Uttarakhand, also known as Devbhoomi or the Land of Gods, is home to several temples and hosts lakhs of devotees every year. The Chardham Yatra is one of the most popular pilgrimage tours in our country which includes visit to the 4 ancient shrines - Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. It is believed that one should complete the Chardham Yatra in clockwise direction.
