Char Dham Yatra is a spiritual journey that holds great significance in the Hindu religion. Every year, millions of devotees embark on this yatra to seek the blessings of the divine. If you are planning to undertake this pilgrimage in 2023, here are some essential details to help you plan your journey.
Start and End Dates:
