There are journeys you take to see the world—and then there are journeys that change the way you see yourself. The Chardham Yatra from Mumbai is not just a tour—it’s an awakening of spirit that begins from the heart of Maharashtra and takes you deep into the sacred folds of the Himalayas.
It all began in the bustle of Mumbai, where the noise
of city life drowned out our inner voices. I had read about the Chardham
Yatra tour package offered by Gangotri Travels, and something about
the way they described the experience stayed with me. It wasn’t just about
travel; it was about rediscovering faith, silence, and strength in the
lap of nature.
I booked the best
Chardham Yatra package from Mumbai, packed lightly but with a heart
full of expectations.
Day 1: Departure from Mumbai – The Calling
From the moment we left Mumbai, the transformation had
already begun. The train journey to Haridwar was long but soul-stirring.
By the time we reached, the holy Ganga welcomed us with its flowing serenity. A
quick dip in the Har Ki Pauri ghat, amidst chants and diyas, was our
first real touch with the divine.
Day 2-3: Yamunotri – The Gentle Beginning
After a scenic drive to Barkot, the trek to Yamunotri
was a mixture of physical effort and emotional cleansing. We climbed narrow
pathways, crossed wooden bridges, and let the rhythm of the mountains sync with
our breath. Reaching the Yamunotri Temple, nestled near a hot water
spring, felt like reaching the sky. The aura was quiet, powerful, and humbling.
Day 4-5: Gangotri – Where the Ganga Is Born
Next was the drive to Gangotri, a journey through
steep valleys and pine-scented air. The Gangotri Temple, set beside the
roaring Bhagirathi River, was majestic and peaceful. Watching the icy
waters flow from the glacier that feeds the Ganga was a moment I will never
forget. We offered prayers, meditated under a cedar tree, and felt a strange
strength settle within us.
Day 6-7: Kedarnath – The Mountain of Shiva
No amount of preparation readied me for Kedarnath.
Whether by pony, palanquin, or on foot, the journey tested the body—but also
elevated the soul. Towering cliffs, cold winds, and chants of “Har Har
Mahadev” echoed all around. As we finally stood before the Kedarnath
Temple, wrapped in mist and reverence, I felt the mountain itself was
alive. It wasn’t just a place—it was an experience of Shiva.
For those who seek convenience and comfort, Gangotri
Travels also offers Chardham Yatra by helicopter from Mumbai, making it
easier to access these high-altitude shrines without missing the sacred energy.
Day 8-9: Badrinath – Vishnu’s Tranquil Abode
The final leg took us to Badrinath, through scenic
routes dotted with confluences like Rudraprayag and Devprayag—where
rivers meet and stories are born. The Badrinath Temple, surrounded by
snow-capped peaks, was glowing with devotion. Pilgrims lined up with folded
hands, and the chant of “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” filled the air. A
short walk to Mana Village, India’s last village, gave us a glimpse of
simple mountain life before we headed back.
