CHAR DHAM OF HIMALAYAS
The Getaway to meet Omnipresent, Omnipotent and the Omniscient
Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is a journey for the upliftment of soul and innermost self. Located in the Garhwal Himalaya ranges in
Uttarakhand, these are the four most sacred Hindu shrines that draw devotees from India and around the world. The purpose of this sacred
journey is to attain salvation, or moksha, the ultimate state of liberation in Hinduism. Char Dham Yatra is a pious pilgrimage tour to sacred
Badrinath (abode of Lord Vishnu), Kedarnath (abode of Lord Shiva), Gangotri (abode of goddess Ganga) and Yamunotri (abode of goddess
Yamuna) Shrines. There is another Char Dham, which consists of four holy sites scattered all over India. Established by Adi Shankaracharya,
these are Badrinath in Uttarakhand, Dwarka in Gujarat, Puri in Odisha and Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu.
The 4 Dham Temples in Uttarakhand is a journey to fulfill your transcendent quest. It's a journey to escape from the worldly charms to the
Eden- like paradise of almighty where the chaos of the world stops and ethereal harmony prevails. Each of the Dhams of this Hindu pilgrimage
circuit are dedicated to a different deity, and have their own major significance. Yamunotri, from where the Char Dham Darshan Tour begins,
is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, while Gangotri is dedicated to Goddess Ganga. Kedarnath, which is revered as one of the 12 jyotirlingas, is
dedicated to Lord Shiva, and Badrinath, which is also a part of the Char Dham established by Adi Shankaracharya, is dedicated to Lord Badri,
or Vishnu.
Badrinath
The Badrinath Temple also known as the Badrinarayan Temple, located in Uttarakhand's Badrinath town, is one of the
CHAR DHAM(four important pilgrimages) in the state. There are four pilgrim-destinations namely Yamunotri, Gangotri,
Kedarnath, and Badrinath, collectively known as Char Dham. These pilgrimage centres draw large number of pilgrims each
year, thus becoming the most important hubs of religious travel in the whole of Northern India.
Badrinath is located at an elevation of around 3,100 m. Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, on the banks of the Alaknanda
river, this sacred town lies between Nar and Narayana mountain ranges. The temple is believed to have been established
by sage Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. With Lord Vishnu as its presiding deity, the temple remains open for six
months in a year. In winter it becomes inaccessible due to heavy snowfall. To register for a pilgrimage, visi
Kedarnath Temple
One of the most revered temple destinations of India, Kedarnath town is nestled in the mighty Garhwal Himalayas. The
town, built around the revered Kedarnath temple, is located at an altitude of 3,580 m, near Chorabari glacier, which is the
source of the Mandakini river. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the ancient temple has exquisite architecture and is built of
extremely large but evenly shaped grey stone slabs. A conical rock formation inside the temple is worshipped as Lord Shiva
in his “Sadashiva” form. The Kedarnath temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a part of Char Dham pilgrimage circuit, and is
one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India. Behind the Kedarnath temple, stand the Kedarnath peak, Kedar Dome and
other Himalayan peaks.
Yamunotri
Yamunotri is a part of CHAREDHAM (along with Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath), the four most revered Hindu
pilgrimages in the Himalayas. The small mountain hamlet, with the Yamunotri Temple at its centre, attracts thousands of
devotees every year and is the commencing point of the Char Dham Yatra pilgrimage (May to October), which proceeds
from Yamunotri to Gangotri and finally to Kedarnath and Badrinath. Lodged in a narrow gorge, close to the source of the
Yamuna, the Yamunotri Temple is dedicated to Yamuna, the second-most sacred river after the Ganges. A dip in River
Yamuna is said to protect one from untimely death. Devotees either walk or ride a palanquin or a pony to reach the temple
(around 3,233 m above sea level) from Janki Chatti, a steep trek of about 3 km that takes about 3 hours.
Kapat is open now for darshan.

Gangotri
One of theCHAR DHAM (the most sacred pilgrimage circuits in northern India with four holy destinations), Gangotri, in
Uttarkashi, is a small town with the temple of Goddess Ganga at its heart. A 12-hour drive from Rishikesh, Gangotri is
nestled among lofty Garhwal Himalayan peaks, glaciers and dense forests, and is one of highest pilgrimages in India
(approx 3,415 m). Other than its divine atmosphere, Gangotri offers stunning vistas all around. According to Hindu legends,
the most sacred of all rivers, Ganges (or Ganga), descended from heaven to earth at Gangotri, when Lord Shiva released
the mighty river from his locks. The actual origin of the river is at Gaumukh in the Gangotri glacier, 19 km away from
Gangotri and is accessible by trekking. After it originates from Gaumukh, the river is known as Bhagirathi and it acquires the
name 'Ganga' after the river Alaknanda merges into it near the town of Devaprayag. Kapat is open now for darshan
