Char Dham Yatra starts from Yamunotri
Char Dham Yatra is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimages. It includes a journey to four holy Himalayan temples. Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. The meaning of ‘Char’ in Hindi shows four more ‘Dham’ religious places. It is believed that a person should complete the Char Dham Yatra in the clockwise direction. Therefore, the pilgrimage begins with Yamunotri, ending in Gangotri, then Kedarnath and finally Badrinath.
