on the way back down, once the Kedarnath darshan is done and legs need a rest day. Doing it beforehand means one less thing to plan around trek fatigue; doing it afterward means a shorter, easier day right after the hardest part of the trip. Either works — there's no route-logic reason to prefer one over the other, it comes down to which day you'd rather keep light.

Triyuginarayan to Badrinath Distance

Triyuginarayan to Badrinath Temple is about 225 km, 7–8 hours by road via Guptkashi, Chopta and Joshimath. This is the standard Do Dham Yatra route — Kedarnath and Badrinath on one trip — and Triyuginarayan sits close enough to the start of it that many pilgrims fold it in as a same-day detour before continuing on to Badrinath. Our Do Dham Yatra Package covers this exact route with Triyuginarayan included.

Guptkashi, Ukhimath, Chopta & Tungnath

Guptkashi (35 km, 1–1.5 hrs) is the usual overnight base for this whole region — most Do Dham and Kedarnath itineraries stay here rather than in Sonprayag, since it has far more hotel options. Ukhimath (40 km, 1.5 hrs) is the winter seat of the Kedarnath deity and worth a stop if the main temple is closed for the season. Chopta (89 km, 3–4 hrs) and Tungnath Temple (85 km, 4 hrs, plus a 3.5 km trek from Chopta) are further out, reached via Ukhimath, and usually visited as a separate day rather than combined with Triyuginarayan on the same trip.
