CHAR DHAM

09 Nights 10 Days

Char Dham

There are four shrines together, Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, collectively known as the Char Dham, amid the tranquil heights of the Great Himalayas. These pilgrimages attract the maximum number of pilgrims each year, thus becoming the most important centres of religious pilgrimage throughout Northern India. Traditionally, the Chardham Yatra travels from west to east, thus, the journey starts from Yamunotri, then continues to Gangotri and finally to Kedarnath and Badrinath.

Visiting Char Dham temples in Uttarakhand is a unique experience as each Dham in this Hindu pilgrimage site is dedicated to a different deity and has a great significance of its own. It is believed that every Hindu should visit the Char Dham in his lifetime. A pilgrimage to see God is a life- changing, bliss-flourishing, karma-alleviation contact with God. Another small circuit in Uttarakhand of four pilgrimage sites – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath is called Chota Char Dham.
