Step 06

Save Money

Tips to Reduce Your Yatra Cost

Travel Off-Peak

September-October has lower hotel rates and moderate weather. Avoid May-June peak.

Travel in Groups

Per-person cost drops with larger groups. 10-15 people sharing an Urbania is very economical.

Take Train to Haridwar

Starting from Haridwar instead of Delhi saves 1-2 days of vehicle charges. Trains are frequent.

Book GMVN Rest Houses

Government-run GMVN guest houses are clean, affordable, and available at all stops.

Eat at Dhabas

Local dhabas and langars along the route offer filling vegetarian meals at low cost.

Book 3+ Months Early

Early booking gets you the best rates and vehicle availability. Last-minute is expensive.

Group travel is the smartest way to save. A Force Urbania on rent for 10-17 people brings per-person transport cost down to 1,000-1,500/day. Check our Urbania Rental Rates for detailed pricing.

Pricing FAQs

It can be as budget-friendly or luxury as you choose. A basic 12-day trip can cost around

20,000 per person, while a luxury helicopter yatra can exceed

2,00,000. Group travel significantly reduces individual costs.

For a deluxe experience (private SUV, 3-star hotels, all meals), expect to pay between

1.4L to

2L for the entire family for a 10-12 day circuit.

Most standard packages include breakfast and dinner. Luxury packages often include all three meals (including lunch) and snacks. Always check your specific inclusion list before booking.
