According to Hindu texts and tradition, one must undertake a pilgrimage or Teerth Yatra once in his life. It is considered as one of the five duties of a human being to be completed in his lifetime. It is widely believed that a visit to the sacred Char Dham Temples of Uttarakhand leads to attainment of ‘Moksha’ or liberation. Every human being should consider visiting these four holy places at least once in their lifetime. Considered as the most sacred religious places to be visited by Hindus to get rid of their sins and pave path to ultimate goal of human life – the Moksha, a huge number of devotees flock to these temples every year. There is no restriction on visiting the temples for Foreigners or for people from different religions. The local administration and the state government makes elaborate arrangements every year for welcoming the pilgrims.

What makes the yatra even more exciting is the spellbinding views of the Himalayas, mountain forests, meadows, waterfalls, rivers, valleys, and other lovely faces of nature that one comes across on the way. The journey takes you to the pious Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi, blissful Gaurikund, Kedarnath Gufa, Tapt Kund, Brahma Kapal, Neelkanth Peaks, Bhagirathi River, Vasuki Taal, Surya Kund, Divya Shila and many more sacred sites. The Chardham Darshan Yatra of Uttarakhand always commences from Yamunotri and then continues to Gangotri and Kedarnath before coming to an end in Badrinath.
