The Char Dham Yatra, often referred to as the Chhota Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand, is a sacred pilgrimage of great significance, particularly for Hindus. Explore this divine journey by booking a Char Dham Yatra travel package from our website and seek the blessings of the deities at these revered sites.
The pilgrimage involves visiting four holy shrines nestled in the majestic state of Uttarakhand:
1. Gangotri
Revering the Goddess Ganga, Gangotri is perched at an altitude of approximately 3,100 meters (10,200 feet). The revered Gangotri Temple is the main temple to visit here. The sacred Ganges River originates from the Gangotri Glacier, holding immense spiritual importance in Hinduism.
2. Yamunotri
As the westernmost shrine of the Char Dham, Yamunotri is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. Situated at around 3,293 meters (10,804 feet) in the Garhwal Himalayas, the Yamunotri Temple is a key pilgrimage site. Visitors can also experience the natural thermal hot springs, including the famous Yamunotri Kund—a truly unique wonder in this chilly region.
3. Kedarnath
The Kedarnath Temple, devoted to Lord Shiva, is among the most venerated Hindu temples. Located near the source of the Mandakini River at an elevation of approximately 3,583 meters (11,755 feet), the temple's spiritual ambiance is unmatched. It is also one of the oldest pilgrimage sites to visit.
4. Badrinath
Dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his Badri form, Badrinath Temple lies at an altitude of 3,133 meters (10,279 feet) on the banks of the Alaknanda River. This temple holds immense significance to Vaishnavas as it is one of the 108 Divya Desams. This sacred site offers both divine blessings and breathtaking views of the Himalayas.
The holy pilgrimage Char Dham Yatra typically begins and concludes in Haridwar or Rishikesh. Pilgrims visit each shrine sequentially, completing this spiritually uplifting circuit of four temples, thus called as Char Dham Yatra.
