Tour Overview
Uttarakhand, also known as Devbhoomi or the Land of Gods, is home to numerous temples and welcomes devotees all year round. Among the countless religious sites and circuits that devotees visit in Uttarakhand, one of the most prominent is the Do Dham Yatra. This Yatra or pilgrimage is a tour of two holy sites – Kedarnath and Tunganth – nestled high up in the Himalayas. In Hindi, ‘Do’ means two and ‘Dham’ refers to religious destinations.
The high-altitude shrines remain shut for around six months every year, opening in summers (April or May) and closing with the onset of winter (October or November). It is believed that one should complete the Char Dham Yatra in a clockwise direction. Hence, the pilgrimage starts from Kedarnath and finally ends at Chopta-Tungnath. The journey can be completed by road or by air (helicopter services are available).
KEDARNATH dham is dedicated to Lord Shiva. And also Tungnath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Tungnath temple has been found be the highest Shiva temple of the World and is also the highest among the five Panch Kedar temples. The Do Dham Yatra is as divine as it is arduous but fulfills the soul!
