Best Time to Visit:
- The Chardham Yatra generally takes place from April to November, when the temples are open. The pilgrimage season starts with the opening of the Yamunotri and Gangotri temples, typically on Akshay Tritiya (in April or May), and ends in October or November, with the temples closing for the winter.
How to Reach:
- By Air: The nearest airport to the Chardham Yatra is Jolly Grant Airport (Dehradun) for reaching Yamunotri and Gangotri. For Kedarnath, there is Heli service from Phata or Gaurikund. The nearest airport to Badrinath is Dehradun or Haridwar.
- By Train: The nearest railway stations are Haridwar or Rishikesh, both well-connected by rail from major cities.
- By Road: Roads leading to the Chardham temples are well-developed, but the terrain is challenging due to the mountainous region.
Importance of Chardham Yatra:
The Chardham Yatra is an important aspect of Hindu spirituality. It is considered an opportunity for physical and mental purification, offering devotees a chance to seek blessings and fulfill religious vows. The journey is also an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Himalayas, which are revered as the abode of gods in Hindu tradition. Many pilgrims undertake the yatra as a part of their lifetime spiritual journey.
