Chardham Yatra the hills and mountains of Uttarakhand Dev Bhoomi come
alive as soon as the Chardham Yatra begins. The Chota Chardham Yatra is
one of the most popular spiritual journeys in India. Thousands of
thousands of devotees from far and wide step on the holy land of the
God-land to see their worship. Chardham means – four adorable, and they
are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Every year the gates
of temples open in the presence of Vedic hymns, chants, and the presence
of thousands of devotees, which remain open for devotees for the next
six months.
Why is Chardham Yatra so
popular?
According to Hindu mythology, if
a person travels to Chardham once in his lifetime, he is freed from all the
sins he had committed in his past and attains salvation after death.
The second reason is – in earlier days, every parent had a dream to
take their children on pilgrimage, and it is said to take their parents
on Chardham Yatra as much as religiously pious work, and Nothing can
happen. Therefore even today people take Chardham Yatra to fulfill the
wishes of their parents.
The third reason is – these four pilgrimage centers are in the
Garhwal region of Uttarakhand which is surrounded by a thick layer of
snow and an attractive environment. The natural environment, herbs, and
greenery make all disease-free; And by meditating on this place, life is
prolonged. This was the reason, that our ancient sage (sage-sage) lived
for hundreds of years.

follows a specific succession. The Chardham Yatra always starts from
Yamunotri Dham and ends at Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath Dham.
Yamunotri Dham – Shikhar Travels
1. Yamunotri Dham
Yamunotri Dham is the place where devotees go first in their Char
Dham Yatra. This Dham is dedicated to the goddess Yamuna who was the
daughter of Surya and the twin sister of Yama (Yamaraja). This Dham is
situated on the banks of the river Yamuna, originating from the Kalind
mountain. According to mythology – Once on the day of Bhaiya Dooj,
Yamaraja promised Goddess Yamuna that whoever dived in the river would
not be taken to Yamlok and thus would attain salvation. And perhaps this
is the reason that Yamunotri Dham comes first among the four Dharmas.
People believe that bathing in the holy water of Yamuna eliminates
all sins and protects against untimely-painful death. The doors of the
temple are closed due to the winter months becoming inaccessible and the
idol/emblem of Goddess Yamuna is brought to Kharsali village in
Uttarkashi and the statue of Mata Yamunotri is kept in the Shani Dev
temple for the next six months.

After Yamunotri, the next major
Dham in Chardham Yatra is Gangotri Dham. The sanctuary is committed to the
Goddess Ganga which is arranged on the banks of the waterway Bhagirathi in
Uttarkashi locale of Uttarakhand. The Ganges River is the holiest and longest
waterway in India. The Gomukh icy mass is the genuine wellspring of the
Ganges/Bhagirathi stream a ways off of 19 km from the Gangotri sanctuary.
Gangotri Dham is supposed to be where Goddess Ganga originally slipped from
paradise following 1000 years of atonement by Bhagiratha.
According to legends, Goddess Ganga was ready to come to the earth,
but its intensity was such that the whole earth could sink under its
water. To save the earth, Lord Shiva took the Ganges river in his jata
and released the river Ganga to the earth as a stream and became known
as the Bhagirathi river. The Ganges river got its name at Devprayag, the
confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers.
Each year in winter, the doors of
Gangotri Dham are closed on the auspicious occasion of Govardhan Puja and the
inscriptions of Mother Ganga are brought from Gangotri to Mukhaba village of
Harsil town and remain the same for the next six months.

The third major pilgrimage in
Chardham Yatra is Kedarnath Dham. Kedarnath Dham is in the rundown of 12 Jyotirlingas
and is the main sanctuary in Panch-Kedar. This Dham is situated in the lap of
the Himalayas and near the banks of the Mandakini River which was built by
Adi-Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD.
According to legends, after the great battle of Kurukshetra, the
Pandavas wanted to get rid of the sin of fratricide and to get rid of
these sins they started searching for Shiva. But Lord Shankar did not
want to give darshan to the Pandavas, so they migrated from there and
settled in Kedar. Looking for them, they reached the Himalayas. To hide
from the Pandavas, Shiva transformed himself into an ox and disappeared
on the ground. But Bhima recognizes that the bull is none other than
Shiva and he immediately catches the back part of the bull. For fear of
being caught, the bull disappears into the ground and reappears at five
different places – it is believed that when Lord Shankar appeared as a
bull, the top of his torso is revealed in Kathmandu. Hua (now known as
Pashupatinath Temple), Shiva’s arms appeared in Tungnath, Mukha
Rudranath, Navel Madmaheshwar and Jata Kalpeshwar.
After Diwali, the shrines of the
temple are closed in winter and the idol of Shiva is taken to the Omkareshwar

Fata / Gaurikund etc. (Helicopter to Chardham Yatra) Travel Route – Rudraprayag – Guptkashi – Fata-
4. Badrinath Dham
The fourth and final Dham of
Chardham Yatra is Badrinath Dham. Over 10 lakh devotees visit the Badrinath
temple every year. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu which is situated on
the banks of the river Alaknanda between Mount Nar and Narayan. It is the only
Dham that is part of both Chardham and Chota Chardham.
Inside the Badrinath temple,
there is a 1 meter tall black stone idol of Lord Vishnu surrounded by other
deities. It is believed that the idol of Lord Vishnu located here is one of the
8 Swayambhu or self-styled Kshetra idol, which was founded by Adi Shankara.
According to the legend – Lord Vishnu once sought a
quiet place for meditation and was doing this place and came to this
place. Here Lord Vishnu became so engrossed in his meditation that he
did not even realize the extreme cold weather. Therefore, to protect
herself from this season, Goddess Lakshmi transformed herself into a
Badri tree (also known as jujube). Impressed by her devotion to Goddess
Lakshmi, Lord Vishnu named the place “Badrikashram”.

With fascinating and unique landscapes, Ladakh in North India is home
to many beautiful high peaks of the Himalayas. This region is an
impeccable and the most desirable place to visit which has high
mountains going beyond 7000 m altitude. It has mesmerizing barren land
and snow-capped mountains which are still less explored by people.
From Zanskar to Karakoram Himalayan range, there are many famous
peaks in this region that can and cannot be scaled. Here, most of the
peaks require special permissions from the home ministry of India or
from the mountaineering federation. These are quite challenging and
located near disrupted region but still, there are many which can be
scaled easily. It can be someone’s first attempt at trekking where a
person can experience 6000 m plus peak with challenges but less
technical ones.
Here are some top and famous peaks from Ladakh:
Mount Nun: The
famous majestic mountain massif of Mount Nun- Kun where the higher one,
Mount Nun (7135 m) is the most admired mountain but difficult to scale.
It is located on borderline (LOC) in the Indian Territory of Suru
Valley in the Kargil district. Because of technicality and risk, this
peak is climbed by very few people.
Mount Kun:
The second highest of the mountain massif Mount Nun-Kun, Mount Kun has
an elevation of 7087 m. This climbing expedition located in Suru Valley,
right next to Mount Nun. These mountains may look nearer visually but
have completely different routes to trek including different base camps.
This trek is quite challenging but do-able. People prefer doing this
expedition post-monsoon for better and clearer weather.
Mount Pinnacle:
In this group of Nun-Kun mountain Massif, the third-highest peak is Mt
Pinnacle with an elevation of 6930 meters. The route and technicalities
are the same as for Mount Kun. It is better to attempt this expedition
in early summers than later as the snow is less harsh to walk.
Mount Kang Yatze I & II:
Located in Hemis National Park in Markha Valley, the twin summit peak
of Mt Kang Yatze I (6496 m) & Mt Kang Yatze II (6270 m) is a
captivating trek of two peaks. Usually, trekkers choose to climb Kang
Yatze II more than Kang Yatze I as the higher ones in the east is
comparatively difficult to scale because of edgy traverses
Mount Mentok Kangri I, II & III: This beautiful massif of three summits of Mt Mentok Kangri
(6250 m, 6150 m & 6210 m) overlooks mesmerizing Tso Moriri in the
remote area of Rupsu valley. The routes here are quite tough but with
standard technical knowledge of fixing ropes and balancing on snow
slopes.
Mount Stok Kangri: With a magnificent view of
Zanskar and Indus valley, Mount Stok Kangri (6153 m) is one of the most
attractive treks for adventure lovers. It lies in Hemis National Park
with a trailhead in a remote village Stok.
NOTE:- Mount Stok Kangri peak is temporarily closed for trekking and climbing from 2020 by related government authorities
Mount Dzo Jongo: Markha Valley is home to this beautiful twin summit peak, Mount Dzo Jongo (6218 m)
which quite near to Kang Yatse peaks. This climbing expedition is quite
less technical than the near ones but tough as the trail is steep.
Chamster Kangri & Lamster Kangri: The
panoramic view of Tso Moriri Lake from this twin summit peak, Chamster
Kangri (6620 m) & Lamster Kangri (6660 m) is a perfect visual treat
to adventure lovers. These are among the most popular Kangri peaks of
this region. It is often preferred by trekkers in the months of June,
July and August. Both the summits share the same base camps
Matho Kangri: One
of the quite new popular peaks, Matho Kangri is located in Zanskar
Valley and named after its nearby village Matho. It has an elevation of
approx 6000 m which is quite challenging to scale but the picturesque
view will definitely heal all. The trek starts from the famous Hemis
Monastery region which is usually considered to start in the months of
July, August, and September.
Ladakh has a never-ending list of alluring peaks but as mentioned
only some are scalable and have fewer formalities from the authorities.
Below are some famous peaks which lie in the fascinating region of
Siachen. These peaks are known to be the highest in the region but need
special permissions from the government of India: –
Mount Trishul expedition:-
The picturesque landscape of the Gharwal region is home to many famous
Himalayan peaks that attracted many mountaineers over the years and
Mount Trishul is one of them. Standing high with an altitude of 7120 m,
Trishul is a group of three peaks, Trishul I, Trishul II, and Trishul III run
north to south where Trishul I is the highest with 7120 m, then 6690 m
and 6007 m respectively. These three peaks together form the shape of a
trident that is why it is named after the trident/Trishul of Lord Shiva
in Hindi.
Located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, the climbing
expedition to Mt Trishul is quite tough that needs technical skill and
knowledge but breathtakingly beautiful. Every year many trekking
enthusiasts attempt to climb this peak. All of them have prior
experiences of 6000 m and above peaks. Usually, people consider July,
August, and September as the best time period to trek on this route. But
during that time also prefer to check the weather forecast in advance
as the heart-warming view from the summit should not be missed.
Mt Trishul 1 7120 M – Shikhar Travels
The trek to this alluring peak starts from Sutol village which can be
reached via car/taxi from Rishikesh. If your trek is booked with
Shikhar Travels then the itinerary will include every transport and stay
right from the arrival in Delhi till the departure. The initial 5 days
trek will be targeted to reach the base camp passing Tatara village,
Latakopri, and Homkund. These places will have pre-set Shikhar camps by
the team of overnight stays along with the meals.
MT TRISHUL- I EXPEDITION (7120 M)- Shikhar Travels
The trek to Mount Trishul Peak
is a favorite among nature lovers as the trek passes through beautiful
meadows that are surrounded by high snow-covered mountains. There will
be water streams to cross and majorly there will be possible chances of
witnessing unique Himalayan wildlife especially musk deer. It is a
fascinating experience that one can ever have.
Mount Trishul Expedition-Shikhar Travels
After reaching base camp at Homkund, trekkers prefer to keep days for
acclimatization as it is the most important thing to do. Here team
leaders usually add small hikes to nearby high places and some technical
practices like using tools or guiding of emergency situations. The
trail goes from tough to tougher as the ascending trail shifts from the
loose rocky surface to the glacier to the snow trail which is quite
difficult to walk. These coming days after the acclimatization, the
group will move forward to the ABC (Advanced Base Camp) then gradually
further to Camp 1 site setting up the ropes and moping the direction and
likewise for camp 2.
Mt Trishul I Expedition 7120M
Finally, the day comes for the last climb to the summit for the
height of 7120 m. The trail might look easy slope to climb but it’s not,
rather it is much tiring as one needs to conserve energy while moving
up. The air is pretty cold and strong here and clouds keep moving
around. Here you can see the spectacular view of Himalayan ranges where
most of them will be at a lower altitude than yours. With the help of
ropes, anchors, and crampons you’ll move ahead from the west ridge. The
wind here is so strong that it carries snow with it as it does during
storms. But, lastly reaching at the top of the summit will give immense
satisfaction. Peaks like Nanda Ghunti, Mrigthuni, and a wide range of
Himalayas offer an impeccable view from this height.
Mt Trishul Mountain Peak-Shikhar Travels
After this successful attempt, it will be time to head back to the
camps. Gradually with proper rest, the group will head to camps then
over the days to ABC and then base camp. As ascend on this trail is
difficult to descend is also equally difficult. But once you reach base
camp then reaching Latakopri and Sutol Village will be easy and less
time-consuming. The transport at the village will be arranged by Shikhar Travels which will further take you to your departure destination.
