Unfold the Magic of the Four Dhams:
1. Yamunotri: 3,293 meters, Within the Garhwal Himalayas lies the source of the holy Yamuna River, its name Yamunotri. Come and see the enchanting Jarneshwar Temple and glittering thermal springs. Take a healthy lungful of mountain-fresh air and fall blissfully silent.
2. Gangotri: 3,048 meters, Lies beside the source of Bhagirathi. This is also the origin of the holy Ganges. Take a dip in the holy ‘kund’ and get engraved with captivating views of the majestic peaks of the Gangotri group.
3. Kedarnath: Located at an altitude of 3,584 meters, it is the highest Dham among the four Dhams of Uttarakhand. Kedarnath is considered to be one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. It offers a beautiful sight when the Kedarnath Temple is surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The raw beauty of the Himalayas comes alive during this journey.
4. Badrinath: The temple is situated at an altitude of 3,133 meters and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu; it’s one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. The Badrinath Temple reflects the architectural beauty of Vishnu, and the spiritual town offers a purifying spiritual experience to every pilgrim.
Where to start the yatra?
The traditional approach to the Char Dham pilgrimage starts from Yamunotri, then proceeds to Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally reaches Badrinath. But because of climatic conditions, their opening and closing dates differ, especially for the higher Dhams like Kedarnath and Badrinath. Sometimes, the best way to start the pilgrimage is based on the season or even because of its accessibility:
• In peak season, starting in May-June, visit Yamunotri and Gangotri first, followed by Kedarnath and Badrinath.
• For a somewhat extended season, from April-end/May-beginning, visit Yamunotri and Gangotri first; when the roads open up, continue to Badrinath and Kedarnath.
Important Tips for a Hassle-Free Char Dham Yatra:
• Always plan and book in advance: Accommodation, transport, and other requirements like permits should be availed of much before your travel dates.
• Acclimatize to the high altitude: Do it gradually to prevent mountain sickness. If you suffer from some serious ailment, then consult your doctor.
• Pack right: Take along warm clothes, rainwear, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a hat.
• Follow a simple way of life: Be prepared for limited facilities and enriching spiritual experiences.
• Show respect to the locals: Dress modestly, no loud talking near the temples, and follow local rituals.
