Char Dham Yatra 2026 Package | Kedarnath Badrinath

About Char Dham Yatra

Char Dham Yatra is one of the most sacred pilgrimages in Hinduism, visiting four Himalayan shrines in Uttarakhand — Kedarnath (Lord Shiva), Badrinath (Lord Vishnu), Gangotri (Goddess Ganga) and Yamunotri (Goddess Yamuna). The yatra typically runs May to November, with the temples closing for winter after Diwali.

Yug Yatra has been organising Char Dham Yatra packages from Gorakhpur since 1995. We handle registration, hotel, vehicle, permits and darshan coordination — pilgrims focus only on devotion.
