Uttarakhand Pilgrimage Packages

The pious Uttarakhand is dubbed the Land of the Gods, and indeed it is. This holy ground of the mighty Himalayas and the glistening Ganga and Yamuna is replete with pilgrimage sites that can offer both the blessings of the divine and the much-needed peace of mind. Uttarakhand is where the popular Chhota Chardham Yatra is performed at high altitude Hindu shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri, and Gangotri. Badrinath Dham is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Kedarnath Dham to Lord Shiva, Yamunotri to Goddess Yamuna and Gangotri to Goddess Ganga.

While Yamunotri and Gangtori are located in the Uttarkashi district, Kedarnath and Badrinath are located in Rudraprayag and Chamoli districts respectively. The best time to go on a Char Dham Pilgrimage Tour is from April to June. The weather during these months is pleasant and allows you to make the most of your trip. Monsoons arrive from July to September, and there is a possibility of road blockages and landslides during this time. However, you can still take the Char Dham Yatra Yatra during this time.

Uttarakhand is also the holy land to witness the divinity at several river confluences or Prayag, which in number are five, and thus, called Panch Prayags. Then there are Panch Kedars and Panch Badris that add to the spiritual ambience of the state. The Panch Kedar refers to Madhmaheshwar, Tungnath, Rudranath and Kalpnath Temples, all of them dedicated to Lord Shiva. Panch Badri refers to the five different places of worship from Satopanth to Nandprayag where Lord Vishnu is worshipped in different forms. These temples are Vishal Badri (Badrinath), Yogdhan Badri, Bhavishya Badri, Vridha Badri and Adi Badri. Needless to mention that Uttarakhand is also home to one of the four Kumbh Mela spots in India, Haridwar. Also called the gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas, Haridwar attracts millions of Hindu devotees to its temples as well as its Ganges Ghats.

The region of Kumaon is also replete with a number of Hindu temples like Baijnath, Patal Bhubaneshwar and Jageshwar, each being an important religious destination to visit in Uttarakhand. The state of Uttarakhand though may seem to have more temples than a sacred shrine of any other religion but there are a few significant holy sites for people of other faith as well.

The state houses the highest Gurudwara in the world, Hemkund Sahib along with other important Gurudwaras like Nanakmatta and Ritha Sahib for the Sikh devotees to obtain blessings at. For the Buddhist pilgrims, the Mind Rolling Monastery in Dehradun is the major pilgrimage site whereas, the Muslim devotees can offer prayers at various mosques in the state as well as the famed Piran Kaliyar Shareef near Roorkee. Uttarakhand also boasts a plethora of British era churches that are both beautiful and sacred places to pay homage in the state.
