Temples to visit on Char Dham Tour
Yamunotri Temple, Uttarkashi
Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, Yamunotri Temple is located at an altitude of 3923 meters near the foot of Kalind Parbat (peak). It is the first temple that travellers visit on the Char Dham circuit. According to legends, the temple was the home of Asti Muni, an ancient sage, which makes it extremely popular amongst Hindu devotees. The main sanctum of the temple houses a black marble idol of Yamuna along with a white stone representing River Ganga. As the Yama Dwitiya (second day after Diwali or on Bhai Dooj) approaches, the temple closes its portals, and the temple authorities shift the idol to Kharsali village for the winter season. The idol is brought back to the main temple on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya (occurring in April/May), marking a grand celebration by devotees.
Gangotri Temple, Uttarkashi
Located at an altitude of 3100 meters in the Uttarkashi district, the holy abode of goddess Ganga, Gangotri is the second ‘Dham’ of the Chardham Yatra. Gaumukh Glacier, around 18 kilometres away from the temple, is the point where the River Ganges originates. It is believed that taking a bath in the freezing water of Gaumukh Glacier can relieve one from all the sins. The temple remains open for pilgrims for only six months, starting from the festival of Akshaya Tritiya till Diwali. During the winter season, the idol of Goddess Ganga is worshiped at Mukhyamath temple in Mukhba village, around 18 kilometres away from the main temple.
Kedarnath Temple, Rudraprayag
One of the 12 Jyotirlingas and an important temple of the Char Dham tour and Panch Kedars (a group of 5 Shiva temples in Garhwal Himalayas), Kedarnath Temple is sacred to Lord Shiva. To reach the temple, pilgrims have to trek for 14 km from Gauri Kund. The main sanctum of the temple (also known as Garbha Griha) houses the idol of Lord Shiva along with Lord Krishna, Pandavas, Draupadi, and Kunti. Right outside the shrine, there's a large stone statue of Nandi Bull, protecting the temple. On the 1st day of Karthik month (October/November), the main idol is shifted to Omkareshwar temple in Ukhimath (Rudraprayag district) and then welcomed back in the Vaisakh (April/May) month of Hindu calendar.
Badrinath Temple, Chamoli
One of the most important temples sacred to Lord Vishnu, Badrinath Temple is counted amongst the prominent temples of the Char Dham tour. Located at an altitude of 3,300 meters along the bank of Alaknanda River, the temple is also known for its Garhwali wooden architecture, apart from religious significance. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya founded the Saligram idol of Lord Badri immersed in the water of Alaknanda and installed the same near the Tapt Kund. The main sanctum features a black stone idol of the Lord Badrinarayan sitting in a meditative pose along with images of Nar, Narayana, Narad, Ganesha, Garud, and Kuber. During the winter season, the main idol of Badrinath is shifted to Yog Dhyan Badri in Pandukeshwar (Chamoli district).

I went char Dham yatra last month it was a great experience there. I weather was totally enjoyable and it was raining and cold. I booked tickets from Dev Dham Yatra they gave me a heavy discount on tickets even they helped me out to find a hotel there and provide me taxis for the yatra.
