Spirituai Tours

A divine journey to the sacred sources of two of India’s holiest rivers with the Yamunotri and Gangotri Yatra Package. This spiritually enriching tour takes pilgrims to the revered temples of Yamunotri and Gangotri, nestled in the pristine Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. These two shrines form an important part of the Chhota Char Dham pilgrimage and attract devotees seeking blessings, peace, and a deeper connection with nature and divinity.

Yamunotri Dham

Located at an altitude of about 3,293 meters, Yamunotri is the source of the sacred Yamuna River. The main temple here is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, revered as the sister of Yama (the god of death) and believed to bestow longevity. Pilgrims undertake a 6 km trek from Janki Chatti to reach the temple, passing through scenic routes dotted with waterfalls, dense forests, and snow-capped peaks. A holy dip in the thermal springs at Surya Kund and the darshan of the black marble idol of Goddess Yamuna make this visit spiritually fulfilling.

Gangotri Dham

Gangotri, situated at an altitude of around 3,100 meters, marks the origin of the holy Ganges River (known as Bhagirathi at the source). The Gangotri temple, built in the 18th century by Amar Singh Thapa, is dedicated to Goddess Ganga. It holds immense religious importance as it is believed that King Bhagirath meditated here to bring Ganga down to earth to purify the souls of his ancestors.
