Gangotri

Gangotri is the sacred source of the Ganges River and home to the revered Gangotri Temple dedicated to Goddess Ganga. Nestled at an altitude of 3,415 meters, this pilgrimage site is surrounded by alpine forests and snow-covered peaks, offering a serene and divine atmosphere for devotees. The temple marks the beginning of the Bhagirathi River, which later becomes the holy Ganges. Pilgrims visit Gangotri to seek blessings and spiritual cleansing. The nearby Gomukh Glacier trek is popular among trekkers as it leads to the actual source of the Bhagirathi River. Gangotri is accessible by road from Uttarkashi and is best visited between May and September during the pilgrimage season.

Kedarnath

Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and a pivotal shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Set amidst the majestic Himalayas at an altitude of 3,583 meters, the Kedarnath Temple is a symbol of spiritual devotion and resilience. The temple is believed to have been constructed by the Pandavas and later revived by Adi Shankaracharya. To reach Kedarnath, pilgrims undertake an 18 km trek from Gaurikund through rugged terrain and beautiful valleys, or opt for helicopter services available during the pilgrimage season. The temple remains open from late April to early November, and visiting Kedarnath offers a spiritually enriching experience paired with awe-inspiring mountain vistas.

Badrinath

Badrinath is one of the four sacred sites of the Char Dham Yatra and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Located at 3,133 meters, the Badrinath Temple sits between the Nar and Narayan mountain ranges on the banks of the Alaknanda River. This temple is a major pilgrimage center for Vaishnavites and is famed for its ancient, self-manifested idol of Lord Vishnu. Badrinath is well connected by road and offers pilgrims a comfortable stay along with various facilities. Nearby attractions include the historic Mana Village — the last Indian village on the Indo-Tibetan border — and the natural hot springs called Tapt Kund, known for their therapeutic properties. The best time to visit Badrinath is from May to October during the pilgrimage season.
