Description
The Char Dham Yatra is believed to wash away sins and help devotees attain salvation. The journey traditionally follows this order:
Yamunotri → Gangotri → Kedarnath → Badrinath.
The pilgrimage season usually starts in April/May and continues until October/November, depending on weather conditions, as the temples remain closed during heavy winter snowfall.
The divine journey to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath is not just a pilgrimage — it is a spiritual awakening through the Himalayas. Each dham represents a step toward inner transformation.
Yamunotri – The beginning of purity. As the origin of Maa Yamuna, this sacred shrine teaches humility and devotion. The journey here reminds you that every spiritual path begins with clean intentions.
Gangotri – The power of renewal. Where Maa Ganga descended to Earth, devotees seek emotional and spiritual cleansing. The flowing river symbolizes release from past burdens.
Kedarnath Temple – The strength of surrender. One of Lord Shiva’s sacred Jyotirlingas, Kedarnath teaches that true power comes when ego dissolves and faith takes over.
Badrinath Temple – The blessing of peace. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, this final dham offers balance, grace and spiritual completion.
Chardham is not a journey you take — it is a calling you answer.

According to legend, the Pandavas after having won over the Kaurava in the Kurukshetra war, felt guilty of having killed their own brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhmaheshwar and his locks (hair) with head at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four above-mentioned shrines are treated as Panch Kedar. Kedarnath Weather – Due to its high altitude the weather in Kedarnath remains cold for most part of the year.
