About Chardham

Nestling in the lofty peaks are the four most holy pilgrimages of India -– Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. collectively referred to as the Char Dham of Hinduism. For centuries, saints and pilgrims, in their search for the divine, have walked these mystical vales known in ancient Hindu scriptures as 'Kedarkhand'(old name of Garhwal Region of Uttarakhand).

As per scriptures of HINDU RELIGION , the holy centres of Gangotri, Yamunotri, Shri Kedarnathji & Shri Badrinathji - collectively called theChardham (meaning four sacred spots) - are the most sacred of all pilgrimages. Undertaking a journey to these places will not just wash away one's sins but ensure release from the cycle of birth and death.THE honour conferred on these places is not surprising.
