Jagannath Tours
In India, we revere and worship rivers and Goddesses. Two of the major rivers in North India are the Yamuna and Ganga. Yamunotri and Gangotri are important religious places since they are the origin of the two rivers. If you do the 4 dham yatra you will be visiting these two places of pilgrimage. When you take a char dham yatra yamunotri gangotri package from Jagannath Tours, you can visit both these places and take a dip in the holy rivers.
Yamunotri is the place where the river Yamuna originates. When you go on the char dham yatra, Yamunotri is the first place you will be visiting. Also called as Jamunotri, it has a temple for the Goddess Yamuna. It is located 150 kms away from Uttarakashi. The river originates from a glacier high in the mountains. Since it is not accessible, the temple is present at the bottom of the mountain.
The temple was built by King Sundarshan Shah, who ruled the Tehri region. Once you visit the temple as part of 4 dham, you can visit the hot springs in Surya Kund. People cook offerings to the Goddess in the hot water and eat it as prasad.
When you book a Badrinath Kedarnath Gangotri tour package from Jagannath Tours, you will be taken to Gangotri. It is a very holy place for Hindus since it is considered as the place where Ganga originates. It is located on the bank of the river Bhagirathi. It is believed that this is where Ganga was released on earth by Lord Shiva from his hair, as per his boon to Bhagiratha.
The temple was built by Amar Singh Thapa, a general from Nepal. After completing the char dham yatra Gangotri you can visit important places nearby. The Gangotri National Park is located nearby and you can pay a visit and spot the famous snow leopard. If you are interested in trekking, you can visit Kedartal from where you can get amazing views of the Himalayas.
