Char Dham Yatra Packages: A Devout Waltz to Heaven

India is an abode of millions of deities with approximately 330 million in Hinduism itself. So far, their emergence and existence haven’t been unambiguous, but their prominence has remained specific to different communities residing in India. Evidently, with a plethora of deities to pay homage to, there has been built numerous shrines and temples across the lengths and breadths of this country. Among them, Char Dham or the four prominent shrines are construed the most significant. These shrines account for Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, nestled in the Indian Himalayas. However, scattered across the Himalayas in alignment, these shrines aren’t easily accessed by many pioneers, who thus, seek after a well-planned pilgrimage itinerary. And that’s when Char Dham Yatra tour Packages come into the light.

As per Hindu mythology, a pilgrimage to these four shrines in the vicinity of Uttarakhand is hailed by enormous pilgrims from all around the country and world for they believe it will liberate their souls from the shackles of life and help them attain salvation after their death. So, let’s acknowledge what is it that is profoundly embraced and adorned by the travelers in these religious towns of Garhwal. 

Yamunotri

Perched at the edge of river Yamuna, Yamunotri is the source of this river and can be accessed only by a prolonged trekking journey. Pilgrims begin their wayfaring from Janki Chatti and climb 6Km of lofty and wobbly trajectory via pony or Doli ride or on foot. They meander amidst the enchanting meadows of lush green valleys and reach the shrine to witness the bounties of architectural and nature’s beauty in all its forms.

Gangotri

The rapidly flowing river Ganga and the holiest river of Hindus originate at Gomukh, where it is named as Bhagirathi. It gushes down to Gangotri and meets Alaknanda to receive its name, Ganga. The picturesque view of river Ganga gushing down the beautifully aligned Himalayan range is nothing less than bliss to travelers’ eyes. Once pilgrims are fed by nature, they get to adore the architectural and pious essence at the shrine of Gangotri by visiting in the temple and offering their prayers.

Kedarnath

Being an abode of Lord Shiva, this town is located at an elevation of 3,583m above sea level in the Rudraprayag district. It’s a 16Km trek uphill that involves a passage through lush green meadows, foaming river Mandakini, and snow-peaked mountains. During 2013 floods, when everything surrounding the temple was devastated heavily only this temple stood still, which further strengthened the faith of pilgrims.

Badrinath

Home of Lord Vishnu, Badrinath is believed to have gained its reverence when Pandavas passed by this town on their way to heaven. This town and even the main shrine are accessible by road for it is the most developed among all four Dhams. The Alaknanda river that merges with Bhagirathi in Gangotri to give birth to river Ganga also originates here. Another most insightful place to visit in this town is the Mana Cave where Vyasa wrote Mahabharata.
