Chardham Yatra Tour

Chardham Yatra Tour (The most important Hindu pilgrimage circuit in the Indian Himalayas)

Char dham yatra is one of the most famed spiritual journeys of Hinduism. Hindu people believes that by the blessings of Lord, this holy journey would aid them to attain salvation i.e moksha. Even it is said that after completion of Char dham Yatra, all our past sins are washed away. The char dham yatra has been practiced since ancient times and even today around three lakh visitors take this trip during the annual pilgrim season. Char means four and Dham means the abode of god. These four shrines are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Shri Kedarnath, and Shri Badrinath. Although people do visit them one at a time some times, but most oft, people like to go for a char dham yatra. That means a journey where they visit all of them one after another in one journey.

The Chardham must be visited from left to right -beginning with Yamunotri, going on to Gangotri, Kedarnath and culminating the journey at Badrinath. This route follows the Hindu tradition of parikrama or clockwise circumambulation. Explore these places and have a deep communication with the Lord Almighty up in the misty heights of the majestic Garhwal Himalayas in the magnificent state of Uttarakhand.
