Chardham Yatra Uttarakhand, also known as the Char Dham, is a four-part pilgrimage tour of Hindu religious sites in India. The Chardham Yatra Uttarakhand takes you to the four holiest destinations of the Hindus: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri It is believed that performing this tour purifies one's mind and soul from all earthly bonds and instills a sense of freedom. En route to these destinations, pilgrims also visit many other holy places which include Rishikesh, Haridwar, and many more.
The Chardham Yatra Uttarakhand can be made by foot or horseback, but most pilgrims opt for a tour company to provide transportation and basic accommodation with tents.
The Chardham Yatra starts from the Yamunotri Temple in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand and goes to the other three temples which are located at higher altitudes. And finally, it reaches Badrinath Temple which is the youngest among all four Char Dhams. The total distance covered by this yatra is around 2500 kilometers.
