10 places to visit when you go on a Badrinath yatra

The 4 dham yatra is a visit to the four holy places in Uttarakhand. Of these four places, Kedarnath and Badrinath are the most important places. This is why many tourists prefer doing a dodham yatra where they cover only Badrinath and Kedarnath. Apart from the two main places of Badrinath and Kedarnath, there are many other places to visit during the char dham yatra.

While doing the 2 dham, people first go to Kedarnath before visiting Badrinath. Kedarnath has the temple of Lord Shiva. It is considered as one of the twelve Jyotirlings of Shiva and is revered by Shaivites. Badrinath is one among the 108 holy sites that Vaishnavas visit. If you book a Kedarnath Badrinath tour package from Delhi then you can visit both these holy places.

When you visit these places, you must visit the two main temples of Kedarnath and Badrinarayana. People visit these places to get a darshan of the two deities. Lakhs of people visit these places, and they are always crowded. When you choose the Kedarnath and Badrinath trip from Jagannath Tours, you have the option of visiting other places nearby.
