Charadham: This place is the famous four holy places of Hindu Pilgrimages, which are nestled among the lofty peaks of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand. Chardham circuit consists of four sites: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath & Badrinath. It is the ultimate desire of every Hindu to visit the holy shrines at least once in a lifetime to attain salvation (Moksha). The great Hindu philosopher and reformer Adi Shankaracharya initiated the Chardham Yatra in an attempt to revive the Hindu religion. These Chardham also marks the spiritual source of four sacred rivers as well: River Yamuna (Yamunotri), River Ganga or Ganges (Gangotri), River Mandakini (Kedarnath) and River Alaknanda (Badrinath)
