A Char Dhamyatra isn't easy. Pilgrims really need to earn the benefits bestowed, as only two of the temples (Badrinath and Gangotri) are accessible by vehicle. The remaining two (Yamunotri and Kedarnath) require treks. Kedarnath has the lengthiest trek.
The climb to the shrine from GauriKund, Rudrapayag is steeper than pilgrimage centres like Vaishno Devi (in Jammu) and Badrinath (which is located near Kedarnath). While there is a motorable road right up to the shrine in Badrinath, pilgrims have to walk almost 23 kilometres uphill to reach Kedarnath.
Yes, it is possible to go in your car but it's not safe as there are hilly areas and driving on hilly areas isn't easy.
