Chardham Yatra 2025

Chardham Yatra 2025

Char Dham Yatra refers to the four Hindu religious sites in the Uttarakhand state of India. These are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath. Nestled in the lap of the majestic Himalayas, these four sites are the epicentre of religious activity in north India. Traditionally, the Chardham Yatra is undertaken from the west to the east. Thus, the yatra starts from Yamunotri, then proceeds to Gangotri and finally to Kedarnath and Badrinath.

Amongst the four Char Dham, Yamunotri and Gangotri are dedicated to goddesses Yamuna and Ganga respectively. On the other hand, Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva while Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Moreover, people also visit Hemkund Sahib in the vicinity, which is one of the highest-located religious sites in the country. Thus, pilgrims visit all these places in aspiration of washing away their sins and to attain salvation, by the blessings of the Lord.

The great Himalayas are known as abode to several Hindu Gods and in Uttarakhand, there are a number of the most sacred Hindu temples. There are four very famous temples named Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath which are communally known as Char Dham and the journey of these four sacred shrines is called Char Dham Package. The Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand is considered one of the most propitious journeys for the Hindu devotees and this yatra is done by a lot of pilgrims from all over the world. The valour of the Gods and the natural beauty of the great Himalayas are an ideal combination that enhances the religious and spiritual affection of the Char Dham Package. Kindly go through the following description of all the four sacred shrines of Char Dham Package:

Yamunotr: The westernmost shrine of Yamunotri is one of the most visited shrines in Char Dham Package which is situated near the source of the river Yamuna. The Yamunotri temple, built by the King of Tehri Garhwal, Maharaja Pratap Shah, is located on the left bank of the river Yamuna. The river is considered a divine mother and a goddess for all the Hindus and has been an eminent part of the development of the civilization in north India.

Gangotri Dham is situated on the banks of river Bhagirathi at an elevation of almost 3200 m above sea level and is respected as one of the most sacred and holy shrines for the Hindus. Gangotri has an important place in the Char Dham Package. The Gaumukh Glacier, known as the source of the river Ganges is situated on a trek route from Gangotri. The Tourists who wish to visit Gaumukh Glacier need Government permission.

Kedarnath Kedarnath temple is considered the holiest pilgrimage among the most worshipped pilgrimages for Hinduism followers. There are twelve Jyotirlingas of the Lord Shiva and Kedarnath is one of those twelve Jyotirlingas, situated near the source of the river Mandakini at an elevation of 3585 m above sea level. To visit this temple there is a trek route of 14 km from Gaurikund. However, the temple can also be visited by a helicopter ride which starts from Phata. This temple is situated at the highest place of the Char Dham Package and has a very low oxygen level.

Badrinath: The most famous and the most visited dham among the Chardham is Badrinath which is also known as Badri Vishal, the fourth dham. The Neelkanth peak in the background, is located between Nar and Narayan peaks. Badrinath is the most venerated and the largest among the five Badris also called the Panch Badri.
