Do Dham Yatra ( Yamunotri &Gangotri )
Duration: 5 Days/4 nights
Tour Description:
The Do Dham Yatra to Yamunotri and Gangotri is a sacred journey to two of the most revered sites in Hinduism, dedicated to the goddess Yamuna and the goddess Ganga, respectively. This pilgrimage takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand, allowing devotees to connect deeply with nature while seeking spiritual fulfillment.
Yamunotri is the source of the sacred Yamuna River, where devotees visit the Yamunotri Temple to offer prayers and bathe in the hot springs of Surya Kund. The temple is located at an altitude of 3,293 meters and is believed to cleanse the soul of all sins. A challenging yet rewarding trek through lush forests and scenic landscapes leads to this revered temple.
Gangotri is the origin of the River Ganga, where pilgrims visit the Gangotri Temple to offer their respects to the river that is considered the lifeline of India.
