What is the Char Dham Yatra?

The Char Dham Yatra is considered to be one of the highly revered Tirth Yatras in Hinduism. This yatra is undertaken by devotees from all over India to get rid of the cycle of birth and death and achieve Moksha. You get to explore four of the holiest sites in Hinduism, including Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri, with Chardham Tour Packages. Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Badri, Kedarnath is the holy abode of Lord Kedar, Gangotri is the source of the river Ganga, and Yamunotri is the source of the River Yamuna. You can seek the blessings of Goddess Ganga at Gangotri Temple, perform various holy rituals at Yamunotri Temple, attend the Aarti ceremony at Kedarnath Temple, and absorb the serene ambiance of Badrinath Temple.

Best Time to Visit

The Chardham temples remain open from April or May to November or October for just half a year. The temples generally open after Akshaya Tritiya. However, the Mandir Samiti confirms the exact dates on the auspicious day of Maha Shivaratri. The final dates are determined by Bhimashankar Linga Temple's priest.

Since the Char Dham temples are located at high altitudes, they witness a heavy snowfall during winter, because of which the committee has to close the shrines during this season, making the months from October/November and April/May the best time to visit Char Dham. Moreover, during the winter when Kedarnath Temple's gates remain closed, Kedarnath's idol is shifted to Omkareshwar Temple, which is located in Ukhimath. Whereas, Mukhimath Temple in Mukba, Vasu Dev Temple in Joshimath, and Shani Dev Temple in Kharsali are the holy sites that become the winter home of the idols of Gangotri, Badrinath, and Yamunotri.

Avoid travelling in the monsoon season (mid-July to mid-August) as there are high chances of rainfall and the roads may be blocked. There are also chances of landslides during this season, making travel risky.

In 2026, the holy gates of the Gangotri and Yamunotri temples are anticipated to reopen on 30 April, while Kedarnath and Badrinath will reopen for devotees on 02 May 2026.

Char Dham Yatra 2026 Registration Process

Problems You Might Encounter

As most of the Chardham shrines are situated at high altitudes, devotees may encounter a few issues.

  • The Chardham Yatra involves lots of walking, and for the family's older members or those who are not used to long walks can pose many problems. In such a situation, you need to take regular breaks to feel refreshed and give your feet some rest.
  • Due to the high-altitude location of these temples, people may suffer from altitude sickness and may also face difficulty in acclimatizing to the challenging weather conditions properly. It is therefore advised to consult your doctor before embarking on the religious expedition. You should carry a first aid box along with other items such as a thermometer, adhesive rolls, balm for muscles/joints, bandages, antiseptic ointment, band-aids, cold cream, and medicines prescribed by your doctor.

Top Things to Do during Char Dham Yatra

Explore Hot Water Springs

During the Chardham Yatra, you will encounter many old hot water springs. Surya Kund is one such hot water spring situated at the Yamunotri Temple. It has been named after Surya, the father of the Yamuna Goddess.

Visit Waterfalls

The Char Dham Yatra is considered to be a paradise for nature lovers and trekkers. The journey will give tourists a chance to have the most breathtaking views of waterfalls across the Char sites. You can visit Vasundhara Falls, which is situated on the Alaknanda River bank. Kempty Falls is another famous waterfall situated on the way to Yamunotri.

Witness the Ganga Aarti

Post sunset, Ganga Aarti is performed at the Har Ki Pauri Ghat in Haridwar on the bank of the sacred river Ganga. You can float "Diyas" and flowers, surrounded by the mantras chanting and the lights reflection off the flowing river's surface.

Indulge in Local Cuisine

During the Chardham Yatra, you can relish Kumaoni and Garhwali cuisines. Indulge yourself in the authentic local cuisines goodness such as Phanu, Kode ki Roti, Thechwani, Chaunsa and Bhang ki Chutney.

Explore the Nearby Temples

During the Chardham Yatra, you can visit the nearby attractions including Ukhimath Temple, Shankaracharya Math, Kalimath Temple, Triyuginarayan Temple, Vishwanath Temple, Vridha Badri, Chopta, and many more.

Important Travel Tips

  • At least a month before the yatra, you're advised to start preparatory exercises. Even 4 to 5 km per day of brisk walking would be beneficial.
  • Choose a trustworthy Chardham tour operator to book the yatra, ensuring you can have a smooth journey.
  • At high altitudes, breathing exercises such as Pranayama would help combat the lack of oxygen.
  • At all costs, you should avoid drinking water unless it is bottled water or clean natural source.
  • Food-wise, anything that is fried, boiled, and cooked is considered to be a safer bet than anything raw or cold. So avoid drinks with ice, raw vegetables, cold salads, etc.
  • Wherever you go, carry an insect/mosquito repellent to avoid diseases such as itchy discomfort or malaria.
  • Always carry a basic emergency kit, you may need for fever, diarrhoea, etc. Also, keep on an antiseptic ointment or your personal band-aids.
  • Use sunscreen to prevent sunburn. If you're going out in the sun, you should wear a hat.
  • Ensure you are mentally and physically fit to perform the journey, as the Yatra is a bit difficult and involves trekking at high altitude. Get yourself examined medically and certified fit for the Yatra.
  • Carry heavy woollens, including wind cheaters, raincoats, thermal body warmers, blankets, small waterproof tents, sleeping bags, waterproof shoes with good grips, walking sticks, and a torch with sufficient batteries.
  • Keep a slip in your pocket that includes essential information like address, your name, and the name of the accompanying Yatri.
  • Women should not wear sarees and opt for trousers or Salwar Kameez.
  • Carry dry eatables and water. Firewood and ration quota are available on the way and can be purchased.
  • During the Yatra, all medical facilities are free. You're advised to carry your own first aid box and personal medical kit.
  • Before finalizing the Chardham Travel Agency, check the inclusions of the package.
  • Before you travel, you should check the weather report and ensure you have enough woollen clothes to deal with extreme cold temperatures.
