Char Dham Opening & Closing Dates 2023

Chardham Yatra takes you to the four revered Dham of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath cradled amid the sky-touching, snow-wrapped peaks of Uttarakhand. The Yatra to Chardham follows a definite time span and has a fixed opening and closing date every year. The Yatra season of the Chardham is very much influenced by the weather conditions prevailing in the high Himalayas and seasonal variations in weather.

Generally each year the Chardham Yatra opens on the auspicious Muharat of Akshaya Tritiya that falls in the Hindu month of Vaishakh; i.e. around the months April-May, and closes on the sacred day of Diwali that falls in the Hindu month of Kartik; i.e. around the months of October-November. On the opening day the Kapat or door of the four Chardham main shrines are thrown open only to receive a flood of pilgrims who wait eagerly outside the Kapat of the temples to have their first Darshan of the year.

On the closing day of the Yatra the idols of the presiding deities in the four main Chardham shrines are shifted with much pomp and grandeur to their winter abodes at a lower altitude and the doors of the main shrines are shut down for the wintry break.
