The Do Dham Yatra encompasses the sacred visit to Kedarnath temple, Badrinath temple, and Tungnath. Situated amidst the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, both Kedarnath and Badrinath Dham, along with Tungnath, hold significant spiritual importance. Travelers can embark on this journey from Delhi, Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun, with Haridwar and Rishikesh serving as the nearest railway stations. Typically spanning 6 to 7 days, the Do Dham Yatra provides an opportunity to explore these revered sites deeply entrenched in Hindu mythology.
Kedarnath Dham, revered as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India, is nestled amidst snow-capped peaks. Legend has it that Lord Shiva transformed into a bull to elude the Pandavas, seeking absolution for their actions. As they discovered him, only the hump of his bull form remained visible, leading to the construction of the sacred Kedarnath temple.
Badrinath Dham, nestled between the majestic Narayan and Nar mountain ranges, is a revered pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Its serene surroundings and picturesque landscapes make it a haven for devotees, nature enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.
Tungnath, situated in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, stands as one of the highest Shiva temples globally. As the highest among the five Panch Kedar temples, it holds profound significance in Hindu mythology and attracts pilgrims and trekkers seeking spiritual elevation amidst lofty peaks.
