This Yatra or pilgrimage comprises the tour of the four most holy & magical sites – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and – with the Himalayas being the custodian of these. In the Language of Hindi, ‘char’ means four, and ‘Dham’ stands for religious destinations.
Being in the lap of the Himalayas these high-altitude shrines remain enveloped by heavy snow for six months making them closed and inaccessible for around six months and the process follows every year, The Doors or “Dwars” are opened for “Darshan” in summer (April or May) and remain opened till the onset of winter (October or November). For Chardham Yatra, mythology says “to reap the optimum heavenly blessings one should complete the trip in clockwise direction” with starting Shrine being of Yamunotri, moving forward towards Gangotri, onto shrine Devoted to Lord Shiva (Kedarnath), and the final Shrine is of Lord Badrinath.
