Char Dham Yatra Guide

Char Dham Yatra is a spiritual journey that takes you to four of the most revered pilgrimage sites. All these four holy sites are located in Uttarakhand and are renowned for their blissful ambiance and sacred vibes. The Char Dham Yatra should be completed in a clockwise direction. The four Char Dham sites are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. All these four sacred sites were integrated by the Hindu scholar Adi Shankaracharya into one spiritual circuit which the pilgrims now follow as a tradition. Because of climatic and geographic variations each of the Char Dham sites has a different closing and opening date.

Yamunotri Dham is known to be the first Dham named after the goddess Yamuna. By taking a holy bath at Yamunotri you can relieve yourself of all the sins. At Gangotri Dham, the River Ganga is believed to have descended from heaven directly. Kedarnath Dham is considered to be one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. Badrinath Dham is known to be the holy abode of Shri Vishnu. It is located on the banks of the Alaknanda River and is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year.

Best Time to Visit

April to June is considered to be the best time for Char Dham Yatra. The opening time of all the Char Dham temples is around Akshay Tritiya or after that date. September to early November is also considered to be a good time to visit Char Dham sites as the monsoon subsides and the weather becomes very pleasant. You should avoid visiting Char Dham sites during the monsoon season (July to August) due to potential road blockages and frequent landslides. You should also keep in mind that during the harsh winter months, the temples remain closed due to heavy snowfall and depending on weather conditions usually reopen in May.

History of Char Dham Temples

Naresh Sudarshan Shah, king of Tehri built the shrine of Yamunotri in 1839. Besides the idol of Yamuna Devi (goddess), Ganga Devi’s idol is also housed in the temple. Among the most important hot water springs close to the temple is the Surya Kund. Devotees boil potatoes and rice in the Kund and accept it as devi’s prasad.

Amar Singh Thapa who was a brave Gurkha general built the Gangotri temple in the early nineteenth century. It is believed that Bhagirath’s meditation brought Ganga to earth. Lord Shiva tied Ganga to save the earth from the water’s mighty force and distributed it in several streams.

It is believed that the Kedarnath temple was originally built by Pandavas. The present structure was built by Adi Shankaracharya adjacent to the old temple site in the 8th century. The grey stone structure is considered an architectural splendor because of its ability to survive for years in such harsh terrain and its imposing design.

The idol of Lord Badri was founded by Adi Shankaracharya in Alaknanda River. He later put it up near the Tapt Kund in a cave. In the sixteenth century, the temple was erected by a Garhwal King. Because of natural calamities, the temple has been renovated many times. It is perched between the peaks of Nar and Narayan and its beauty is enhanced with the Neelkanth peak’s background.
