Devoted Hindus regularly go on pilgrimages all over India.

There are four pilgrimages in Uttarakhand in India that are particularly attractive for devout Hindus.

These pilgrimages are known as Char Dham Yatra or the tour to the four holy pilgrimages.

Yamunotri or the origin of the river Yamuna. Badrinath or the abode of Lord Vishnu
