The weather during this time is relatively pleasant, and the roads leading to these pilgrimage sites are open for travel. However, it's essential to check weather conditions and road accessibility before planning a trip.
The Char Dham pilgrimage sites refer to four sacred Hindu pilgrimage destinations located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.
The Char Dham sites are located in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand and can be reached by road and trekking. The nearest airports to the Char Dham sites are Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport and Pantnagar Airport. From there, travelers can hire taxis or use state-run buses to reach the respective base towns for each pilgrimage site.
Accommodation options during the Char Dham yatra range from budget guesthouses to mid-range hotels and Dharamshalas (pilgrim rest houses). Many government and private accommodations are available in the base towns and along the pilgrimage routes. It's advisable to book accommodations in advance during peak pilgrimage seasons.

However, helicopter services are available for those who cannot undertake the trekking journey. Additionally, ponies, palanquins, and palkis are available for hire to assist those who require assistance during the yatra.
