Triyuginarayan Distance at a Glance

Triyuginarayan (त्रियुगीनारायण), the Himalayan village where Hindu tradition places the wedding of Shiva and Parvati, sits in Rudraprayag district at about 1,980 m, 11.4 km off the main Sonprayag–Gaurikund road.

The Rudra, Vishnu, Brahma and Saraswati kunds are inside the temple complex, a short walk from the temple. Panwali Kantha meadows lie on the Ghuttu–Triyuginarayan trekking route and are reached on foot, not by road.

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 — the last stretch from Rudraprayag onward is single-lane hill road.

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 — a major railway junction with more direct long-distance train 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 35 minutes' drive. Sonprayag is also where the road splits: one branch goes to Gaurikund for the Kedarnath trek, the other to Triyuginarayan. For the shared jeep, taxi fares and the optional forest trail, see Sonprayag to Triyuginarayan by jeep or taxi.

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 (39 km, 1–1.5 hrs; longer in the Yatra season) has the widest choice of hotels in this stretch of the route, and is where couples on our Triyuginarayan wedding package stay. Ukhimath (about 55 km, 2 hrs) is the winter seat of the Kedarnath deity and worth a stop if the main temple is closed for the season. Chopta (about 85 km, 3–3.5 hrs) and Tungnath Temple (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. For more stops in this stretch, see our guide to places to visit near Triyuginarayan Temple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Triyuginarayan Temple is 214 km from Rishikesh by road, taking about 6–8 hours depending on traffic near Rudraprayag. The route runs via Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Guptkashi and Sonprayag, with the last 11.4 km being a separate link road off the main highway.

There's no direct route — you trek back down from Kedarnath to Gaurikund (16 km), then drive via Sonprayag to Triyuginarayan (16.1 km), for a total of 32 km. Most pilgrims treat this as a separate day after resting from the Kedarnath trek.

No, they're two separate temples 32 km apart. Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas; Triyuginarayan is the site tradition identifies as the wedding place of Shiva and Parvati, marked by its Akhand Dhuni eternal flame.

Sonprayag is the closest town at 11.4 km, but it has limited hotels. Guptkashi, 39 km away, is where most pilgrims actually stay overnight, since it has far more accommodation options for the wider Kedarnath and Do Dham route.

Sersi is about 18 km from Triyuginarayan (around 40 minutes) and Phata about 25 km (45 minutes to an hour), both via Sonprayag on the Guptkashi–Gaurikund road.

Guptkashi is 39 km from Triyuginarayan, about 1–1.5 hours by road via Phata, Sersi and Sonprayag. Allow longer in May and June, when Kedarnath Yatra traffic slows the road near Sonprayag.

Rudraprayag is about 80 km from Triyuginarayan, roughly 2.5–3 hours by road via Agastyamuni, Guptkashi and Sonprayag.

Patna to Triyuginarayan is about 1,250 km by road via Lucknow, Delhi and Haridwar, more than 24 hours of driving. Most travellers take a train or flight to Haridwar, Rishikesh or Dehradun and drive the last 214–255 km.

That figure is the straight trekking-line distance between the two temples. The real journey is 32 km: 16.1 km by road to Gaurikund via Sonprayag, then the 16 km trek to Kedarnath.
