Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra Essential Guide

Pilgrimage to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath Temples

After the snow clears at the foothills of the Himalayas in late April, Hindu pilgrims start flocking to the four ancient temples known as Char Dham. Located high up in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand , these temples mark the spiritual source of four holy rivers: the Yamuna (at Yamunotri), the Ganges (at Gangotri), the Mandakini (at Kedarnath), and the Alaknanda (at Badrinath). Hindus consider visiting the Char Dham to be very auspicious. Not only is it believed to wash away all sins, it will also ensure release from the cycle of birth and death. There are a number of options for going on a Char Dham yatra (journey).

Char Dham Yatra Overview

The Char Dham are only open at certain times of the year from late April or early May to November. May and June is the peak pilgrimage period. The monsoon season (July to September) can quite dangerous as the rain makes the route slippery.

How Can the Char Dham be Reached?

A Char Dham yatra isn't easy. Pilgrims really need to earn the benefits bestowed, as only two of the temples (Badrinath and Gangotri) are accessible by vehicle. The remaining two (Yamunotri and Kedarnath) require treks. Kedarnath has the lengthiest trek. It takes around 10-12 days to visit all the temples. However, it's now possible to cover all the temples in two days by helicopter.

To help ensure the safety of pilgrims, a medical checkup has been introduced for those trekking to Kedarnath temple. Special checkup points are provided en-route for this. In addition, all pilgrims going on the Char Dham Yatra must complete biometric registration. It can be done online here or at designated registration centers in Uttarakhand. There will be regular weather updates provided along the route, as well as telecommunication network coverage, mobile medical facilities, and a control room. 

Where are the Char Dham Located?

• Badrinath and Gangotri -- are both directly reachable by road from Haridwar , Rishikesh , Kotdwar, and Dehradun.
• Yamunotri -- the trek starts from Janki Chatti, 225 kilometers (140 miles) from Rishikesh .
• Kedarnath -- the trek starts from Gaurikund, 207 kilometers (130 miles) from Rishikesh .

Are there any Tour Packages?

Although it's not difficult to make your own travel arrangements for a Char Dham yatra, there are plenty of Char Dham packages available as well. Two options are:

• Government-operated Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam organizes package tours by bus every year from May to November. There are plenty of options from seeing only one temple to all four temples. It's possible to include the Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib too. Most tours depart from Rishikesh but some leave from Haridwar or Dehradun, depending on the itinerary. The shortest tour is four nights and the longest is 11. Tours are priced from around 10,000 rupees per person. Some have shared accommodations and bathroom.
• If you'd prefer a more upmarket option, Leisure Hotels has set up luxury Chardham Camps at each of the sites and offers various package deals .
• Pilgrim Aviation is a reputable private company that offers helicopter tour packages.

Prefer to Go Your Own Way and Want More Information?

The temples are usually visited in clockwork direction, from west to east. This means you should see them in the following order: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Badrinath. Haridwar or Rishikesh are the starting points for transportation.

What is the Situation After the 2013 Flood At Kedarnath?

Substantial repair and reconstruction works have been carried after the flash flood in Uttarakhand, which caused extensive devastation and loss of life in the area around Kedarnath temple. This has made the trek much safer and more comfortable for pilgrims.

Nehru Institute of Mountaineering has repaired the damaged stretch of track from Gaurikund to Rambara and made a new track from Rambara to Kedarnath. In addition, accommodation and sanitation facilities have been improved. There are resting points, toilets, tea stalls, medical facilities, police stations, and State Disaster Response Force patrols on the route. Emergency helipads have been constructed in various locations, and an early warning alarm system has been installed to provide alerts about any disasters on the route and around the lake there.

How to Visit Badrinath Temple

Badrinath temple is the most accessible and thus most popular of the Char Dham. You'll find this temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, surrounded by a rather untidy village and overshadowed by the towering, snow-topped, Nilkantha peak.

When is Badrinath Temple Open?

The opening date is decided by priests on Basant Panchami in February, while the closing date is decided on  Dussehra . Generally, the temple remains open for around 10 days after Diwali . The opening date for 2021 has been announced as May 18.

How Can Badrinath Temple be Reached?

Read more about Badrinath temple and how to visit it in this complete guide.

How to Visit Gangotri Temple

The simple shrine of Gangotri temple has special significance for Hindu pilgrims. It's considered to be one of the holiest places in India as it's regarded as the spiritual source of the ever powerful Ganges River. Set amidst rugged mountains and forest, Gangotri attracts almost 300,000 pilgrims a year. Every evening towards 8 p.m., an aarti (worship with fire) is held at the temple.

When is Gangotri Temple Open?

Gangotri temple opens on a set day every year. This falls on Akshaya Tritiya (an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar), in the last week of April or first week of May.  In 2021, Gangotri will open on May 14. The occasion features a traditional procession of the Goddess Ganga back from her winter home at Mukhyamath temple in Mukhba village, 20 kilometers (12 miles) downstream. The temple closes on Diwali every year, and the Goddess returned to Mukhyamath temple.

How Can Gangotri Temple be Reached?

Gangotri is most popularly reached from Rishikesh (12 hours away) via Uttarkashi (six hours away). It's possible to take a bus or jeep to get there. Guesthouses and a GMVN Tourist Bungalow provide accommodations for those who want to stay.

Trekking to the Actual Source of the Ganges River

If you don't mind a strenuous trek, you can actually go to where the Ganges River emerges from a glacier above Gangotri. The actual source is an ice cave called Gaumukh (meaning Cow's Mouth), 18 kilometers (11 miles) up. Three days are required to complete the return trek, with around six hours of trekking a day. You can stay in a dormitory at a GMVN Tourist Bungalow along the way at Bhojbasa. It's situated around six hours from Gangotri and three hours from Gaumukh.

How to Visit Yamunotri Temple

The Yamunotri temple lies close to the source of the Yamuna River, the second holiest river in India, which flows all the way down past the Taj Mahal . The temple is relatively undeveloped as it's the least visited of the Char Dham. However, there is a certain magic to be experienced from the pristine mountain air, running water, natural scenic beauty, and enthusiastic devotees. Pilgrims also get to enjoy a number of hot water springs in the vicinity of the temple.

When is Yamunotri Temple Open?

The same as Gangotri temple, Yamunotri temple opens every year on Akshaya Tritiya (an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar). It falls in the last week of April or first week of May. In 2021, it is on May 14. The temple also closes for the season on Diwali. On the day the temple opens, the Goddess is carried from the nearby village of Kharsali (said to be Yamuna's mother's home), installed in the temple, and duly returned when the temple closes.

How Can Yamunotri Temple be Reached?

The route by road is Haridwar/Rishikesh-Dehradun-Mussoorie-Naugaon-Barkot–Hanuman Chatti. The journey to the village of Hanuman Chatti, which is around 14 kilometers from the Yamunotri temple, takes around eight hours from Rishikesh and six hours from the hill station of Mussoorie . From there, it's necessary to take a shared taxi (departures every few minutes) to Janki Chatti. Your trek starts there! It's only 5 kilometers (3 miles) to the Yamunotri temple, via Kharsali, but it's a very steep and and in some parts narrow climb. As a result, people usually take around two hours to cover the distance and it really helps if you take a locally available walking stick. If you find you don't want to walk, there are mules and men to help carry you.

Basic guesthouses and GMVN Tourist Bungalows provide accommodations at Yamunotri, Janki Chatti, and Hanuman Chatti. If you stay the night at Yamunotri, you'll be able to witness the evening aarti (worship with fire) there.

Is it Possible to See the Actual Source of the Yamuna River?

The origin of the Yamuna River is a frozen lake and glacier located around a kilometer above the temple. Unless you have mountaineering skills, the climb isn't advised though. It's a very difficult one.

How to Visit Kedarnath Temple

The most remote and holiest of the Char Dham, although Kedarnath temple requires effort to get to, it still draws more than 100,000 pilgrims a year. This is because it's considered to be the seat of Lord Shiva and the most important of the 12 Jyotirlingas (large lingas /shrines to Shiva) in India. It's an impressive temple too -- perhaps the largest and most magnificent one in the Himalayas. Situated high up in Lord Shiva's territory, it occupies a glacial terrace leftover from a long ago melted glacier, in the Mandakini Valley.

When is Kedarnath Temple Open?

The opening date is decided by priests on Maha Shivaratri in late February or early March each year. In 2021, it will open on May 17. The temple closes the day after Diwali each year.

How Can Kedarnath Temple be Reached?

The route to Kedarnath starts off at Rishikesh and heads in the same direction as to Badrinath, but branches off at Rudraprayag (where connections are available). The destination is Gaurikund, 14 kilometers (9 miles) from Kedarnath. The whole journey from Rishikesh takes around 12 hours by bus or jeep. Then, from Gaurikund, it's a grueling uphill trek to the temple. Expect it to take around six hours. The stunning scenery of the Mandakini River along the way helps though! Those who don't feel up to walking can opt to take a pony, which will reduce the duration of the trek by an hour. There are porters available to help carry luggage as well.

Alternatively, Kedranath temple is also accessible by helicopter! The Uttarakhand government provides services departing from various locations and online bookings can be made here . Other options are Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd (owned by the Indian government) and private company Pilgrim Aviation . A one way trip only takes 15 minutes.

Where to Stay?

In terms of accommodations, basic GMVN Tourist Bungalows can be found at Gaurikund. Following the devastating 2013 flash flood, which destroyed infrastructure around the temple, the government has constructed tent colonies to accommodate pilgrims. New sanitation facilities, including toilets and bathrooms, have been added along with community kitchens.

Char Dham Yatra – Uttrakhand – How to plan a trip [Complete Travel Guide]

Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is collectively referred to as the Chota Char Dham of India. The four Abodes in Himalayas includes four holy shrines of Hindus: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri.

All four of these temples are situated within the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The prominence of the Charm Dham Yatra is immense amongst Hindus. Moreover, it is believed that every Hindu should do Char Dham Yatra at least once in their lifetime.

One the most popular pilgrimage route, Chota Char Dham Yatra is undertaken by quarter of a million of devotees each year paying homage. With the hope of eliminating all sins to attain salvation by the blessings of the Lord.

In fact, devotees visit the shrines not only from India, but, also there is immense growing popularity among foreign tourists, visiting out of curiosity and wanting to learn more about India, its culture.

Given the stunning beauty, the Himalayan charm, dense forests, large valleys and epic nature all around – Char Dham Yatra makes for the most majestic of journeys to partake in.

Let's quickly dive into the details:

About Char Dham Yatra

As a brief, Kedarnath is devoted to Lord Shiva while Badrinath is devoted to Lord Vishnu. Yamunotri and Gangotri are dedicated to Goddesses Ganga and Yamuna rivers respectively.

Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand can be covered in one go, taking about 10-15 days (depending on your schedule). In fact, you may also get helicopter services to cover Char Dham in a matter of two days.

History of Char Dham

The Great Reformer and Philosopher, Adi Shankaracharya, gathered together these Holy Pilgrimage places into a spiritual circuit around the 8th century. Generation followed generations and hundreds of thousands of devotees have kept up the tradition of covering these pilgrimage spots every year.

However, it should be noted that during Winter season all Char dham are closed for Six month due to Heavy snowfall all temples are inaccessible. The Gods and Goddesses are moved to their “Winter abodes” during this time.

Opening and Closing Dates of the Yatra

Usually, the period for partaking in this Yatra is from April End – October End. However, each year the Uttarakhand Government announces the dates of the opening and closing of the circuit. In the winter times, the 4 shrines are moved to their winter sojourns.

Namely, Ukhimath, Joshimath, Mukhba and Kharsali for the deities of Kedarnath, Badrinath , Gangotri and Yamunotri respectively. The gates to all these winter Dhams remain open for devotees – thus, technically you may visit the shrines all year long (albeit not in the same locations)

How to get there

In order to embark upon the Chota Char Dham Yatra, you’ll need to reach Haridwar. Here’s how.

Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun is the nearest airport. In fact, from here, you may even take up a Helicopter service to Kedarnath and Badrinath. These are available from Delhi, Dehradun, Phata, Augustmuni and Gauchar near Rudraprayag and Dehradun.

Rishikesh, Haridwar, Kotdwar and Dehradun are well connected to major cities of India by Railway Network. From here you can get bus or you can hire taxi as well towards your onwards journey.

Char Dham Yatra Route

As per the Hindu Mythology, the auspicious and ever-so-important Yatra should be undertaken from west to east, in order to cover the holy places in a clockwise manner. Thus, it means that you should start off your pilgrimage from Yamunotri, then proceed to Gangotri, Kedarnath and finish your journey at Badrinath.

About the Char Dham Yatra

While the journey is a beautiful one, I want to highlight the importance of each of the shrines.

Yamunotri Dham

The original source of Yamuna River, Yamunotri is surrounded by stunning high forested peaks and a large valley. Yamuna is known to be the second largest and one of the holiest river in India after Ganga. As per the Hindu mythology, it is believed that Yamuna is the daughter of Surya (God of Son) & the sister of Yama (God of Death).

It is believed that you will be washed of your sins when you visit Yamunotri. Given the tough journey, faith, and transcendent significance of the river motivates the pilgrims to their destination. Distinctive features of Yamunotri include hot springs where raw rice is cooked and turned into prasad. Also, there many holy shrines, ashrams and temples in and around the Dham.

Yamunotri is located at an altitude of 3293 mts, in the Garhwal region and situated about 40 km away from Barkot in Uttarkashi. While the actual source of Yamuna lies in the Yamunotri Glacier, at an elevation of 6,387 mts near Bandarpunch Peaks.

Other places of interest nearby include Surya Kund, Divya Shila, Janki Chatti, Hanuman Chatti, Saptarishi Kund Lake etc.

History and Importance of Yamunotri

The temple at Yamunotri is dedicated to goddess Yamuna. It should be noted that the main Deity of the temple is made up of Black marble. Built by Maharani Gularia of Jaipur in the 19th century, the current temple was created after the previous one was destroyed by climate activity.

The Yamunotri Shrine was originally constructed by Maharaja Pratap Shah of Tehri Garhwal on left seashore of Yamuna River.

Gangotri Dham

Unarguably the most important river for Hindus, Ganga is the most sacred river in the world. Gangotri is one of the origin sources of Ganga (Ganges). It should be noted here that the foremost source of the river is “Gaumukh” – a glacier located 19 km from the Gangotri temple.

Dheeraj Sharma

Gangotri is located on the banks of Bhagirathi river at an altitude of 3100 mts. Gangotri is the starting point of Ganga. It should be noted that the river Bhagirathi attains the name Ganga from Devprayag. This is where Bhagirathi meets with Alaknanda to form Ganga.

The temple opens on the auspicious day of Akshay Tritiya (usually in the month of May) and closes down on Yama Dwitiya or Bhai Duj (usually falling in October/ November).

Ganga water is the purest form of blessing and is used in Poojas (prayers) or offering in temples. In fact, pilgrims carry the auspicious water from here as a way to carry Prasad and blessings for future prayers.

Gangotri is the home place of many varieties of flora and fauna. There are several temples in Gangotri where visitors can learn the history behind the creation of Ganga River.

History and Importance of Gangotri Temple

As per Hindu Mythology, Ganga was born as a result of prize given Shivji to king Bhagirath for his penance. However, owing to her superiority as well as the fact that Earth would be overwhelmed if Ganga came down in full force, Shivji caught her in his locks.

There is a sacred stone near the Gangotri temple that denotes the place where Ganga first came down to earth in the river form. This is why Ganga is also called by the name of Bhagirathi (i.e. the daughter of Bhagirath).

The Gangotri temple in its present form was constructed by Gorkha Commander Amar Singh Thapa in the 18th Century. It is believed that at the time of construction of the current temple, the Gaumukh glacier was present here – however it has receded to its current location due to global warming and climate change.

Kedarnath Dham

One of the most sacred pilgrimages in India, Kedarnath temple is located on the bank of Mandakini river at an altitude of 3584 mts. Historically, this region was known as “Kedar Khand”. Kedarnath temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Shivji in India.

Flanked by breathtaking snow-capped peaks, Kedarnath is the most remote locations on the Char Dham Yatra. The town itself is stunningly beautiful and the scenic beauty tends to attract a lot of pilgrims, with huge crowds flocking the region in the summer months of May and June. Also, the Kedarnath trek is quite famous amongst the trekker tribe.

It should be mentioned here that the 2013 floods did huge damage to the region. In fact, the fact that the temple is still standing has been the source of massive reverence. Prior to the 2013 floods, Gaurikund was the last destination on Kedarnath route, but with the floods in 2013, a new trekking route is under process.

This route will be approximately 21 kms of trekking, which will either start from Sonprayag or Sitapur. As of now, helicopter is the best way to reach Kedarnath temple.

Currently, only accommodation near the dham are campsites due to the excessive damage from the floods.

In terms of thingy to do nearby, you may visit Chorabari tal (Gandhi Sarovar), Vasukital, Gaurikund, Trijuginarayan, Ukhimath, Panch Kedar, Madmaheshwar, Tungnath, Chopta, DeoriaTal and Rudranath etc.

History and Importance of Kedarnath Temple

Dedicated to incarnations of Shivji, Kedarnath is named after King Kedar, a ruler from Satya Yuga. This is the place where Shivji is said to have absolved the Pandavas from killing their own cousins Kauravas in the Mahabharata.

In fact, there is an interesting story behind the town and its temple. According to the Puranas, the Pandava brothers did a major penance in Kedarnath to please Shivji.

Earlier the temple was built by Pandavas and Present temple was built by Adi Shankaracharya. Just Behind the temple you will see samadhi of Adi Shankaracharya.

Badrinath Dham

Badrinath is an important holy shrine for Vaishnavites and is one of the 108 divya desams incarnation of Vishnuji. Also, Badrinath the town is part of Panch Badri temples which include Yog Dhyan Badri, Bhavishya Badri, Adi Badri and Vriddha Badri, along with Badrinath temple.

And, Badrinath is situated at an altitude of about 3415 mts in the Chamoli District of Uttarakhand. Located in Silent valley of Garhwal, Badrinath lies on the shores of Alaknanda river. The town is known for its stunning beauty, pleasant weather, thick forest cover as well as the beautiful views of snow clad mountains along the holy river flowing through the surrounding green valley.

Badrinath is the home to many celebrations including Kedar-Badri Utsav, Janam-ashtami, Mata Mruti Ka Mela. Nearby places that should be visited include Panch Prayag temple, Badhri Naryanan Temple, Vasudhara Falls, Hot Geyser (tapt kunds or hot water springs), Bheem Pul, Mana Village etc.

History & Importance of Badrinath Temple

The original Badrinath temple was built Adi Shankaracharya, who initially discovered the Badrinarayan idol in the Alakananda River. It was he who moved the shrine into the hot water springs of Tapt Kund. Due to natural time taking course, there was a need for a new temple to be built.

The Present temple was built by King of Garhwal in 16th century. The stunning ornament stones, traditional carving, pillar designs will take your breath away at the first look! In terms of the architecture, the appearance is similar to the Buddhist Vihara temple.

In the Satya yuga, Shivji meditated here for thousands of years while Goddess Lakshmi provided shadow over her husband in the form of a Badri tree. So, this is how the place for its name for Badrinath!

In fact, the entire valley surrounding Kedar-Badri was said to be the home of Shivji. This is the reason Badrinath becomes a main-stay around Mahashivratri when the festival is celebrated with full pomp-and-circumstance.

Itinerary for the Chota Char Dham Yatra

Day 1: delhi to haridwar.

Start your journey towards Haridwar from Delhi, covering 210 KMs in 6 hours’ worth of driving time. I would suggest reaching Haridwar as early as possible. This will leave you ample time to explore one of the holiest places in India – the gateway to the God and one of the oldest living world cities.

One of the MUST DO things (apart from exploring the many lanes and paths of the city) includes the magic of the evening Aarati (worship with fire) wherein all lamps are lit and prayers are offered at the Har ki Pauri (Steps of God). For Hindus, a dip in the auspicious Ganges leads to a washing off of all sins and a source of attaining liberation from the endless cycle of death and rebirth.

Day 2: Haridwar to Barkot

Start your day off as early as possible and after a dip in Ganga, you start your journey towards the first dham – Yamunotri – daughter of Surya & sister of Yam. Today’s travel towards Barkot will take you about 10 hours, covering 200 KMs.

Barkot is situated at an elevation of 1220 mts. Do remember to explore the little hamlet, even though the journey of your day today would be quite long. Modern civilization has not quite touched the place and you’ll be drawn in by the rituals and the ways of the city.

The surrounding views are insanely mesmerizing and include peaks of Bandar Punch that are snow-capped throughout the year. I suggest this as an overnight stop on your way to Yamunotri to keep you fresh and feeling alive throughout the journey! The views will forever be embedded in your memories, trust me.

Day 3: Barkot / Yamunotri/ Barkot

After an early breakfast, you’ll start your journey towards the first dham in earnest. With 36 KMs of driving along with a 7 KM trek, you’ll reach Yamunotri in around 5 hours today. If you plan on hiring a horse or a Doli, that will cost you anywhere from INR 1000 – 2500.

However, do note these rates may vary depending on when in season you visit and the number of tourists at that particular time.

Yamunotri was the home of sage, Asit Muni. Yamuna is the daughter of the Surya (God of Sun) and Sarayyu. Her brother is Yama (God of Death). It is believed that Yama would not torment any individual at the time of death who bathes in Yamuna, his sister. It is Yamuna, holder of infinite love and compassion, who can grant us freedom from even death, in the realm of her elder brother.

After having visited the shrine and nearby places, you’ll return to Barkot for your onward journey.

Day 4: Barkot / Gangotri

This day begins with an early morning as well. If you’re not completely fit – you might feel fatigued from the previous day’s journey. Hence, I do recommend you get to bed early to get full night’s rest for your day today!

Today’ you’ll be covering 210 KMs in about 9 hours’ worth of driving time. Do remember to take breaks. I particularly recommend stopping over at Gangnani – a hot water spring enroute. If you learn by 6 AM, you should hope to arrive at Gangotri by 3:30 PM.

Today is the day you visit your 2nd Dham, Gangotri, the origin of Ganga and seat of the goddess Ganga. The origin of the holy river is at Gaumukh, set in the Gangotri Glacier, and is a 19 km trek from Gangotri.

According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Ganga took the form of a river to absolve the sins of King Bhagirath’s predecessors, following his severe penance to Shivji spanning several centuries.

There is no other river as closely associated with Hinduism as Ganga. Respected since time immemorial as THE spiritual purifier, giver of health and prosperity – Ganga is part of the country’s religious fabric.

Visiting Gangotri is truly among the most blessed experiences of a Hindu’s life; and as uplifting and inspiring for any traveler.

Day 5 – Gangotri /Uttarkashi

Today, you may start your journey relatively leisurely. Waking up in Gangotri is an experience unto itself and should be treated as such. There are not many places where you feel peace quite like you’d here!

Today, after taking in the experience as much as you can – you start your journey towards Uttarkashi. Uttarkashi literally translates to the Banaras (i.e. Kashi) of the North. Today’s journey will take you 4 hours to cover 95 KMs.

Uttarkashi, a small town at an elevation of 1588 mts, is situated between Varuna and Ashi rivers. These rivers slow into the Bhagirathi from either side of the town. Given its similarities to Kashi – the city enjoys similar ghats and temples like the city it is named after.

When you’re here, do remember to visit the Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Shivji. Other temples you must visit include Annapurna Temple and Bhairav Temple. Also, it is believed that in the second millennium of Kaliyug (the current ongoing yuga), Kashi (i.e. Banaras) will be submerged, and Uttarkashi will replace it as an important religious centre.

Day 6: Uttarkashi / Sitapur

Another day when you will have an early wakeup call & breakfast. Today you’ll be reaching your destination of Sitapur, covering 212 KMs worth of journey in around 10 hours of driving time. Sitapur is situated at an elevation of roughly 1820 mts, just 7 kms from Gaurikund and 26 kms from Guptkashi.

Sitapur is situated only 2 kms from Son Prayag, lying at the confluence of Basuki and Mandakini rivers. It is said that a mere touch of the holy water from this holy site of Son Prayag helps the individual to attain the “Baikunth Dham”.

Another religiously important location is the Triyuginarayan – the marriage place of Lord Shiva and Parvati. This is situated at a distance of 14 kms by bus and 5 kms on foot from here.

In order to reach Kedarnath – you’ll be trekking from here. However, do remember to bathe in the hot water pond here and visit the Gauri Devi temple. This is the place where Goddess Parvati meditated to attain Lord Shiva.

Day 7: Sitapur/ Gaurikund/ Kedarnath

Today is going to be a long day with lots of physical activity! After an early breakfast you’ll proceed to Gaurikund, taking you two hours of driving time. Do remember to pack lunch and carry sufficient water for the day today.

From Gaurikund, you will start your trekking in earnest. Overnight, you’ll be staying in Kedarnath (mostly camping accommodations are available since the destruction of 2013 floods). Overall, you’ll be covering 32 Kms from Sitapur to Gaurikund by driving and then another 14 KMS of trek. This entire journey will take you about 9 hours in total.

The third dham is possible the remotest dhams you’ll be covering. Located in Shivji’s own home – the shrine is majestic and the natural setting is breath-taking.

From the towering mountains covered in snow, the plummeting streams and rivers, and lush green meadows and forests — and the arduous trek that gets you to it, serve to further cement the deep-rooted faith that this temple inspires!

This site is almost unchanged for centuries and has a spiritual energy of its own! For the devotees of Shivji, this is the last frontier, the ultimate path to salvation!

For the trekking part a Horse & doli are both decent options in case you’re unable to manage the trek. The cost ranges from INR 1000 to 2500. Though these rates are subject to change dependent on the number of pilgrims and the time of your journey during the season.

Day 8: Kedarnath / Rudraprayag

Today, you’ll be moving from Kedarnath to Rudraprayad after an early morning breakfast at Gaurikund. Today’s journey will be 75 KMs along with a 14 Km trek. You should reach Gaurikund by 11 AM and Rudraprayad at 3:30 PM, if you leave from Kedarnath around 6 AM. You will be stopping at Sitapur for lunch.

What we know as Garhwal today was earlier known as the Kedar-Khand in the past. In fact, Puranas will tell you that Kedar-Khan is the abode of God. The scriptures of Ramayana and Mahabharata were scripted here.

Also, named after Shivji (Rudra), Rudraprayag is situated at the holy confluence of Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers, at a distance of 34 kms from Srinagar (Garhwal, UK).

This confluence is particularly beautiful as if the two sisters are embracing each other! Here, it is believed that Narad Muni worshipped Shivji – who appeared here in his Rudra Avatar (incarnation) to bless Narad. The complete area is blessed with enormous natural splendor, places of sacred prominence, lakes and glaciers.

Day 9: Rudraprayag/ Badrinath

Not as early as yesterday – you’ll start your journey towards your final dham – Badrinath. After breakfast, you’ll be travelling a distance of 160 KMs, taking you around 8 hours of driving time to cover the distance! Ensure you leave early enough to reach Badrinath in time for evening Darshan and Pooja at the temple.

Badrinath and its route is a journey of beginning. The pilgrims visiting the spine always mention that the landmarks and vistas continually deliver a fresher view, a diverse feeling, an additional nuance to an experience.

It is said that this is the toughest leg of the journey and often times, it can be unforgiving, but only to a closed minded person. The journey from Rishikesh to Badrinath, as Sir Edmund Hillary rightfully noted in his expeditions, is, in many ways, a journey from the ocean to the sky, as much mental as physical. And another route to heaven – and spiritual liberation.

Day 10: Badrinath / Birhi

Coming to a close for your spiritual awakening – you’ll have a leisurely morning wakeup call and only depart post lunch for Birhi. Today’s journey is 95 KMs, taking you 5 hours to complete.

Day 11: Birhi/Rishikesh

After breakfast at Birhi, proceed to Rishikesh. This journey will take you 160 KMs and 7 hours to complete.

It will be a brilliant idea to also explore Rishikesh while you’re here. Situated in the foothills of Himalayas, has some of the most pleasing views as well as the most soul calming vibes!

With Ganga spreading the happiest of emotions around – Rishikesh truly is one of the most mesmerizing places in the country. Do remember that Rishikesh is a vegetarian city by law, as well as an alcohol-free city.

In terms of places to visit – do remember to check out the oh-so-famous Laxman Jhulla, Ram jhulla and several ghats in and around this holy town.

Day 12: Rishikesh/Delhi

Head on back to your original location! Carry the peace, tranquility and happiness with you for a long time! The peace is quite like no other!

Char Dham Yatra Travel Tips

• Remember to check the exact opening and closing dates of the Yatra.
• Given that this Yatra holds immense importance for over a billion Hindus in the world – it is advisable that you remember to be kind along the way. For example, remember to cover your heads, remove shoes before entering any holy place.
• Ensure you’re not littering anywhere on this trip. The hills and secluded locations need to be kept in their pristine conditions to ensure the bio-diversity of the region.
• Carry heavy woolen clothes to protect from cold weather during the month of October-November and carry moderate woolen during Summer Season. Remember to dress in layers as the weather can change at the drop of a hat in the hills.
• Do carry creams, moisturizers, sunscreen creams.
• Pack a medical kit with painkillers, antibiotics, cough lozenges, Antiseptic cream, Iodine, tube-squeeze cream and medicines for cold and fever along with your routine medicines.

• Do not take pictures if cameras are not allowed in any particular area. Do not play with the sentiments of any particular religion.
• At least a month before the Yatra, it is advisable to start preparatory exercises
• Carry extra batteries and films for your camera, as electricity is not regular in such remote places.
• Do not travel in the rainy season as there are a lot of landslides during that time.
• Book hotel rooms in advance if you are travelling close to the temple opening dates, there is a heavy rush of pilgrims.
• Alcohol or non-vegetarian food is not permitted during Char Dham Yatra Tour.

The Chota Char Dham Yatra is one of the most significant journeys in the life of a Hindu. Situated in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, you can cover the entire Yatra in a matter of 10-15 days.

FAQs about Chardham Tour Packages

Q. What are the opening and closing dates of the Chardham Yatra? A. Prior to going ahead and booking one of the Chardham packages, you need to ascertain what time of the year you are going to be travelling and whether or not the Chardham Yatra is open at that time of the year. Chotta Chardham comprises Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri, with the temples marking the sources of Hinduism’s four rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, Mandakini and Alaknanda. The Chardham Yatra remains open between April to the first half of November. Although the specific dates are announced by the state government of Uttarakhand annually and it states the opening and closing dates of the circuit. In the winter, the deities are moved to their winter abode such as Joshimath for Badrinath, Ukimath for Kedarnath, Mukhba for Gangotri and Kharsali for Yamunotri. These winter abodes stay open round the year and you can visit them in that season in case you cannot make it to Chardham within the stipulated period. Q. What is the significance of Gangotri in Chardham Yatra? A. As you go through Chardham tour packages, make sure you have enough time at Gangotri, the source of Hinduism’s holiest river, the Ganges. The holiest shrine in the country, the Gangotri Temple is greatly revered for being the source the Ganga River. Legend has it that the rock on the site acted like a shield to save the planet from the disaster the river could have otherwise wrecked as it poured out of Lord Shiva’s matted locks sitting in Mount Kailash. It is believed that Lord Shiva placed the rock in that position to stop the onslaught of the gushing waters. The temple was built in the 18 th century by Gorkha commander, Amar Singh Thapa. It is Gaumukh which is the original source of the Ganges, but the Gaumukh glacier is about 19 kilometre up ahead of the Gangotri Temple. The temple opens its doors on Akshay Tritiya usually in May and closes down on Bhai Dhuj in late-October or early-November. Pilgrims, believing in Ganga’s healing properties, take back bottles full of the holy water. There are several smaller shrines in the region, each home to a legend on the Ganges’ evolution that has its roots in mythology. Q. What route do you take on the Chardham Yatra? A. All Chardham holiday packages will mention in detail the route you would be taking on your tour of the pilgrimage circuit. Arrive in Haridwar from Delhi and then travel to Barkot. Barkot is the closest source of the Yamuna River, the Yamunotri, around 200 kilometre from Haridwar. Return to Barkot and now head towards Gangotri that is about 210 kilometre away. Proceed from Gangotri towards Uttarkashi, a scenic 95 kilometre drive. Continue to Sitapur from Uttarkashi that is around 212 kilometre away, and from there head to Gaurikund. Gaurikund would be the starting point of your 14 kilometre trek to the shrine of Kedarnath. After paying your respects at the Kedarnath Temple, continue to Rudraprayag that is about 75 kilometre away and from there proceed to Badrinath. Badrinath is about 160 kilometre from Rudraprayag. Visit the shrine and further arrive in Birhi, about 95 kilometre away. From Birhi Rishikesh is around 160 kilometres. Take a cab to get into Haridwar from Rishikesh and further to your onward destination. Q. Is Chardham yatra booking availabe in 2023? A. All vaccinated tourists will be allowed for Chardham Yatra from 14 May 2023. Q. What is the best time to go on a Chardham tour? A. The Chota Chardham circuit created in the 8th century by Adi Shankaracharya comprises Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. April to June is the best time to visit Chardham as the weather remains pleasant and you can do with some layering, although you would need sweaters after sunset as the temperatures drastically plummet. You must avoid a trip to Chardham in monsoon or winter when it gets very cold and the rains making the treks and hikes extremely treacherous. Q. Which are the places included in a Chardham trip? A. While the Chardham yatra involves Badrinath, Dwarka, Rameswaram and Puri, the Chota Chardham includes a visit to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri.

About Chardham Temples

YAMUNOTRI TEMPLE

Find Peace And Rejuvenation At Yamunotri Dham, The First Stop Of 4 Dham Pilgrimage Tour

At a height of 3,291 metres, YAMUNOTRI TEMPLE is located in the western part of the Garhwal Himalayas. The temple was constructed in the 19th century by Maharani Gularia of Jaipur. The temple was rebuilt by Maharaja Pratap Shah of Tehri Garhwal and is devoted to the river Yamuna, who is symbolised by a silver image that is covered in flowers. Yamunotri Temple is the first destination of 4 Dham Yatra circuit which defines a pious journey to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangorti and Yamunotri. Some people also plan for Gangotri Yamunotri Do Dham Yatra which only includes the journey to Yamunotri and Gangori, the two sources of India’s most holy rivers, Yamuna and Ganga, respectively. Hot springs that are spilling out of the mountain caves are close to the temple. The most significant Kund is the Suryakund. Before puja is done to the god, Divya Shila, a shrine located next to the Suryakund, is worshipped. The hot water springs are used by devotees to make rice and potatoes that are then tied in muslin cloth and offered to the shrine. Such prepared rice is brought home as prasadam.

GANGOTRI TEMPLE

Gangotri Dham, Where The Ganges Originates And The Soul Finds Peace.

As per Hindu mythology, it is assumed that the holy river Ganga descended on the planet in GANGOTRI. India's Uttarkashi, in the Uttarakhand region, is home to Gangotri Dham. It is one of India's most sacred pilgrimages and is situated among the majestic Garhwal Himalayan peaks, glaciers, and dense forests at a height of 3,415 metres. There are numerous ashrams, shrines, and temples in Gangotri. On the banks of the Bhagirathi River stands the Gangotri Temple, which honours the goddess, Ganga. The sacred rock, known as the "Bhagirath Shila," where King Bhagiri had bowed to Lord Shiva, is located near the temple. In the CharDham tour circuit, which also includes the three other holy sites of Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Yamunotri, it is the second and highest temple. The popular hikes Gaumukh, Gangotri National Park, Gangotri Glacier, Tapovan, and Bhojwasa all start from this base camp. The most significant temple of the Ganga was first constructed by Amar Singh Thapa in the early 18th century and was reconstructed by the King of Jaipur. Located 19 kilometres from Gangotri in Gaumukh in the Gangotri glacier, the river's real source is reachable by hiking.

KEDARNATH TEMPLE

Find Solace In The Lap Of The Himalayas At Kedarnath Dham Yatra

On the banks of the Mandakini River stands one of North India's fabled holy pilgrimages, KEDARNATH at a height of 3,568 metres. In the past, the entire region was referred to as Kedar Khand. Along the trip of 4 Dham Yatra, which includes the religious journey to four Himalayan holy sites, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri, this pilgrimage offers amazing views of the, majestic Himalayas in the distance. The most significant of the 200 Lord Shiva, shrines in India is considered to be Kedarnath. Similar to Gangotri Yamunotri Do Dham Yatra, people also plan for Badrinath Kedarnath Yatra, which only includes this Shiva temple and Badrinath. According to legend, when the Pandavas prevailed in the battle of Kurukshetra, they went in search of Lord Shiva, who avoided them in the Himalayas by taking the form of a buffalo. Only at a few holy locations, Kedarnath being one where the buffalo's hump was visible, were glimpses of him captured. Kedarnath, located in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas, only has one open season, as it remains open till autumn. During winters, the idol of Kedarnath is carried down to Ukhimath, in the lower terrain of the Himalayas.

BADRINATH TEMPLE

Badrinath Dham Yatra - A Journey To The Abode Of Lord Vishnu In The Himalayas

BADRINATH is one of the Vaishnavite holy places and is located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. There are 108 locations where Holi Vishnu has taken on human form, with Badrinath being one among the most significant. Badrinath is also known as Badri Vishal in Hindu mythology due to its enormous size. Adi GuruShankaracharya is claimed to have found Lord Badrinath and brought him back to this temple in the eighth century. Numerous accounts of Hindu tales and scriptures can be found at this temple. Over time, the Mahabharata legends were ingrained in this temple and gave rise to numerous stories that are associated with this revered trip. Shankaracharya discovered the black stone of Lord Badrinath on the Alaknanda River, and the king of Garhwal later placed it in this magnificent temple, which is guarded by Garud at its main entrance. Similarto Kedarnath, Badrinath Temple is also an important part of 4 Dham Yatra and it is one of the four holy sites in the upper Himalayas which is included in the 4 Dham tour circuit.

The history of Badrinath is believed to date back to thousands of years and is mentioned in Hindu scriptures such as the Mahabharata and the Puranas. According to legend, Lord Vishnu meditated at this site for several years and it was later rediscovered by Adi Shankaracharya, a Hindu saint and philosopher, in the 8th century.

The legend about Kedarnath goes back thousands of years according to Mahabharata and the Puranas. According to these Hindu scriptures, after Pandavas won the war of Kurukshetra, they were told to absolve themselves from the sin they committed in the battlefield. They sought redemption from Lord Shiva who was in no mood to forgive them easily and thus eluded himself in the Himalayas taking the shape of a buffalo. Pandavas only found glimpses of the buffalo in different places in the Himalayas which became religious places. Kedarnath is where the hump of the buffalo was seen whereas the arms were found in Tungnath, face at Rudranath, navel in Madmaheshwar and hair at Kalpeshwar. These five sites together are known as Panch Kedar and the journey towards them is called Panch Kedar Yatra.

Tucked in the lap of the Himalayas, Char Dham temples are the spiritual epicentre for Hindus in India. Char Dham, a term coined by the prehistoric Hindu philosopher Shri Adi Shankaracharya, refers to the four abodes of God – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that the Pandavas visited all the four shrines to absolve their sins before embarking on their journey to heaven. Till date, as April arrives, millions of devotees gather in Uttarakhand to undertake the tough Chardham Yatra, believing that it can open their gates to salvation. After starting from the origin of river Yamuna, Yamunotri Dham, pilgrims head towards the renowned Gangotri shrine. Thereafter, they visit Shri Kedarnath Dham, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and finally end their holy journey at Shri Badrinath Dham, the only Dham sacred to Lord Vishnu. If you’re spiritually inclined and seeking a Char Dham tour to reconnect with God and fill your mind with spirituality, then pick any of the Chardham yatra package 2024 by MakeMyTrip.

Start your enlightening Chardham Yatra by seeking blessings at the sacred Yamunotri temple. Located amidst a picturesque green valley, Yamunotri is the place where the Yamuna originates. As per Hindu mythology, Yamuna is the twin sister of Yama (God of Death), one of the Ashtabharya of Krishna and daughter of Surya (the Sun God). Approachable by a six-kilometre trek from Janki Chatti, the holy town is mainly known for the sacred Gangotri Dham. The temple features a black marble statue of Goddess Yamuna, sitting beside the white stone idol of Goddess Ganga. Apart from the temple, you must include an excursion to Diyva Shila and hot water springs of Surya Kund and Gouri Kund in your Char Dham itinerary. Around a kilometre away from the main shrine is the Yamuna Glacier, located at an altitude of 6387 metre near the Bandarpunch peak in the Lower Himalayas. As per the legends, taking a dip in the streams flowing through Yamunotri Dham can absolve all your sins.

One of the 12 Jyotirlingas sacred to Lord Shiva and a part of the Char Dham and Panch Kedars (a group of 5 Shiva temples in Garhwal Himalayas) circuit, Kedarnath temple is an ancient holy temple. Many stories are associated with the origin of the temple. As per some of them, the temple was built by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th Century. Other versions claim that the Pandavas worshipped Lord Shiva at the same place where the temple presently stands, to seek forgiveness for killing their cousins during the great war of Kurukshetra. Made of large grey stones, the temple has a Garbha Griha and a Mandap decorated with figures of various deities. To visit the temple, you will have to reach the last motorable point - Gaurikund and then walk or ride a pony for around 14 kilometres. However, if you’re booking a package with MakeMyTrip, you will also have an option to undertake Chardham Yatra by helicopter from Sirsi, Phata, or Guptakashi.

Badrinath temple, also known as Badrikashram, is the holiest of all the Char Dham temples where Lord Vishnu resides in his avatar of Badrinarayan. There are various stories associated with the origin of the Badrinath temple. As per one of them, Lord Vishnu once performed a rigorous meditation at this place. The meditation was so intense that he didn’t care about the weather conditions. To protect him from the scorching heat, Goddess Lakshmi took the shape of a Badri tree and spread over him. Lord Vishnu was so pleased by Goddess Lakshmi's devotion that he named the spot as Badrikashram. The black lingam stone in the temple was founded in the 8th century by Shri Adi Shankaracharya. After a few years, the lingam was enshrined in a cave, and later the Raja of Garhwal installed the deity by building a temple. It is said that visiting Badrinath can absolve all the sins of pilgrims. Another best part about Badrinath is that no trekking is required to reach the temple.

Women who are pregnant are also advised to skip the pilgrimage due to the higher altitude, weather conditions and other risks.

Ques. Which is the best month to go on a Char Dham Yatra?

All the four Dhams or temples (Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath) remain open only for half of the year. This is usually between April/May to October/November. The final dates are confirmed thereafter on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri by the Mandir Samiti. They are usually fixed by the priest of the famous Bhimashankar Linga Temple. Since the temples are positioned at higher altitudes, there is massive snowfall in the winter, making the committee close them in this period. Hence, you should plan your Chardham Yatra tour package in the stretch from April or May to October or November, as mentioned. Every winter, the Kedarnath Temple gates stay closed, while the idol is moved to the Ukhimath-based Omkareshwar Temple. The idols of the other Dhams are moved to and worshipped at the Shani Dev Temple in Kharsali, Mukhimath Temple in Mukba and the Vasu Dev Temple in Joshimath in the winter months.

Ques. Which is the nearest airport to the Char Dham pilgrimage?

Ans. While booking a Chardham Yatra package, you must also have an idea about the nearest airports for your journey. All the four Dhams are nearest to the Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun. It is only 55 kilometres away from Haridwar, while direct flights are also available between Delhi and Dehradun, for those coming from the national capital. Those booking chardham yatra packages from Bangalore or other cities will have to fly to Delhi and then take a connecting flight to Dehradun.

Char Dham Yatra – Travel Guide & Itinerary

As Char Dham temples are opened for pilgrims on Akshaya Tritiya day (April 18th, 2018), here is complete travel guide for Char Dham Yatra (Uttarakhand) along with detailed Itinerary. Also, explore the Char Dham tour package offered by Trawell.in for costing and a detailed tour plan.

Char Dham is referred to the four holiest pilgrimage sites in India that are widely revered by Hindus. These holy sites are Badrinath, Dwarka , Puri and Rameswaram situated in four different directions of India. The Char Dham defined by Adi Shankaracharya consists of three Vaishnavite and one Shaivite pilgrimage centers. The pilgrimage sites of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath in Uttarakhand were known as Chota Char Dham to differentiate them from the bigger circuit of Char Dham sites, but after the mid-20th century they have been also referred to as the Char Dham. Among four scared sites Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva while Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. On the other hand, Yamunotri and Gangotri are dedicated to Goddess Ganga and Yamuna rivers respectively. It is considered highly sacred by Hindus to visit Char Dham during one’s lifetime. These four ancient temples also marks the spiritual source of four sacred rivers – Ganga(Gangotri), Yamuna (Yamunotri), Mandakini (Kedarnath) and Alaknanda (Badrinath).

Char Dham Yatra is one of the most popular pilgrimage routes, with millions of devotees paying a visit to all these religious places in aspiration of eliminating all sins and to attain salvation by the blessings of the Lord. The Char Dham must be visited from left to right – beginning with Yamunotri, going on to Gangotri, then Kedarnath and culminating the journey at Badrinath. This route follows the Hindu tradition of parikrama. Every year more than 250,000 pilgrims visit Char Dham from various parts of India. Char Dham – the four pilgrimages are open from May till October every year. All four sites can be covered in one stretch in 10-­11 days. Nowadays, one can also get helicopter services to visit Char Dham sites in just 2 days.

Yamunotri is one of the four sites of Char Dham pilgrimage situated in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Yamunotri is the source of River Yamuna and is regarded as the seat of Goddess Yamuna. This is the western most shrine in the Garhwal Himalayas, situated at an altitude of 3293 m atop Bandar punch parvat.

The chief attraction at Yamunotri is the temple devoted to the Goddess Yamuna. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The temple was first built by Maharani Gularia of Jaipur in the early 19th century. The temple was damaged in the earth quakes of 1923 and 1982. But it was subsequently rebuilt by Maharaja Pratap Shah of Tehri Garhwal, who was the ruler of this region. Yamunotri Temple can be reached by 5 km trek from Janki Chatti which is the nearest road point. Janki Chatti , Kharsali , Saptarishi Kund , Barkot and Hanuman Chatti are the other attractions in Yamunotri. Yamunotri also has famous trekking routes, such as Hanuman Chatti – Yamunotri route, Dodi Tal and Janki Chatti.

The temple opens every year on the auspicious day of the Akshaya Tritiya, which generally falls during the last week of April, or early May. The temple closes on the sacred day of Diwali in October / November. Kharsali is the winter home to the idol of goddess Yamuna. The best time to visit Yamunotri is from May to June and September to October.

Distance from Rishikesh : 209 km

Gangotri, the origin of the River Ganges, is one of the four sites in the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit in Uttarakhand along with Badrinath, Kedarnath and Yamunotri. It is situated at an altitude of 3100 m in the Garhwal Himalayan Range on the banks of the holy Bhagirathi River. River Ganges originates at Gaumukh in Gangotri Glacier, which is located about 19 km away from Gangotri town. As per legends, Goddess Ganges took the form of a river in order to absolve the sins of King Bhagiratha’s ancestors, after his severe penance. Lord Shiva received River Ganges in his thick hair locks, to reduce the impact of her fierce flow.

Gangotri is famous for its ancient temples and religious significance. The present Ganga Temple at Gangotri was built by a Gorkha General Amar Singh Thapa in the early 18th century. Near the temple is located a sacred stone where King Bhagiratha is said to have worshipped Lord Shiva. Surya Kund , Pandava Gufa , Bhaironghati and Gaumukh are the other religious attractions in Gangotri. Gangotri town is the starting point of the Gaumukh , Tapovan , Nandanvan , Vasuki Tal and Gangotri-Kedartal trekking.

Gangotri temple is opened from May and gets closed on the occasion of Diwali festival in Oct / Nov. Gangotri temple remains closed during winters as the region is prone to heavy snowfall. The idol is shifted to Mukhyamath Temple in Mukhba village, 20 km downstream.

Distance from Rishikesh : 264 km

Kedarnath is a popular destination for Hindu pilgrims and is one of the four major sites in Uttarakhand known as Chota Char Dham pilgrimage. It lies at an altitude of 3584 m near Chorabari Glacier, the head of river Mandakini. It is the most remote of the four Char Dham sites and is flanked by breathtaking snow-clad peaks. The famous Kedarnath temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is thronged by thousands of tourists each year. Other than Kedarnath temple, Bhairavnath temple , Chorabari Tal , Shankaracharya Samadhi , Vasuki Tal , Deoria Tal and Ukhimath are the some other religious places near Kedarnath.

Kedarnath can be reached by 14 km steep climb from Gaurikund to the temple of Kedarnath and can be done on foot or on ponies. Ponies or horses are available on rent from Gaurikund. After the flash floods of 2013 which greatly affected the Kedarnath region, the route has been modified. The 14 km trek is now of 21 km which starts from Sonprayag. A general health check-up is done to ensure the safety of the tourists before allowing them to go further after registration. From here a trek of 7 km takes place up to Bhim Bali, while the next halt is at Linchauli at another 7 km. The last halt is the Kedarnath temple after a trek of another 7 km. The original route from Gaurikund runs through Rambara (7 km) – Linchauli (4 km) – Kedarnath (3 km).

The extreme weather condition of Kedarnath prompts the temple to be open only for 6 months from the end of April to the beginning of November. The town receives heavy snowfall during the winter months which makes it uninhabitable. The residents of Kedarnath shift to villages lying at lower altitudes during the winter months while Lord Kedarnath’s Palki is transferred to Ukhimath.

Distance from Rishikesh : 224 km

Badrinath is the most important of the four sites of famous Char Dham pilgrimage; the other three being Puri , Dwarka and Rameswaram. It is also visited as part of Chota Char Dham Pilgrimage along with Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri in Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. According to the epic Mahabharata, Badrinath is the site where Nara and Narayana, the dual forms of Vishnu, did meditation. It is also believed that the Pandavas passed through Badrinath on their way to heaven. Legend has it that Sage Vyasa authored Mahabharata at a cave in Mana, which is about 4 km from Badrinath.

Badrinath is famous for its Badrinath Temple that houses Lord Badrinarayan, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The present temple is believed to have been established by saint-philosopher Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. Adi Shankara discovered a Saligram idol of Lord Badrinarayan in the river bed of Alaknanda. He installed this idol in a cave nearby Tapt Kund. It was later shifted to the present temple by the King of Garhwal in the 16th century. Badrinath is also famous for Panch Badri temples, which are Yog Dhyan Badri, Bhavishtya Badri, Adi Badri and Vriddha Badri, along with Badrinath temple. Some of the other attraction of Badrinath includes Tapt Kund , Brahma Kapal , Sheshanetra , Vasudhara Falls , Charan Paduka , Satopanth Lake , Neelkanth and Mana Village . Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, Nandaprayag , Vishnuprayag and Pandukeswar are among the other pilgrimage sites on the route to Badarinath.

The best time to visit Badrinath is from May to June and again from September to October. The monsoon months must be avoided as the region is prone to landslides. Tourists are advised not to visit during winters as the region receives heavy snowfall and harsh cold conditions. The Badrinath temple is closed from November to April.

Char Dham, which translates to "four abodes," holds significant spiritual prominence in India. Located in the majestic state of Uttarakhand, this pilgrimage circuit encompasses four sacred sites: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Each of these destinations is deeply intertwined with Hindu mythology and offers solace to millions of devotees who embark on the journey every year.

It's essential to differentiate between the Char Dham of Uttarakhand, often referred to as 'Chota Char Dham', and the larger, all-India Char Dham pilgrimage. The all-India Char Dham includes Badrinath in the North, Puri in the East, Rameswaram in the South, and Dwarka in the West. While both circuits are of great religious significance, the Chota Char Dham primarily focuses on sites within Uttarakhand and is the most popular among pilgrims. Yamunotri , the first stop in the circuit, is dedicated to the goddess Yamuna. It marks the origin of the sacred Yamuna River. Devotees pay homage at the temple and also take a dip in the thermal springs nearby, believed to purify the soul. Following Yamunotri is Gangotri , a shrine dedicated to the goddess Ganga. This site marks the origin of the holy Ganges River, and like Yamunotri, it holds great significance in the purification rites of the Hindu religion. Kedarnath , the third destination, is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. It is accessible through a trek, making the journey both spiritual and adventurous. The last of the quartet, Badrinath , is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. With the Neelkanth peak forming a captivating backdrop, the temple's vibrant architecture and its legendary tales of Lord Vishnu's penance make it a fitting conclusion to the Char Dham Yatra. The pilgrimage is not just a test of devotion but also of endurance, as the terrains can be challenging. However, with the recent developments and facilities, the journey has become more accessible to a wider range of devotees. During the winter season, from late November to April, the temples remain shut because of significant snowfall. They typically reopen in May, based on the prevailing weather conditions. Hence, the ideal time to embark on the Char Dham Yatra is between May to October, avoiding the monsoon and extreme winter months.

In that case, a route map from Delhi will follow the course of Delhi-Haridwar-Barkot-Yamunotri-Uttarkashi-Gangotri-Guptakashi-Kedarnath-Badrinath-Rishikesh-Delhi .

The total distance covered will be 1,607 km.  Please remember that driving in the hills is not allowed between 8:00 PM and 04:00 AM. So, you need to plan and look for stay options accordingly. The entire route is well-equipped, with plenty of comfortable lodging options for every budget. A suggested detailed route map will look like the one below.

Delhi -Yamunotri- Gangotri -Kedarnath-Badrinath-Delhi Route Map

Chardham by helicopter.

Undertaking the Char Dham yatra via helicopter offers a swift and convenient way to complete the pilgrimage, especially for those pressed for time. Perfect for devotees eager to witness the sacred sites and the breathtaking Himalayan beauty efficiently, the helicopter ride, despite being pricier than conventional methods, provides value in terms of time and energy conservation.

Char Dham Yatra Average Trip Duration (with a helicopter) : 2 Days/ 1 Night, 5 Days/ 5 Nights Starting Point: Sahastradhara helipad in Dehradun Starting Time: Helicopters start at 7:00 AM (It is recommended to reach the helipad an hour before your scheduled time) Char Dham Tour Packages By Helicopters Starting Price: INR 1.3 Lakh to 1.6 Lakh Per Person (for both 2 days and 6-day packages)

Chardham Yatra (Badrinath-Puri-Rameshwaram-Dwarka)

Getting around chardham (palki and pony with price).

The revered Char Dham shrines in Uttarakhand are nestled at high altitudes: Yamunotri (3,291m), Gangotri (3,415m), Kedarnath (3,553m), and Badrinath (3,300m), forming the Chhota Char Dham route. These altitudes provide majestic views of mountains and cascading waterfalls. While trekking suits the fit, it's challenging for children, elderly, or those with health issues. Hence, Palki and Pony services are popular for ease of travel in this rugged terrain. Gangotri and Badrinath are reachable by road and therefore driving up to these pilgrim spots is not a difficult feat. Reaching up to Kedarnath and Yamunotri becomes tougher because of non-accessibility by road. A Palki ride will take place in a palanquin with four people carrying the passenger. Ponies also carry one passenger each. The charges can also depend on negotiation and the physical condition of the pilgrim, especially for palanquins. Charges for both Palkis and Ponies depend upon the distance, nature of the trip (one way/round), uphill/downhill journey, same/next day return, and weight of the passenger. Always ensure to discuss the full route, waiting times, and return trip with the service provider to avoid any confusion or disputes. The Government fixes charges every year. Here are the tentative prices.

Gaurikund-Kedarnath/Kedarnath-Gaurikund Charges

For Yamunotri, the trek starts from Hanuman Chatti or Janki Chatti. For those unable to trek, Dandi, Kandi, and Pony services are easily available. Porter services are also available for carrying the luggage of, the charges for which will come around to INR 950 for weight up to 40 kg, including an overnight halt.

For overnight stays, night halt is charged at an extra rate and the price ranges from INR 230 to 920 depending on the type of ride.

Kedarnath by Helicopter

Kedarnath, one of the renowned sites within the Char Dham circuit, sits majestically at an altitude of 3,553 meters amidst the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. While the traditional approach to this sacred temple involves rigorous trekking, there's an alternative for those seeking convenience or those who may not be physically able to undertake the trek: a helicopter ride.

There is no road access available to the temple and it can only be reached through a tough, uphill 18 km long trek which starts from Gaurikund. Helicopter services to Kedarnath typically commence from various locations, including Dehradun, Phata, Sersi, and Guptkashi. The aerial journey to Kedarnath not only provides a swift and hassle-free travel option but also offers pilgrims the unique experience of beholding panoramic views of the dramatic mountainous landscapes, verdant valleys, and winding rivers below.  For safety reasons, there's a strict luggage limit, often set around 2-5 kgs per person.

How to Plan Your Chardham Yatra Package

Embarking on a spiritual journey is a deeply enriching experience, and one such pilgrimage that holds great significance for Hindus is the Chardham Yatra. Located in the picturesque state of Uttarakhand in India, Chardham refers to the four sacred sites of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. These revered destinations draw millions of devotees every year who seek spiritual solace and blessings. Planning a Chardham Yatra requires careful consideration and organization to ensure a smooth and fulfilling journey. In this article, we will guide you through the process of planning your Chardham Yatra , covering various aspects such as understanding Chardham, preparing for the journey, planning the itinerary, packing essentials, safety and health considerations, cultural and spiritual etiquette, budgeting and financial planning, and making the most of the experience.

Understanding Chardham

Chardham holds immense religious significance for Hindus as it is believed that visiting these four sacred sites can cleanse one’s soul and pave the way for spiritual liberation. Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna River, and it is believed that a dip in its holy waters can wash away sins. Gangotri is the origin of the Ganges River and is associated with Goddess Ganga. Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is home to one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, while Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is considered one of the holiest shrines in Hinduism. Understanding the significance and mythology associated with each of these sites will enhance your spiritual experience during the Yatra.

Before embarking on the Chardham Yatra, it is essential to make the necessary preparations. Start by researching the best time to visit, as the climate in Uttarakhand can vary significantly throughout the year. The Yatra usually begins in April or May and continues until October or November, with the peak season being from May to June and September to October. Consider the weather conditions, crowd levels, and availability of accommodation during these months to plan your trip accordingly.

Planning the Itinerary

Planning a well-structured itinerary is crucial for a successful Chardham Yatra. Begin by determining the duration of your journey and the order in which you wish to visit the four sites. The traditional sequence is Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. However, you can customize your itinerary based on your preferences and convenience. Allocate sufficient time at each destination to explore the temples, participate in religious rituals, and soak in the spiritual ambiance. Consult travel guides, seek advice from experienced travellers, and consider hiring a local tour operator to assist you in creating a comprehensive itinerary.

Packing Essentials

Packing the right essentials is essential for a comfortable and hassle-free pilgrimage. Start with lightweight and comfortable clothing suitable for the prevailing weather conditions. Carry sturdy walking shoes or sandals as you may need to trek or walk long distances. Don’t forget to pack personal hygiene items, medications, and a first aid kit. It is advisable to carry a small backpack to keep essential items such as water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, and a hat during your temple visits. Additionally, carry a copy of your identification documents, travel insurance, and emergency contact numbers.

Safety and Health Considerations

When undertaking a pilgrimage, safety should be a top priority. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:

• Stay hydrated: Carry an adequate amount of water and drink regularly to prevent dehydration, especially during long treks.
• Acclimatize properly: The high altitudes in Uttarakhand can cause altitude sickness. Take necessary precautions, such as resting, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding strenuous activities.
• Travel in groups: Whenever possible, travel in groups or with a trusted travel operator for safety and security.
• Follow local guidelines: Respect the rules and guidelines set by the local authorities, especially during natural calamities or adverse weather conditions.

Cultural and Spiritual Etiquette

Visiting Chardham is not only a religious journey but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich culture and traditions of the region. Show respect for the local customs and traditions by dressing modestly, refraining from public displays of affection, and seeking permission before photographing people or religious sites. Participate in the religious rituals with sincerity and humility, and be mindful of the serenity and sanctity of the temples. It is customary to carry a small offering of flowers, fruits, or sweets as a token of devotion when visiting the temples.

Budgeting and Financial Planning

Proper budgeting and financial planning are crucial for a successful Chardham Yatra. Consider expenses such as transportation, accommodation, meals, entrance fees, and donations at the temples. Research and compare prices of hotels or guesthouses to find options that suit your budget. It is advisable to carry sufficient cash as ATMs may not be readily available in remote areas. Making the Most of the Experience

To make the most of your Chardham Yatra, keep the following tips in mind:

• Seek spiritual guidance: Engage with priests, sadhus (holy men), and local guides to gain a deeper understanding of the religious significance and rituals associated with each site. Their insights can enhance your spiritual experience.
• Immerse in the natural beauty: Uttarakhand is known for its breathtaking landscapes. Take the time to appreciate the scenic beauty surrounding the temples. Capture the moments in your memory and through photographs.
• Practice self-reflection: Use this pilgrimage as an opportunity for self-reflection and introspection. Take moments of silence, meditate, and connect with your inner self. The tranquil environment of Chardham provides an ideal setting for spiritual contemplation.
• Embrace the local culture: Interact with the locals, taste the local cuisine, and learn about the unique traditions and customs of the region. This will enrich your overall experience and create lasting memories.

The Chardham Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage that offers a profound spiritual experience for devotees. By understanding the significance of each site, planning your journey meticulously, packing the essentials, prioritizing safety and health, respecting cultural and spiritual etiquette, budgeting wisely, and making the most of the experience, you can ensure a fulfilling and memorable Chardham Yatra. Remember, this journey is not just about visiting temples, but also about connecting with your inner self and seeking spiritual solace amidst the awe-inspiring beauty of Uttarakhand. May your Chardham Yatra be a transformative and enlightening journey?
