Complete Char Dham Yatra Guide: Everything You Need to Know

The Char Dham Yatra is one of the most sacred pilgrimages in Hinduism, taking devotees through four holy shrines nestled in the majestic Himalayas of Uttarakhand.

What is the Char Dham Yatra?

The Char Dham pilgrimage covers four sacred temples: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. These shrines, situated at altitudes ranging from 3,000 to 3,600 meters, are considered the holiest pilgrimage circuit in India.

Best Time to Visit

The yatra season typically runs from May to October, with the portals opening in April/May and closing in October/November. The best months are May–June and September–October, avoiding the monsoon season (July–August) due to landslide risks.

• Comfortable trekking shoes with good grip
• Rain gear and waterproof bags
• Basic medicines for altitude sickness
• Sunscreen and sunglasses
• Portable phone charger
