Char Dham Yatra

The Char Dham is the most important Hindu pilgrimage circuit in the Indian Himalayas. Nestling in the lofty peaks are the four most holy pilgrimages of India - Yamunotri, Gangotri, Sri Kedarnathji and Sri Badrinathji, collectively referred to as the Char Dham (or four pilgrimage centers) of Hinduism.

It is said that Chardham must be visited from left to right starting from Yamunotri, going on to Gangotri, then to Kedarnath and lastly completing the journey at Badrinath. This is called the parikrama according to Hindu tradition.
