Char Dham Yatra

What is Char Dham Yatra?
The Char Dham Yatra is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage circuit in the Indian Himalayas of Uttarakhand. It consists of four holy sites: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Completing this high-altitude journey is believed to cleanse devotees of past sins and pave the way to Moksha (ultimate salvation).
Why is Char Dham the Ultimate Pilgrimage?
Located high in the majestic altitudes of the Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand, the Char Dham Yatra is considered the pinnacle of spiritual journeys in Hinduism. Initiated by the great philosopher and saint Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, this circuit is believed to cleanse the soul of all worldly sins and open the gates to Moksha (Salvation).
The sacred journey always proceeds in a clockwise direction—from West to East. It begins at Yamunotri (the source of the Yamuna River), proceeds to Gangotri (the source of the Ganges), climbs up to the perilous heights of Kedarnath (the abode of Lord Shiva), and culminates at Badrinath (the seat of Lord Vishnu).
