Char Dham means Four Dhams i.e. Four religious places. Char Dham in Uttarakhand is a collective term used for religious circuit covering the Holy Hindu pilgrimage centers of Badarinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. This is considered as a most sacred religious place to be visited by Hindus, to get rid of their sins and pave the path to the ultimate goal of human life - the Moksha, ie redemption from the cycle of birth & death in this world. Every Hindu is expected to perform the Yatra at least once in their lifetime. There is no restriction on visiting the temples for Foreigners, Women, etc., Nor is there any strict Dress code, even though pilgrims are advised to dress decently. Pilgrims performing the Char Dham yatra are also requested not to use Polythene bags, to preserve the sanctity of the temples and conserve the environment.
All four temple shrines are located in the Garhwal Himalayas range of Uttarakhand. Haridwar is the traditional point to start Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand. Haridwar is in the plains and easily accessible by Road and Train from other locations of India, including New Delhi. It is also accessible by road from Dehradun, which has Airport. So, Pilgrims can fly to Dehradun from Delhi and other locations in India and then proceed to Haridwar by Road travel.
