The Char Dhams, or four pilgrimages, are very important for the devout Hindus. These four places of pilgrimage are at Gangotri at the place where the sacred River Ganges starts her journey, Yamunotri at the starting point of the River Yamuna, Badrinath, the temporal abode of Lord Vishnu and Kedarnath, the abode of Lord Shiva.
Previously, the conditions of stay were very tough for the pilgrims. Today, thanks to the improved roads and the Char Dham hotels, one can stay in comfort while being on the Chardham pilgrimage. The Chardham hotels have been created keeping the comfort of the pilgrims in mind.
However, bearing in mind the ecological conditions that are imperative in such fragile areas, no attempt has been spared and luxury tents have been provided for accommodation. These luxury tents are better in terms of accommodation compared to any other place one may decide to stay while on pilgrimage.
The accommodation at the Char Dham hotels provides a warm and comfortable environment for the tired pilgrim. These are all weather tents with attached baths and toilets with running hot & cold water. Excellent food is served daily at these fine hotels by way of wholesome meals in regional cuisines that include a range of flavors.
Hot water bottles are made available to the pilgrims to keep them warm. Umbrellas are provided for those heading for Kedarnath and all assistance is made available for shrine visit besides arrangements for either the pony or the palanquin. Pilgrims can avail all of these facilities to keep themselves at optimum comfort.
