Kartik Swami Temple is near Kanakchauri village in Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, at an altitude of approx. 3,050 m. It is dedicated to Lord Kartikeya, the elder son of Lord Shiva.
Delhi to Rishikesh is approx. 240 km by road, then Rishikesh to Rudraprayag via Devprayag and Srinagar is approx. 140 km. From Rudraprayag, Kanakchauri is about 38 km further. The total journey from Delhi is approx. 420 km and takes 12-14 hours. The nearest railway station is Rishikesh/Haridwar, and the nearest airport is Jolly Grant, Dehradun.
The trek starts from Kanakchauri village and is approx. 3 km one way. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to go up and 1-1.5 hours to come down.
No. It is an easy to moderate trek with a well-defined trail through forest and village paths. It is suitable for beginners, families and senior citizens who are reasonably fit and can walk slowly with breaks.
The temple can be visited almost all year. October to June is the best time for clear views of Chaukhamba, Neelkanth and the Kedarnath range. Winter (December to February) brings snow and a beautiful landscape, but it is very cold. Heavy monsoon (July-August) is best avoided due to landslides and poor visibility.
According to local belief, when Lord Shiva asked his sons Kartikeya and Ganesha to circle the universe, Ganesha circled his parents and won. Hurt by this, Kartikeya offered his bones to his father and settled here in the Himalayas. Devotees believe the temple stands at this very spot.
Yes. The Kartik Swami Mela and Kalash Yatra are held in June, and a large number of devotees come on Kartik Purnima in November. Expect a bigger crowd on these days.
There is no entry fee for the temple and no special permit is needed for this trek. Some pooja or aarti offerings may involve a small donation or charge.
On a clear day you can see Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Kedarnath, Trishul, Nanda Devi and other peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas. Sunrise and early morning are usually the best time for views.
Carry comfortable trekking or sports shoes, a light jacket or windcheater (it is cold and windy at the top), a water bottle, snacks, a cap, sunscreen and a small rain cover in monsoon. Warm layers are a must in winter. Also carry a valid ID.
The final package cost may vary based on departure date, group size, room-sharing preference, vehicle type, and accommodation availability.

The itinerary is designed to cover Devprayag, Dhari Devi and Kartik Swami Temple within a compact 1-night and 2-day schedule. Travellers should expect early starts, long travel hours, and limited free time compared with longer Uttarakhand packages.
The trip begins from Delhi at night so the group can reach Uttarakhand and continue toward Devprayag without using an additional travel day. Arrive at the pickup point on time and have dinner beforehand if required.
Darshan and Aarti timings at Devprayag, Dhari Devi and Kartik Swami Temple can vary depending on the season, local conditions, and temple operations. The trip coordinator may adjust the schedule to make the best use of the available darshan time.
The Kanakchauri–Kartik Swami trek is the most important part of the package. Avoid planning additional activities or personal detours that could delay the early morning trek, temple darshan or affect the group schedule.
Kanakchauri is a small village in the Himalayan region. Accommodation, food choices, hot water, electricity, and other facilities may be simpler than what travellers usually find in larger hill towns.
This is a coordinated group departure. Pickup times, meal stops, sightseeing, temple visits, and return timings are planned around the overall group, so travellers should remain available at the agreed meeting points.
Instead of carrying all your luggage during the trek, organise essentials such as a light jacket, water, medicines, personal documents, and basic toiletries in a smaller bag for the trek route.
This package does not include an additional rest night. Travellers who prefer more recovery time and a slower schedule should consider a longer Uttarakhand temple tour with extra nights.
