Plan Your Char Dham Pilgrimage Tours


If you are looking for a religious tour, you definitely need to take a tour to the Char Dham. This is an ultimate journey to heavenly abode. If you think you need to refresh your body, mind and soul, this is the place you should visit. Plan your Chardham Pilgrimage tour and get out of circumlocutions of life and death. It is a journey to attain spiritual enlightenment or Moksha and get close to god. The term ‘Char Dham’ means 4 pilgrimages. Char, which is the first word, means numeral 4, and the Dham, which is second word, means pilgrimage. The 4 Dham Tour comprises Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath Ji and Sri Badrinath Ji. These pilgrimages are threshold to eternity and spirituality.



While you plan your Chardham Pilgrimage Tour, these are the things you need to note.

• You have to physically and mentally sound and fit to take up the journey as the Yatra involves trekking at Yamunotri about 5-8 KM, at Kedarnath 14 KM (one way).


• You should carry sufficient heavy woolens including sweaters, woolen thermal body warmers, trousers, monkey caps, mufflers and any other cold fighting apparel. Other items needed to be carried are wind sheeters, raincoats, sleeping bags, blankets, water proof shoes with sufficient grips, small water proof tents, torch with sufficient batteries and walking sticks. Ladies are advised to avoid sarees. Instead body hugging clothing like Salwar Kamiz, pants, etc are advised.


• Carry dry eatable stocks with you like Biscuits, Sugar, Candies, Chocolates, Milk Powder, Assorted dry fruits, Honey, Lemons and Tinned foods and other items suiting your palates. Water bottle, spoons, tumblers, saucers and plates may also be carried. Don’t throw wrappers of chocolates etc. on road or in the forest trek during journey, better to use dustbins if possible otherwise keep it in your pocket and throw when you find dustbin.

• You may hire a registered pony walla, porter or dandy man. They are available for prefixed tariffs.






• Ponies carrying luggage and eatables should remain with you all the time. At no point of time should you get out of touch with them. This is to avoid inconvenience.

• You need to move slowly and steadily, as this is an arduous pilgrimage and maintain discipline. Instructions of Yatra officer should be adhered to.
