It is believed that the Himalayan Kingdom is divided into five parts, among which Uttarakhand is one. There are numerous pilgrim spots in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and that makes it one of the go-to places for pilgrimage for Hindus from India and others from across the world. Additionally, the Gangotri glacier also emanates from the district Uttarkashi. The holy and mighty river Ganga was born from the womb of the same glacier.

Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri are the four ‘dhams’, revered by Hindus. Hindus consider the opportunity to visit any of these sites or all of them, a call from the divine. It is a chance of a lifetime to be able to make it to the holy sites or ‘dhams’ and they hold tremendous significance in Hinduism. Guru Adi Shankaracharya introduced the yatras sometime back in the 8th century in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand.

The holy sites open for darshan after April annually. In the winter months, the ‘Dham’ is covered in snow and that makes the journey quite risky. After the spring season starts, these holy sites open for the devotees. So, if you are looking for the Char Dham Yatra, do connect with the best travel and tourism enterprise for a hassle-free experience. It will surely be a dream of a lifetime fulfilled for Hindus.
