The pilgrimage circuit known as Char Dham Yatra is the pilgrimage to Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri.
These places are the holiest of temples in Uttarakhand. They are so sacred that millions of Hindus visit them to free themselves of their sins.
Chardham Yatra takes place every year during April and ends in September-October. Temple priests of these temples announce the opening and closing dates of these temples. Tourists not only visit these temples but also some famous places in Uttarakhand in this Yatra.
These four ancient temples also marks the spiritual source of four sacred rivers as well: River Yamuna finds its source at Yamunotri, the River Alaknanda springs forth from Badrinath, the holy Ganga or Ganges originates at Gangotri, and the River Mandakini flows from Kedarnath.
