When I booked my Do Dham Yatra Package with Gangotri Travels, I had no idea how deeply this journey would touch my heart. Visiting both Kedarnath Dham and Badrinath Dham had always been a dream, but living it was an experience beyond words. In this blog, I share my personal travel story of the Kedarnath Ji Yatra Package and Badrinath Ji Yatra Package, while also giving practical details for anyone planning their Kedarnath and Badrinath Dham Yatra in 2025.
What is the Do Dham Yatra Package?
The Do Dham Yatra Package usually refers to a
pilgrimage tour covering Kedarnath and Badrinath, two of the most
sacred shrines in Uttarakhand. While the Char
Dham Yatra covers four sites, the Do Dham Yatra focuses on these
two powerful dhams, making it more manageable for those with limited time while
still experiencing immense spiritual fulfillment.
- Kedarnath
Dham Yatra → Dedicated to Lord Shiva, nestled in the Garhwal
Himalayas.
- Badrinath
Dham Yatra → Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, located along the banks of the
Alaknanda River.
For me, the Do Dham Yatra Package was not just about
temples, but about the journey itself—mountains, rivers, chants, and the raw
beauty of Uttarakhand.
My Journey: From Kedarnath to Badrinath
Kedarnath Ji Yatra Package Experience
The trek to Kedarnath Dham began early morning from
Gaurikund. The route was challenging, with steep climbs, narrow paths, and cold
winds. But every chant of “Har Har Mahadev” gave me strength. By the time I
reached the temple, surrounded by snow-covered peaks, I felt a peace I had
never experienced before.
Badrinath Ji Yatra Package Experience
The road to Badrinath Dham was more comfortable, with
scenic drives along the Alaknanda River. The colorful town welcomed us with
prayer bells, and the temple of Lord Vishnu stood tall amidst the Neelkanth
mountain backdrop. Watching evening aarti at Badrinath filled me with gratitude.
