Significance of Chardham Yatra

The Chardham yatra is considered to be the most sacred and pious yatra in Uttarakhand. There is a strong belief that one who visits Chardham achieves moksha and also washes away all sins and thus one should consider visiting Chardham at least once in their lifetime.

• Yamunotri

The revered Yamunotri temple seats Goddess Yamuna. One needs to commence a 5km trek to reach it. The trek starts from Jankichatti. This temple is situated on the bank of the holy river Yamuna. There is a strong belief that one who takes a dip in the Yamuna River at Yamunotri Dham will attain salvation and will thus get freed from being taken to Yamlok.

• Gangotri

Beautifully situated in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, this pious Gangotri dham is devoted to Goddess Ganga. Gangotri temple is built close to Bhagirath Shila which is that very pillar where King Bhagirath prayed to Lord Shiva to bear the descent of the river Ganga. The devotees visit the Dham, collect the water from the pillar, and take it to their homes as Amrit and use it for various religious purposes.

• Kedarnath

Nestled at an altitude of 3586m, Kedarnath Dham witnesses lakhs of devotees every year. Kedarnath Dham is one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Apart from Kedarnath, you can add other places too-   Shankaracharya Samadhi. Witness the fascinating views of the massive peaks and surreal surrounding areas that add beauty to the Kedarnath Dham.

• Badrinath 

The pious Badrinath temple is nestled on the bank of the holy Alaknanda river. The temple is devoted to lord Vishnu. Apart from visiting Badrinath Dham, visit some of the major places too like Panch Dhara, Ganesha cave, Vyas cave, Tapt Kund, which is believed to have medicinal properties, and Mana village. Witness the hot water spring inside the temple. There is a strong belief that taking a dip inside it cures diseases.
