  • Char Dham Yatra Explained – Best Time, Route, Costs, and Tips

The Char Dham Yatra is not just a pilgrimage — it’s a soul-stirring journey through the majestic Himalayas to the four most sacred temples in Uttarakhand: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. This divine journey is believed to cleanse one’s sins and open the gates to moksha (salvation).

At Tripsark, we offer carefully planned and comfortable Char Dham Yatra packages so you can focus on your spiritual experience while we handle the rest.


🛕 What is Char Dham Yatra?

The word “Char Dham” means “four abodes of the divine.” Located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, these four sacred sites represent different manifestations of Hindu belief and devotion.

The Four Dhams:

  1. Yamunotri – The origin of River Yamuna and the home of Goddess Yamuna
  2. Gangotri – The birthplace of the holy River Ganga, the lifeline of India
  3. Kedarnath – One of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva
  4. Badrinath – Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, located between Nar and Narayan mountain ranges

📍 Route & Duration

The Char Dham Yatra typically follows this route:
Haridwar / Dehradun → Yamunotri → Gangotri → Kedarnath → Badrinath

✅ Ideal Duration: 10 to 12 days
✅ Best Time to Visit: April to June and September to October
