Descriptions

The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is a revered pilgrimage journey that takes devotees to four sacred shrines: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, each site holds profound spiritual significance and is dedicated to a different deity. Yamunotri and Gangotri are the sources of the holy rivers Yamuna and Ganges, respectively, while Kedarnath is a prominent temple of Lord Shiva, and Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The yatra not only offers a deeply spiritual experience but also showcases the breathtaking natural beauty of Uttarakhand, making it a journey of both devotion and adventure.
