In the heart of the Garhwal Himalayas lies a path that leads not just to temples, but to timeless serenity — the Do Dham Yatra. This journey takes you to Kedarnath and Badrinath— related to the two powerful gods of Indian mythology.
The path is not just a pilgrimage, it is an awakening of the soul. The silence of Kedarnath, broken only by the chants of ‘Har Har Mahadev’, and the divine calm of Badrinath, where the Alaknanda flows in devotion — together, they offer a transformation that lingers far beyond the journey.
This is not just a yatra of distance; it’s a yatra of depth. A soulful invitation to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the divine within. Whether you walk the path, fly by air, or trace the route by road, what you’ll discover is far beyond the physical. You’ll find devotion sculpted in every mountain, and faith woven into every breeze.
Whether you seek blessings, peace, or purpose, the Do Dham Yatra calls to every seeker.
Walk with faith. Return with grace.
The Do Dham Yatra is a journey through Himalayan terrain—it is a sacred unraveling of devotion, myth, and awakening. A celestial alignment between Kedarnath and Badrinath, where every bend in the road is a whisper of legend and every step echoes with timeless prayers.
Your pilgrimage begins in the ancient cities of Haridwar or Rishikesh, where the sacred Ganga descends from the mountains and devotion fills the air. These spiritual towns are more than starting points—they are places to pause, to breathe, and to let go of the world before stepping into the sacred.
As you ascend through Guptkashi, Sonprayag, and Gaurikund, the land begins to speak—of mountains that remember, and rivers that carry legends.
From Gaurikund, a 16 km ascent leads to the divine citadel of Kedarnath, nestled at 11,755 feet among snow-clad peaks. But this is no ordinary shrine—this is where Lord Shiva, in his bull form, vanished into the earth to elude the Pandavas. Only his hump remained, upon which this ancient temple now stands—one of the sacred twelve Jyotirlingas, a beacon of divine presence.
Every dawn here begins with Rudrabhishek, as the first rays of light dance across stone and spirit. Pilgrims pour their hearts into the chant of “Har Har Mahadev”, finding in the silence of the valley a soundless, eternal strength.
From the realm of Shiva, the path now turns to the abode of Lord Vishnu. Through Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, and the mystical heights of Joshimath, the road climbs towards Badrinath—where the Alaknanda River flows with a devotional rhythm, and the mighty Neelkanth Peak stands watch like a guardian of dharma.
It is believed that Lord Vishnu once meditated here beneath the Badri tree for a thousand years, in stillness and grace. Today, the Badrinath Temple welcomes seekers with its vibrant façade and golden aura—where faith glows as brightly as the flame in the eternal Akhand Jyoti.
Nearby lies Mana Village, India’s last village—home to the fabled Vyasa Gufa, where Sage Vyasa dictated the Mahabharata to Lord Ganesha. Step into the cave, and you may still hear the echoes of ancient verses in the stone.
Along the way, five holy sangams—Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag, Nandprayag, and Vishnuprayag—mark the merging of sacred rivers. These Panch Prayags are merely geographical marvels, and cosmic crossings where nature and divinity embrace.
Let the Do Dham Route be your sacred return—to peace, to presence, to purpose.
Walk with faith. Stand in divinity.
