Winter Char Dham Circuit – A Divine Journey Through the Winter Abodes of the Himalayan Gods
Experience the Spiritual Essence of Char Dham Even When the High Himalayas Close for Winter
When the mighty Himalayas are covered in snow and the routes to the Char Dham temples—Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri—close for the winter season, the spiritual journey does not end. Instead, it continues through the sacred Winter Char Dham Circuit, where the deities are ceremoniously shifted to their winter abodes.
This special circuit offers devotees a unique opportunity to seek blessings in a serene, crowd-free, and spiritually charged environment. The winter seats are easily accessible, well-preserved, and carry the same divine power and purity as their original shrines.
Nagarjuna Travels invites you to experience this deeply spiritual journey with comfort, care, and expert-guided arrangements.
What is the Winter Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra Circuit?
The Winter Char Dham Circuit consists of four holy temples that become the winter residences for the revered deities of the Char Dham:
1) Omkareshwar Temple, Ukhimath (Winter Seat of Kedarnath)
During winter, the idol of Baba Kedarnath is shifted from the Himalayan shrine to Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath. Nestled amid snow-capped peaks and ancient forests, Ukhimath holds immense spiritual significance and offers devotees a peaceful atmosphere for darshan.
2) Narsingh Temple, Joshimath (Winter Seat of Badrinath)
When heavy snowfall closes Badrinath Temple, Lord Badri Vishal resides in Sri Narsingh Temple at Joshimath. This temple is also connected to the prophecy of the next Yuga, adding mystical importance to every visit. The winter rituals here are performed with great devotion and purity.
3) Ganga Temple, Mukhba (Winter Seat of Gangotri)
Located near Harsil, the quaint village of Mukhba becomes the winter abode for Goddess Ganga. The Ganga Temple shines like a jewel during winter, surrounded by pine forests and the soothing sound of the Bhagirathi River. It is one of the most peaceful locations in the entire Char Dham region.
4) Yamuna Temple, Khushimath (Winter Seat of Yamunotri)
During winter, the idol of Goddess Yamuna is carried to Khushimath, a spiritually significant village near Kharsali. The Yamuna Temple here is calm, beautiful, and perfect for seeking blessings without the challenges of the snow-covered Yamunotri trek.
