Char Dham Yatra- the Way to Ultimate Peace of Mind

The Char Dham Yatra refers to the pilgrimage to the four holy places in India namely Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. According to ancient Hindu mythology, it is believed to be the sojourn of our lifetime and is the only way to redeem or wash our sins. One can attain true peace of mind by taking this journey. The Char Dham Tour, organized by Leisure Hotels, is the best way to embark on a peaceful pilgrimage that’s no way devoid of the luxuries needed to keep you rejuvenated and fresh for life.

The Char Dham Yatra starts from Badrinath which is a major tourist attraction in Uttaranchal. The temple is situated at a height of 3133 meters and is worshipped as the domicile of Lord Vishnu, the creator. It is believed that the holy river Ganga starts her journey on earth from Badrinath. The place is famous for its hot water pools viz. Tapt Kund, Narad Kund etc. The prehistoric temple of Kedarnath is believed to be the holy home of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The Hindu mythology states that the blessings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati help eradicate all evils. The temple is one of the twelve shrines of Lord Shiva present in the country. Due to heavy snowfall in the winter months, it remains open only for a period of six months. The Gangotri is situated at a height of 3200 meters above sea level. The divine place is dedicated to Goddess Ganga and opens during the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya. The Yamunotri is the last place of the Char Dham Tour. It is the birth place of river Yamuna.

Enjoy Truly Worthwhile Safari Holidays in India

One of the best ways of seeing nature in the wild in India is to go on a jeep safari. Though there are other options of going on a safari such as on elephant back and on horse back, safari on jeeps, which are essentially 4WD vehicles, are preferred mainly because of some advantages that they offer over the other safari options. A safari jeep is a very versatile vehicle and yet very rugged. You can, therefore, reach otherwise inaccessible areas while on your safari. The jeep is a safe vehicle as well. A jeep safari can take you to fairly close distances of say a herd of elephants or the Royal Bengal Tiger guarding its kill, if you are lucky.

The Corbett Park in the Himalayan foothills boasts of leopards and various species of the deer and the antelope family. There are wild boars and sloth bears besides troops of monkeys of different species. There are hundreds of types of birds as well from the national bird of India, the peacock; you can also see pheasants and partridges, mynas and owls, hornbills, eagles and cormorants, flycatchers and the teals. The safari jeeps would take you to the river where you can see the Indian crocodiles, the mugger and the gharial. Then if you are in the forest area snakes are a common sight. In the Corbett you would see the King Cobra that’s a magnificent reptile besides the krait and the Russell’s viper or the python and the monitor lizard or the iguana.
