Chardham Yatra

Muktinath Yatra offers Chardham Yatra which is religious and holy journey towards the important pilgrimage sites. Chardham is referred to the four Hindu religious sites in Uttatkhand state of India. The Yatra starts from Yamunotri, then proceeding to Gangotri and finally to Kedarnath and Badrinath. Among 4 Chardham, Yamunotri and Gangotri are dedicated to goddess Yamuna and Ganga respectively. On the other hand, Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva while Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

Yamunotri
Muktinath Yatra initiates Chardham Yatra after your arrival in Kathmandu. Yatra begins to Haridwar via Gorakhpur. At first we move towards our first destination Yamunotri Dham by visiting different religious places. It is situated near the source of the river Yamuna. The Yamunotri temple is located on the left bank of the river Yamuna. The river is considered as a divine mother and a goddess for all the Hindus.

Gangotri
After visiting Yamunotri we move towards our next destination Gangotri Dham. It is situated on the bank of river Bhagirathi at an elevation of almost 3200m above sea level. It is also one of the most sacred and holy shrines for the Hindus.

Kedarnath
Similarly, we continue our religious journey towards our 3rd destination, Kedarnath. There are twelve Jyotirlingas of the Lord Shiva and Kedarnath is one of those twelve Jyotirlingas. It is situated near the source of Mandakini River. This temple is located at the height of 3585m above sea level and has very low level of Oxygen.

Badrinath
After visiting the three sacred Dhams, we then move towards our final destination, Badrinath. With the Neelkantha peak in the background, it is located between Nar and Narayan peaks. It is the most venerated and the largest among the five Badris also called as the Pancha Badri.

After completing the religious journey towards these four Dhams, we drive back to Gorakhpur and return back to Kathmandu. During the entire journey you can get the blessings from different God and Goddess and can be free from all the sins.
