Uttarakhand, often called “Devbhoomi” or the ”Land of God,” is a state located in the northern region of India. It is the land where every corner whispers the story of devotion and mythology. The foggy mountains, winding rivers, dense forests, and valleys cover the state. It is home to Char Dham, the four holiest sites in Hinduism: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Many believe that you should do the Char Dham yatra in a clockwise direction. Start from Gangotri, then go to Yamunotri. After that, go from Kedarnath to Badrinath.
