Chardham Yatra
The Char Dham of Uttarakhand — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath — are four sacred temples nestled in the Himalayas. Each shrine holds deep spiritual significance, symbolizing purity, devotion, and salvation. Moreover, the yatra traditionally begins from Yamunotri and then moves toward Gangotri, followed by Kedarnath, and finally concludes at Badrinath, covering divine rivers and majestic mountain peaks along the way. With the Best Chardham Tour Packages by Trip Kara De Hospitality, travelers can experience this holy journey with greater comfort and planning. Ultimately, it is believed that visiting all four dhams washes away sins and leads to moksha (liberation).
