The Sacred Journey

What is Char Dham Yatra?

"It is believed that completing the Char Dham Yatra relieves one from the cycle of birth and death, washes away all sins, and leads to Nirvana."

The Char Dham Yatra in the Garhwal Himalayas is a yatra of holy spiritual nature for Hindus. The four sacred shrines — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — are located in Uttarakhand's four directions.

The yatra is traditionally done from west to east. Pilgrims cleanse themselves in the holy rivers of Ganga and Yamuna, seek Lord Shiva's forgiveness at Kedarnath, then arrive at Badrinath — abode of Lord Vishnu — to commit to a pure life ahead.

The journey from Haridwar is a gradual ascent through beautiful valleys, lofty green forests of Garhwal, passing through famous hill stations such as Mussoorie and Chopta.
