The Char Dham Yatra 2026 is one of India’s most revered pilgrimages, taking devotees on a divine circuit through the four sacred shrines — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath — nestled in the majestic Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. This holy journey symbolizes spiritual purification, self-discovery, and liberation from the cycle of life and death. As you travel through snow-clad peaks, gushing rivers, and ancient temples, each destination offers its own unique mythological significance and breathtaking beauty. The Char Dham Yatra is not just a pilgrimage; it’s a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual adventure that connects the soul deeply with the divine power of the Himalayas.
