The Chardham Yatra by Road (Ex-Haridwar) is a deeply spiritual journey through the divine landscapes of Uttarakhand, covering the four sacred shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Starting from Haridwar—one of India’s holiest cities and a key gateway to the Char Dham—the pilgrimage unfolds across lush valleys, sacred rivers, and ancient temples nestled in the Himalayas. The yatra begins with a visit to Yamunotri, the origin of the Yamuna River, followed by Gangotri, the sacred source of the Ganga. The journey continues to Kedarnath, a prominent shrine of Lord Shiva located amidst snow-clad mountains, and concludes at Badrinath, the abode of Lord Vishnu. Undertaking the Chardham Yatra by road from Haridwar offers a perfect blend of devotion and adventure, letting pilgrims witness the spiritual essence and natural beauty of Uttarakhand.
