Overview
Uttarakhand, fondly known as Devbhoomi or the Land of Gods, is home to countless temples and sacred circuits that welcome devotees year‑round. Among these, the most revered pilgrimage is the Char Dham Yatra — a spiritual journey to four holy shrines nestled high in the Himalayas: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
In Hindi, char means “four” and dham refers to “abodes of God.” Together, they represent the four divine destinations that every devotee aspires to visit at least once in their lifetim
