DEHRADUN | KEDARNATH | BADRINATH
Uttarakhand, also known as Dev Bhoomi or the Land of Gods, is home to numerous temples and welcomes devotees all year round. Among the countless religious sites and circuits that devotees visit in Uttarakhand, one of the most prominent is the Char Dham Yatra. This Yatra or pilgrimage is a tour of four holy sites - Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kadar Nath and Badrinath – nestled high up in the Himalayas. In Hindi, 'char' means four and 'Dham' refers to religious destinations.
The high-altitude shrines remain shut for around six months every year, opening in summers (April or May) and closing with the onset of winter (October or November). It is believed that one should complete the Char Dham Yatra in a clockwise direction. Hence, the pilgrimage
starts from Yamunotri, proceeds towards Gangotri, onto Kedarnath, and finally ends at Badrinath. The journey can be completed by road or by air (helicopter services are available). Some devotees even do a Do Dham Yatra or a pilgrimage to two shrines - Kedarnath and Badrinath.
The Yamunotri temple, lodged in a narrow gorge close to the source of River Yamuna (the second-most sacred Indian river after River Ganga) in Uttarkashi district, is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. The district of Uttarkashi is also home to Gangotri dedicated to Goddess Ganga, the most sacred of all Indian rivers. Located in the Rudra Prayag district lies Kedarnath, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Badrinath, home to the sacred Badri Narayan Temple, is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Char Dham Yatra is as divine as it is arduous but fulfills the soul!

Dehradun is one of the oldest cities of India and has recently been declared as the Provisional Capital of newly created Uttaranchal (Now Uttarakhand) State in the month of November, 2000. Also known as the ‘Abode of Drona’, Dehradun has always been an important center for Garhwal rulers who were captured by the British. The headquarters of many National Institutes and Organizations like ONGC, Survey Of India, Forest Research Institute, Indian Institute of Petroleum etc. are located in the city. Some of the premier educational and training Institutes like Indian Military Academy, RIMC (Rashtriya Indian Military College), Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (IGNFA), Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) etc are also there in Dehradun. It is a favoured destination as it attracts tourists, pilgrims and enthusiasts from various walks of life to its serene environs. Add to this the abundance of special Basmati rice, tea and lychee gardens which contribute in turning the city into a paradise. The district is named after its chief city Dehradun. During the reign of Aurangzeb, Ram Rai, Guru of the Udasi Sikhs, on being ordered by the Mughal king to retire to the wilderness of the Dun, had pitched his tents here in what is now the Khurbura locality of the town and had also built a temple near Dhanawala. Around these two sites, grew up the town popularly known as Dehra. The term dun or doon means the lowlands at the foot of a mountain range, and as the bulk of the district lies in such a terrain, it justifies the dun part of the name.
