About This Trip

The journey covers all four holy shrines: Yamunotri (source of River Yamuna), Gangotri (origin of River Ganga), Kedarnath (one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva), and Badrinath (abode of Lord Badri Vishal). Along the way, pilgrims pass through ancient temples, natural hot springs, lush Himalayan valleys, and scenic river confluences — each carrying deep spiritual significance. The yatra includes a dedicated E-Yatra Pass, private vehicle throughout, and daily breakfast and dinner (except Kedarnath).
