Char Dham Yatra: A Spiritual Journey in the Himalayas

The Char Dham Yatra is a pilgrimage in India that includes four holy shrines situated in the Himalayas of India.

India is a country where you can see millions of pilgrimages and shrine places that attract their devotees. The Char Dham yatra is one of the most popular and long journeys starting in summer and ending in October. In the meantime, there are many Char Dham Yatra packages you can see from the traveler's company to help you in this journey. 

The Char Dham Yatra is a pilgrimage in India that includes four holy shrines situated in the Himalayas of India. "Char" translates to "four" and "Dham" means sacred abodes. This spiritual journey can make you feel divine energies. This yatra starts from Yamunotri which is the source of the holy Yamuna River then followed by Gangotri which is the origin of the Ganges in the Himalayas.

Then you will move forward to Kedarnath which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The trekking of the Kedarnath temple is interesting and breathtaking. The final destination where your journey ends is Badrinath, it is the temple of Lord Vishnu. Traditionally, this yatra is undertaken in a clockwise direction offering a chance to visit these divine sites and experience the beauty of the Himalayas.

These high-altitude shrines remain closed during harsh winters and are typically open for darshan (holy visit) in the summer months (April/May) and close by November.  The Char Dham Yatra is a test of physical and mental courage, which is why Southern Travels offers the Char Dham Yatra by helicopter for those who are not able to trek. And you will easily complete this shrine journey with your family and friends.
