Forum > Travel > Which temple should be visited first in Char Dham Yatra?

Posted by Ajay Sengar on March 13, 2026

 

The traditional sequence of Char Dham Yatra starts from Yamunotri, then Gangotri, followed by Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath. This order follows the west-to-east direction and is considered the most auspicious route as per Hindu scriptures.

Yamunotri is the origin of River Yamuna, Gangotri is the source of River Ganga, Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Completing them in this sequence is believed to bring maximum spiritual merit.

Many pilgrims from Delhi plan this yatra between May and June or September and October. If you are travelling in a group, checking Delhi to Chardham tempo traveller rates is the most practical and budget-friendly option. A 9 or 12-seater tempo traveller gives you the flexibility to travel at your own pace across all four dhams comfortably.
