Hi Dhananjay, An ideal itinerary for a trip to Badrinath, Kedarnath, Auli, Sari Village, and Chopta Valley from Haridwar/Rishikesh would be 9 days. This would allow you to comfortably visit all of the places you've mentioned and enjoy the beauty of each location. Here is a suggested itinerary: Day 1: Arrive in Haridwar/Rishikesh and check into your hotel. Day 2: Visit the Har Ki Pauri ghat and take a dip in the holy Ganges River. Spend some time exploring the temples and ashrams in the area. Day 3: Drive from Haridwar/Rishikesh to Guptkashi. This is a beautiful drive along the banks of the Mandakini River. Stop at Devprayag, where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers meet. Day 4: Early morning, take a shared taxi from Guptkashi to Gaurikund. From Gaurikund, start the trek to Kedarnath. The trek is 18 km long and takes about 6-8 hours to complete. Stay in a guesthouse or tent at Kedarnath. Day 5: In the morning, have darshan of Lord Shiva at Kedarnath Temple. Later, trek back to Gaurikund and take a shared taxi back to Guptkashi. Day 6: Drive from Guptkashi to Chopta Valley. Chopta is a beautiful village surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Visit the Deoria Tal lake for stunning views. Day 7: Drive from Chopta Valley to Sari Village. Sari Village is a small village located near the Nanda Devi National Park. Go for a short trek to Chitrakandi, a waterfall. Day 8: Drive from Sari Village to Badrinath. Badrinath is one of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites. Visit the Badrinath Temple and take a dip in the Tapt Kund. Day 9: Drive from Badrinath back to Haridwar/Rishikesh. I hope this helps!
