The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand will begin on April 30, 2025, with the opening of the Gangotri and Yamunotri temples. This revered pilgrimage covers four significant shrines: Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, all nestled in the picturesque Himalayas. The opening of Badrinath temple is scheduled for May 4, 2025, while the date for Kedarnath will be announced on Mahashivratri, February 26, 2025. The Yatra attracts millions of devotees each year, offering a spiritually enriching experience surrounded by nature’s grandeur.
The Char Dham Yatra holds immense religious significance. Sacred texts suggest that the pilgrimage helps absolve individuals of all sins, offering them liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is believed that undertaking this journey leads to salvation and spiritual enlightenment. The pilgrimage is not only about visiting the shrines but also about personal growth, spiritual awakening, and connection to the divine.
