According to Hindu Mythology, the auspicious yatra of Chardham should be undertaken from west to east in a clockwise direction. This means Yatra starts from Yamunotri, then proceeds to Gangotri Temple, Kedarnath Temple and terminates at Badrinath Temple. While planning a Chardham Yatra, you must be thinking of exploring some other nearby attractions to enjoy the natural beauty closely. Chardham Yatra is the most popular spiritual yatra starting from April-May and continuing till Oct-Nov every year in Uttarakhand, India. There is a traditional system of commencing pilgrimage to the four shrines of Uttaranchal state, starting from Yamunotri and then Gangotri, the pilgrimage to Sri Kedarnath follows next. At Yamunotri and Gangotri, the pilgrims take bath in the sacred rivers and get cleansed their bodies and soul and then get ready for further pilgrimage to Sri Kedarnath. The Pilgrims also carry Ganga water from these places to offer to the Linga of Shiva at Kedarnath. Now Uttarakhand is also trying to promote Winter Chardham Yatra, which will include Kharsali, Mukhba, Ukhimath, and Joshimath. For details visit https://www.chardhamtourism.co.in/chardham-route-map.
