Literally the 'Gateway to God', Haridwar is where the River Ganga

descends to the plains from the Himalayas. The ghats are where most of
the religious activity is centred and are teeming with people. Popular also
with foreign tourists seeking the experience of 'spiritual India', Haridwar is
famous for its Ayurvedic therapies and herbal healing.
Thousands gather at Har ki Paudi every evening to partake in the ritual
where the air resounds with gongs, drums and chanting and priests coax
hypnotic sounds out of conch shells, all reaching a crescendo. Later, a
myriad diyas and marigold flowers float in the waters. A breathtaking sight
Set at an elevation of 1,352 mtr above sea level, Uttarkashi is an important
pilgrimage destination for Hindus. The picturesque town, situated on the
banks of Bhagirathi River, also draws adventure seekers in large numbers.
Uttarkashi is home to several temples and ashrams, with Lord Vishwanath
Temple being the most important. Other noted temples of the town are
Gyaneshwar Temple, Bhairav Temple and Ekadash Rudra Temple. Every
year on the occasion of Magh Mela' (January 14), devotees visit the town to
take a holy dip in Bhagirathi River.
Guptakashi is one of the most vital places of pilgrimage according to Hindu
religion as it houses the Lord Shiva Lingam, which was brought from
Kashivishweshwar Temple in Varanasi. Besides a pilgrimage centre,
Guptakashi is a beautiful and quiet town surrounded by the majestic
Himalayas.
Kedarnath is supposed to be one of the twelve 'Jyotirlings' of Lord Shiva.
Located at the head of river Mandakini, Kedarnath is a pilgrimage centre for
Hindus. According to Hindu legend, the Pandavas were seeking blessings
from Lord Shiva after the Mahabharata war. He eluded them and fled to
Kedarnath, where they followed him. To disguise himself, he took the form
of a bull. He dived into the earth to escape them, leaving his hump back.
This protrusion is now worshipped as the holy shrine of Kedarnath
Badrinath is a paradise for nature lovers. Home to the Neelkanth Peak of
the Char Dham, Badrinath is guarded on either side by twomountains, Nar
and Narayan. The Badrinath Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu faces the
Alaknanda River and has a hot water spring known as ‘Tapt Kund',
famed to have medicinal properties.
Besides its religious significance, the Badrinath Temple is an architectural
splendour. The three parts of the temple - Garbha Grih, Darshan Mandap
and Sabha Mandap are designed with the precision of a genius.
