About the Tour Package

Yatra Veda’s Chardham Yatra Tour Package offers a unique opportunity to visit four of the most revered Hindu shrines in India: Badrinath, Dwarka, Jagannath Puri, and Rameshwaram. Designed for both spiritual fulfilment and cultural exploration, this 5-day itinerary ensures that you experience the divine essence of each destination with utmost comfort and convenience.

About the Chardham Shrines

The Chardham shrines—Badrinath, Dwarka, Jagannath Puri, and Rameshwaram—hold immense spiritual significance for Hindus. Each temple represents a cardinal direction and is dedicated to a major deity: Badrinath to Lord Vishnu, Dwarka to Lord Krishna, Jagannath Puri to Lord Jagannath, and Rameshwaram to Lord Shiva. Together, they symbolize the journey towards moksha (liberation).
