Embark on the sacred Do Dham Yatra — a divine pilgrimage to Kedarnath and Badrinath, two of Uttarakhand’s most revered shrines. This 6-day journey curated by AAIFLY combines spiritual devotion with the natural splendor of the Himalayas. From the snow-capped peaks surrounding Kedarnath, the abode of Lord Shiva, to the tranquil banks of the Alaknanda River at Badrinath, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, each moment of this pilgrimage is a step toward inner peace and enlightenment.
Experience darshan at Kedarnath Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, attend the evening aarti at Badrinath, and traverse through picturesque mountain routes like Chopta – Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand. With serene accommodations, scenic drives, and spiritual energy at every stop, this yatra is a perfect blend of faith, beauty, and tranquility.
