The main temple, dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, is surrounded by surreal peaks and thermal springs. Pilgrims offer prayers and bathe in the Surya Kund, a natural hot spring believed to have medicinal properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Gangotri<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gangotri, the origin point of the sacred Ganga, is located at 3,100 metres. While the river officially emerges from Gaumukh (19 km ahead), the Gangotri Temple is the main place of worship. The site is known for its serenity and connection to ancient mythology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kedarnath<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the most remote and physically demanding of the four dhams, Kedarnath is situated at an elevation of 3,583 metres. The Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is accessible either via a 16 km trek or by helicopter. In fact, Riya Travel has multiple packages for <\/span><b>Char Dham Yatra by helicopter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The backdrop of snow-clad peaks adds to the temple\u2019s mysticism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Badrinath<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Set between the Nar and Narayan mountain ranges, Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The temple sits at 3,133 meters and is part of both the Char Dham and the larger Chota Char Dham circuits. Apart from its spiritual allure, Badrinath also impresses visitors with its architecture and vibrant pilgrim energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2047 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-1024x770.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-1536x1154.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-2048x1539.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-480x361.jpg 480w, https:\/\/riyagroup.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/kedarnath-india-3-800x601.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mapping_the_Char_Dham_Yatra_Travel_Sequence_Accessibility_and_Key_Logistics\"><\/span><b>Mapping the Char Dham Yatra: Travel Sequence, Accessibility and Key Logistics<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The traditional <\/span><b>Char Dham Yatra<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> route moves in a clockwise direction, beginning from Yamunotri, followed by Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath.
