A visit to the charming Char Dham temples is not like a conventional pilgrimage but rather a memorable journey. However, owing to the rugged trail and the locations of the temples, this can be a gruelling one and evokes a sense of spirituality that must be experienced. The road trips are extremely thrilling as the rocky tracks run by a river running in parallel and the mountains stretching on the other side. The vast stretch of the glorious Himalayas is a treat to the eyes and the locations offer great scenic and panoramic views.
