Char Dham is not one trip — it is four trips stitched together. The Urbania makes that bearable because each leg ends in real recliner seats and a proper night halt.
Day-by-day plan
We open with a Haridwar night, then go anti-clockwise: Yamunotri → Gangotri → Kedarnath → Badrinath. The reason is altitude — Yamunotri eases you in, and by the time you hit Kedarnath you are acclimatised.
When to take the helicopter
If your group has anyone above 65, pre-book the Kedarnath helicopter from GMVN. The Urbania waits at Sonprayag and saves you the 18 km trek. For Yamunotri, palki is more practical than helicopter.
What to pack
Layers, a fleece, a windproof shell. Even May mornings at Kedarnath are sub-10°C. Slip-on shoes for the temples. Plastic-bag your phone for the heli leg.
