Is the Maha Char Dham Yatra available as a fixed-price package?

This itinerary includes domestic flights given the pan-India distances involved; pricing depends on hotel category and season.

Can this yatra be done in a shorter time frame?

A faster, flight-heavy version can be arranged on request, though this reduces time at each site.
