Know Your Destination

Kedarnath:

One of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, the Kedarnath is considered the toughest to reach. Still, a huge amount of devotees from all over the country come here every year due to its religious significance, ethereal grace, and glory. The temple requires 20-22 km of trekking. But the views from its highest peak are so mesmerising that it would overcome all the fatigue you would get from the tough trek.

According to the legends, God Shiva resides in the Kedarnath as an incarnation of a Lingam. It’s also said the Pandavas came here to seek the blessings of Shiva after killing so many people during the Mahabharata war. Overall Kedarnath is enveloped in high spiritual vibrations and devotion to Lord Shiva. And if you are a true devotee, you must come and visit Kedarnath at least once in a lifetime.

Badrinath:

In the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state, on the banks of river Alaknanda, the Badrinath Dham, or the Badrinarayan temple is devoted to Lord Vishnu. Being one of the Char Dham sites of Uttarakhand, it is highly worshipped and considered very holy and pious. It opens for six months and remains closed for half of the year.

The temple is situated at an elevation of 3100m and provides a 360°view of the whole town encircled by the enchanted Himalayas. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya during the 19th century had built this sacred sanctum.

Gangotri:

The temple dedicated to the most pious and holy river of Hinduism, is located near the Bhagirath stone. This Hindu pilgrimage site is the birthplace of the river Ganga where Bhagirath performed penance and so for that reason, the river is also called Bhagirathi.

The Gangotri temple is elevated at the height of 3,100m above mean sea level yet it attracts a huge number of travellers to have Darshans and worship the Maa Ganga One seeking peace and serenity must visit here once in their lifetime. The environment here makes the visitor feel the divinity of energy present in it.

Yamunotri:

Yamunotri or Jamunotri, this sacred sanctum is dedicated to the goddess Yamuna and is presumed as the birthplace of the sacred river. The temple opens on the eve of Akshaya Tritiya during spring and closes back during Diwali. Being highly elevated at an altitude of 4,421m the temple premise furnishes the panoramic view of the snow-draped Himalayan mountains. It throws optimistic energy as well as enriches the soul with liveliness.

The visit to the Dham is considered auspicious and one of the must-do things as per Hindu beliefs. It’s religious thinking to wash off all the sins one has ever committed.

Harsil:

Snuggled between tall, lofty, and snow-covered mountains, this quaint town is known for its scenic beauty and tranquillity. The valley is greatly inhabited by the people of the Bhotia tribe and is located in the Uttarkashi district.

The town is heightened at an elevation of 2,745m and so delivers the delightful vistas of the entire valley. Furthermore, offering solitude away from the hustle-bustle of commercial life. Harsil is also very famous for its apple production which was introduced by an Englishman, Fredrick E Wilson. Harsil also receives heavy snowfall during winter and that allures the tourists the most.

Kharsali:

The village, Kharsali, can be memorized as the winter abode of the idol of Goddess Yamunotri who is brought down every year during Diwali and remains there until April. All these ceremonies are being done with great enthusiasm and celebration.

This serene and peaceful Hamlet is hardly 6-7 km away from the Yamunotri Dham in the Uttarkashi district. Its base at an elevation of 2675m offers the magnificent sightseeing of the snow-covered Himalayas.
Kharsali is not only a pleasing-to-the-eye town but also holds divine energy and is highly significant from a religious point of view.

Dehradun:

Dehradun, also known as the Abode of Dronacharya from the Mahabharata period, is a renowned mountain retreat. It is vastly visited throughout the year for its unmatched glory and aesthetic scenic views. Surrounded by the snow-clad Himalayan mountains, the hill station is elevated at a height of 450 m above sea level. Its pleasant and soul-enriching environment is what attracts tourists from all around the world. The district also has some major destinations to visit such as Robbers’s Cave, Tapkeshwar Temple, Clock Tower, and more.
