Char Dham Yatra: The Sacred Sojourn to Serenity

Itinerary

The Char Dham, or “four sacred dwellings,” stands as a guiding light of holiness in the valleys of Uttarakhand.

The pilgrimage, a journey of the soul, commences at the peaceful Yamunotri and culminates at the divine Badrinath. It is a voyage believed to cleanse the spirit and pave the way to moksha, the ultimate liberation.
