A family trip to Dev Bhoomi: Exploring the holy places in Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand. in northern India, is known as Dev Bhoomi or the land of Gods. People from all over India flock to Dev Bhoomi for the char dham yatra. While the 4 dham yatra is popular as a pilgrimage trip, there are many other holy places in Uttarakhand to visit.

The Char Dham temples

The 4 dham refers to Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. If you book a char dham yatra package by air from Jagannath Tours, then you can cover all these places comfortably through a combination of air and road. The 4 dham by helicopter allows you to visit Kedarnath quickly, avoiding the long trek.

Yamunotri and Gangotri are holy sites where the rivers Yamuna and Ganga originated. There are temples dedicated to the Goddesses in these places. Kedarnath and Badrinath are visited one after the other in sequence, and you can even opt for a Badrinath Kedarnath tour package. While Kedarnath is one of the 12 Jyotirling temples, Badrinath has a Vishnu temple established by Adi Shankaracharya.
