The Dodham Yatra 2024 starts in May this yatra has to be completed once in everyone’s life to get a proper salvation.
The significance of the Dodham Yatra for everyone !!!​
Shri Adi Shankaracharya started the Uttarakhand Dodham yatra. The literal meaning of this Yatra is to visit four different holy destinations and devote oneself to God. The Chardham Yatra tour package consists of four places:  Kedarnath, and Badrinath. It is estimated that more than 200,000 worshipers visit Uttarakhand Chardham Yatra annually. Many people are not having the privilege of going on this tour. The ones who cannot go for the Badrinath tour state that they are not the chosen ones. But the reality is that they do not have the best Chardham packages with them. There is no need for a delay as most of these places are to visit at the perfect time of the year which starts in May 2024. The place is filled with a thick snow layer and the atmosphere is also not accurate. But this is the only time of the year that has the power to make the prayers and devotion reach the ears of God. All the places have their own significance and powers instated in them.

He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhmaheshwar, and his locks (hair) with head at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four shrines mentioned above are treated as Panch Kedar.
