Char Dham Yatra
Every year, millions of religious people visit the Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand, India. It is a well-known pilgrimage route. On this sacred journey, four shrines are visited: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. They are all located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand and are believed to be the abodes of four Deities. The Yatra takes place over 10–12 days, from April or May to October or November and covers 1,500 kilometers. It is a transformative experience that allows travelers to receive blessings and witness the beauty of the Himalayas. However, they are only open for six months a year because they are so high up in the Himalayas. It is believed that for the next six months, gods will honor Badri Narayan at Badrinath Temple. The journey starts at Yamunotri and goes clockwise through Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath as it goes around in a circle. This trip can be made by car or plane service. Some people choose to go only to Kedarnath and Badrinath. The journey begins at Yamunotri which is dedicated to the goddess Yamuna then proceeds to Gangotri which is dedicated to the Ganges river. The Kedarnath Temple is for Lord Kedar, who is a form of Shiva, and the Badrinath Temple is for Lord Vishnu. In Uttarakhand, the Char Dham Yatra is both spiritually satisfying and difficult, giving people a feeling of divine satisfaction.

badaryyākhyaṃ hareḥ kṣetraṃ triṣu lokeṣu durlabham

Located in all three realms, the hallowed spot of Badarī, devoted to Lord Hari, poses a daunting journey for any seeker. However, the mere thought of this divine abode brings swift redemption to those burdened by heinous transgressions. Moreover, those who depart in its midst attain ultimate liberation. (Skanda Purana 2.3.1.53)

Once again, travelling with Swamjis of Hare Krishna Golden Temple was a fantastic experience. In addition, the presence of Mukund Charana swamijis the yatra director is a tremendous boon. and the yatra team are, in my opinion, true torchbearers for the Sanathana Dharma. I beg you all to help in any manner you can . Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for swamji's facilitation of such a very moving spiritual journey for us. We can't wait to be involved with the sequels.

We had an excellent and uneventful trip to Char Dham yatra by helicopter, which Punya Kshetras had extremely well organised and arranged. They responded quickly to my emails and addressed my concerns while planning our trip. Given the difficult roads we had to navigate, having a good driver was critical - the journey was excellent and marvellous in terms of keeping us safe. The sadhus acted as our guides, and we are glad we chose them because they did an excellent job of explaining everything in detail. Punya Kshetras chose some of the best hotels for us to stay in (many of them right on the banks of beautiful rivers), and the majority of the hotel staff were extremely helpful.
