Overview

The Do Dham Yatra: Kedarnath & Badrinath is a revered pilgrimage in Uttarakhand, encompassing two of the holiest Hindu shrines—Kedarnath and Badrinath. The journey begins at Kedarnath, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, located at an altitude of 11,755 ft. Pilgrims can reach the temple via a 16 km trek from Gaurikund or opt for a helicopter ride. Surrounded by majestic snow-clad peaks, Kedarnath Temple holds profound religious significance.

After seeking blessings, the pilgrimage proceeds to Badrinath, a sacred shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu, nestled at 10,170 ft along the banks of the Alaknanda River. As part of the Char Dham circuit, the temple is renowned for its intricate architecture and the Tapt Kund, a natural hot water spring believed to have healing properties.

En route, devotees visit key spiritual landmarks such as Rudraprayag, Joshimath, and Mana Village—India’s last inhabited village near the Tibetan border. The ideal time for the Do Dham Yatra is between May to June and September to October, as the monsoon months bring risks of landslides.

Blending deep spirituality with mesmerizing Himalayan landscapes, the Do Dham Yatra offers an enriching and transformative experience for every devotee.
