The Char Dham Yatra is one of India’s most revered pilgrimages, involving visits to the sacred temples of Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri nestled in the high altitudes of Uttarakhand. Traditionally undertaken via a lengthy and arduous road journey, this pilgrimage often requires several days of travel, making it challenging for many devotees, especially the elderly or those with limited time.
