An Easy Guide to the Char Dham Yatra

Chardham yatra 2026 opening dates

The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is one of India’s most sacred pilgrimages. Every year, lakhs of devotees travel to the four holy shrines—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath—to seek divine blessings and spiritual renewal. Nestled high in the Garhwal Himalayas, these dhams mark the origin points of the holy rivers Yamuna and Ganga and are closely associated with Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu.

With MND Travels, a reputed Uttarakhand Tourism–approved company, you can experience this timeless journey comfortably and safely—whether you want a traditional road tour or a premium Char Dham Yatra by helicopter.


Why the Char Dham Yatra Matters

  • Yamunotri Dham – The source of River Yamuna and the temple of Goddess Yamuna.

  • Gangotri Dham – The origin of River Ganga and shrine of Goddess Ganga.

  • Kedarnath Dham – One of the twelve Jyotirlingas, dedicated to Lord Shiva.

  • Badrinath Dham – One of the 108 Divya Desams, devoted to Lord Vishnu.

Undertaking this journey is believed to cleanse sins and lead devotees toward moksha (liberation). The traditional route begins at Yamunotri, then Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath.


Best Time to Visit the Char Dham

The temples open around late April or early May (Akshaya Tritiya) and close near October–November (Diwali). The ideal seasons are May–June (pleasant weather) and September–October (post-monsoon clarity). Monsoon months bring heavy rainfall and landslides, so pilgrims are advised to travel outside July–August for safety.
