Staying at the Luxury Hotels in Chardham, India

‘Chardham’ (meaning four abodes in Hindi) refers to the four pilgrimages that are revered by the ‘Hindus’ the most and they include Badrinath (Kedarnath and surrounding regions), Dwarka, Rameshwaram and Jagannath Puri. Over the years, people have believed and construed it that the four abodes of God are all in Badrinath, Kedarnath and surrounding regions, which was earlier known as ‘chota (meaning little) char dham’. These places too are of great significance as it was the place where Adi Shankaracharya attained Nirvana or freedom from embodiment. Both Badrinath and Kedarnath are located in the Garhwal hills of the Himalayas and are visited by thousands of devotees each year.

How to book a Chardham hotel?

Chardham hotels are hotels that have a presence in all the four pilgrimages. You can make a reservation once (instead of four separate reservations) and you would be availed with rooms for the respective pilgrimages. Moreover, the reservation can be done online, thus saving you a lot of time and also the hassles of dealing with an agent. Most of these online bookings have a discount on them and have additional offers associated with them too.

For most of them who wish to send their parents on this journey it would be a convenient option to book such a Chardham hotel in advance, as it would ensure a trouble-free and well-arranged journey for their parents. Most of the hotels also offer additional facilities of tours or pilgrimage visits at nominal charges so that the visitors do not have to bear any inconvenience looking out for places.
