DO DHAM Yatra to Kedarnath & Badrinath
Rs./Person
The Do Dham Yatra is one of the most spiritually significant pilgrimages in India, combining two of Hinduism's holiest shrines — Kedarnath and Badrinath — set amidst the majestic Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. 'Do' means two, and 'Dham' refers to a divine abode, making this a twin-shrine yatra that holds deep religious meaning for millions of devotees each year. Kedarnath, perched at an altitude of 3,583 metres above sea level, is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, while Badrinath, situated at 3,300 metres, is the holy abode of Lord Vishnu and one of the four Char Dham sites. Together, they represent the two supreme forces of creation and dissolution in Hindu philosophy. A Do Dham tour package from Dehradun covers the complete journey across mountain highways, alpine forests, and sacred river valleys — including stopovers at Yamunotri and Gangotri en route — offering pilgrims a spiritually enriching and scenically breathtaking experience. The yatra season opens in May on auspicious muhurta dates and closes in November before the winter snowfall seals the Himalayan passes. Whether you are a first-time devotee or a seasoned yatri, a well-structured Do Dham package ensures every aspect of this sacred journey — from registration and transport to accommodation and darshan — is seamlessly taken care of.
