Book Your Divine Pilgrimage with BookMyDham
The Char Dham Yatra is one of the most revered spiritual journeys in Hinduism, encompassing four sacred shrines located in the majestic Himalayan region of Uttarakhand – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. It is believed that every devout Hindu must undertake this holy yatra at least once in their lifetime to attain moksha (liberation).
🌿 The Four Holy Dhams
🕉️ Yamunotri – Source of Goddess Yamuna
Begin your yatra at Yamunotri, the origin of the sacred Yamuna River. Pilgrims trek through stunning landscapes to offer prayers at the temple dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, believed to cleanse sins and grant longevity.
🕉️ Gangotri – The Birthplace of River Ganga
The second dham is Gangotri, where Goddess Ganga descended from heaven. The temple stands as a symbol of purity and divine power, drawing countless devotees seeking spiritual purification.
🕉️ Kedarnath – Abode of Lord Shiva
Located near the Mandakini River, Kedarnath Temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Surrounded by snow-clad peaks, it is one of the most powerful sites for worship and self-realization.
🕉️ Badrinath – Shrine of Lord Vishnu
The final dham is Badrinath, dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his meditative form. Nestled along the banks of the Alaknanda River, the temple completes the sacred circle of the Char Dham.

Notably, Uttarakhand—also known as Devbhoomi or the Land of Gods—is home to numerous temples and welcomes devotees all year round. Among the countless religious sites and circuits that devotees visit in Uttarakhand, one of the most prominent is the Char Dham Yatra. This Yatra or pilgrimage is a tour of four holy sites – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath – nestled high up in the Himalayas. In Hindi, ‘char’ means four and ‘dham’ refers to religious destinations.
The high-altitude shrines remain shut for around six months every year, opening in summers (April or May) and closing with the onset of winter (October or November). It is believed that one should complete the Char Dham Yatra in a clockwise direction. Consequently, the journey follows a path from Yamunotri to Gangotri, onward to Kedarnath, and ultimately to Badrinath. The journey can be completed by road or by air (helicopter services are available). Some devotees even do a Do Dham Yatra or a pilgrimage to two shrines – Kedarnath and Badrinath.
The Yamunotri temple, lodged in a narrow gorge close to the source of River Yamuna (the second-most sacred Indian river after River Ganga) in Uttarkashi district, is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. Additionally, the district of Uttarkashi is home to Gangotri, which is dedicated to Goddess Ganga, the most sacred of all Indian rivers. Located in the Rudraprayag district lies Kedarnath, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Badrinath, home to the sacred Badrinarayan Temple, is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Char Dham Yatra is as divine as it is arduous but fulfills the soul!
