What is the Chardham Yatra?

The Chardham Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage covering four holy shrines in Uttarakhand:

1. Yamunotri – Source of the Yamuna River

2. Gangotri – Origin of the holy Ganges

3. Kedarnath – One of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva

4. Badrinath – Sacred abode of Lord Vishnu

The journey through the Himalayas is not just religious but also a breathtaking expedition through nature’s marvels.
