The Chardham Yatra by Road (Ex-Rishikesh) is a deeply spiritual journey through the divine landscapes of Uttarakhand, covering the four sacred shrines of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Starting from Rishikesh—a spiritual hub and gateway to the Char Dham—the pilgrimage unfolds across lush valleys, sacred rivers, and ancient temples nestled in the majestic 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 Rishikesh offers a perfect blend of devotion and adventure, letting pilgrims experience the spiritual essence and natural beauty of Uttarakhand.
