The 14 Days/13 Nights Chardham Yatra Package from Ahmedabad covers the spiritual essence of four of the holiest shrines in India — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. This is not just an ordinary trip. Each of these four dhams holds a distinct place in Hindu faith: Yamunotri is the seat of Goddess Yamuna and the origin of the Yamuna River; Gangotri is set about 19 km from Gaumukh where the Ganga originates; Badrinath is the sanctuary of Lord Vishnu, worshipped here as Badrinarayan; and Kedarnath, situated near the headwaters of the Mandakini River, is one of the most revered Shiva temples in the country. The Kedarnath Temple was built by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century — a conical rock formation symbolising Lord Shiva is worshipped inside.
When you complete all four dhams, there is a peace that is hard to describe. Our package takes care of accommodation, meals, transfers, and activities — so you can focus entirely on the yatra. Packages can also be customised to suit your group size and budget.
