RELIGIOUS
The holy Chardham yatra is one of the most sought-after pilgrimages. Devotees eagerly await to undertake this spiritual journey, especially during the peak months, starting from March-April.
This yatra, which is approximately a 1600 km route, can be started from Haridwar or Rishikesh, though Delhi also offers a prime starting location owing to its connectivity to all major cities in the country. One can check the Chardham Yatra package for more details.
Ideally, there are four routes from which one can start this holy journey:
The Chardham Yatra is done in the following sequence:
Yamunotri → Gangotri→ Kedarnath → Badrinath
● Ideally, this is the route that is followed by the devotees.
● According to Hindu mythology, it is considered a sacred belief that the auspicious yatra should be covered in a clockwise direction.
● Thus, the yatra starts from the West(Yamunotri), then goes through Gangotri and Kedarnath, and then finally finishes at Badrinath in the South direction.
The Chardham tour package can be checked for an ideal starting location for the holy pilgrimage.
Yatra Route to Yamunotri dham:
One can often start the Chardham yatra from Rishikesh, given the serene beauty and the spiritual hues surrounding it.

One can also take this route from Delhi. The distance from Delhi to Rishikesh's distance is approximately 230 km. One can also opt for the Chardham helicopter package for air travel.

Delhi → Rishikesh → Tehri → Uttarkashi → Bhatwari→ Gangnani → Harsil → Gangotri
Yatra Route to Kedarnath
Delhi → Rishikesh → Devprayag → Srinagar → Rudraprayag → Tilwara → Agastyamuni → Kund → Guptkashi → Phata → Rampur→ Sonprayag → Gaurikund→ Rambara Bridge → Lincholi → Kedarnath
Yatra Route to Badrinath

Yatra Route for the Bada Chardham:
