Uttarakhand, a state in India also called Devbhoomi or Land of Gods, has many temples and welcomes religious travellers all year. One of the most popular pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand is the Char Dham Yatra, which includes four holy sites – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. These shrines are located high up in the Himalayas and are closed for about six months each year, opening in summer (April or May) and closing in winter (October or November).
The Char Dham Yatra is a clockwise pilgrimage starting from Yamunotri, then moving to Gangotri, Kedarnath, and ending at Badrinath. It’s recommended to complete the Yatra in this order. Devotees can travel by road or air, and helicopter services are available. The journey can be physically challenging, as the shrines are located in remote areas at high altitudes. It is advisable to take necessary precautions and seek medical advice before embarking on the journey.
The Char Dham Yatra attracts a large number of devotees every year, especially during the peak season (May to June and September to October). It is advisable to plan and book in advance to avoid last-minute hassles
