Overview
Uttarakhand, also known as Devbhoomi or the Land of Gods, is home to numerous temples and welcomes devotees all year round. Among the countless religious sites and circuits that devotees visit in Uttarakhand, one of the most prominent is the Char Dham Yatra. This Yatra or pilgrimage is a tour of four holy sites - Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath – nestled high up in the Himalayas. In Hindi, 'char' means four and 'dham' refers to religious destinations. The highaltitude shrines remain shut for around six months every year, opening in summers (April or May) and closing with the onset of winter (October or November). It is believed that one should complete the Char Dham Yatra in a clockwise direction. Hence, the pilgrimage starts from Yamunotri, proceeds towards Gangotri, onto Kedarnath, and finally ends at Badrinath. The journey can be completed by road or by air (helicopter services are available). Some devotees even do a Do Dham Yatra or a pilgrimage to two shrines - Kedarnath and Badrinath. The

- Do not underestimate the expertise and guidelines of rafting guides. Understand the rafting techniques and river rapids. Listen to them properly and act as advised to enhance the joy of river rafting even more.
- If you are a starter, you may not be aware about the difference between a paddle and oar rafts. Rafting along the advanced level rapids, you may need to use techniques like jumping to the high side of the raft (highsiding), keeping the raft straight and riding the raft again if it capsizes.
- It is always advisable to select a rafting stretch which matches your age. Even older kids may not be allowed to go along grade IV rapids. Likewise, some rafting stretches are restricted for senior citizens. Therefore, it is essential to choose rafting trips according to your age.
