One of the most revered pilgrimages in Hinduism is the Char Dham Yatra, which means “The travel of 4 temples” and their names are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.

All 4 temple journey is called a ‘Chardham Yatra’ and these places are available to visit together only in the summers. Every temple (or Dham) is located in the different districts of the Garhwal region and the terrain is also very inconvenient by the road.

The location and the journey are always a topic of discussion when someone is planning a trip to Chardham Yatra and that’s why we will understand the methods of traveling to Chardham.

The Terrain of Chardham Yatra:

As we know all these Char Dham Yatra temples are located in the mighty Himalayas and some of Dham like Kedarnath have no road connection to the temple. So in these cases, pilgrims have to hike the difficult terrain or they use horses or sherpas to cover the distance.

The challenging terrain is compounded by harsh and unpredictable weather conditions in the region, including heavy rainfall or snowfall, landslides, and fluctuating temperatures, all of which make reaching the Char Dham temples a daunting task.

Where is 4 Dham Located?

All 4 Dhams are located at more than 10,000 feet above sea level in the state of Uttrakhand. But all 4 temples are spread across the different districts of Uttrakhand.

  • Yamunotri and Gangotri These 2 Dhams are situated in the district of Uttarkashi and are known for being the sources of 2 major lifeline rivers of India.
  • Kedarnath this Dham is situated at an altitude of 11,755 feet in the Rudraprayag district, which is the highest among located in all 4 Dham. 
  • Badrinath is situated in the Chamoli district, also known as the Badrinarayan temple.

So as all 4 temples are situated far from each other which makes it difficult to visit Chardham in one go, those pilgrims who travel through the road face several challenges by the terrain like logistics, vehicles, hard to drive, and too much time.   If devotees want to avoid all these hassles, they have a more comfortable and less time-consuming option which is 4 Dham yatra by helicopter that facilitates them to meet their lords.

What are the Benefits of 4 Dham Yatra by Helicopter?
