Rooted in ancient scriptures, the practice of undertaking a journey of spiritual significance or a pilgrimage is central to almost all the major religions in the world. Home to some of the most ancient civilizations in the world, India has several significant pilgrimage sites, places commemorated with holy shrines, rivers, temples deemed with miraculous capacities. Of these, a well-known Hindu pilgrimage circuit is the ‘Char Dham of Uttarakhand’ or Chota Char Dham Yatra, literally meaning the small four abodes of God in the Indian Himalayas. Part of Uttarkhand’s Garhwal region, this sacred circuit comprises four pilgrimage sites namely Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. These sites are not only blessed with spectacular natural beauty but it is also believed that traversing this divine circuit opens the gate to salvation and washes away the pilgrim’s sins. It is no wonder that so many devotees from all over the world book pilgrimage special tour packages and undertake the Himalayan Char Dham yatra seeking spiritual fulfillment.
The Char Dham will be open for tourists from 19th May 2021 and if you want to travel to these sacred places in utmost safety, then IRCTC Tourism offers several Himalayan Char Dham Yatra packages curated keeping the pilgrim’s experience in mind.
