“Ek Dham” refers to a pilgrimage journey that includes visits to two of the four sacred Char Dham sites in Uttarakhand, India. This option allows pilgrims to experience the spiritual and scenic beauty of two of these important shrines without committing to the full Char Dham Yatra, which covers all four.
The Ek Dham Yatra focuses on a single shrine among the Char Dham—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, or Badrinath. It’s an opportunity for pilgrims to experience the spiritual essence and natural beauty of one sacred site without committing to the full Char Dham pilgrimage.
