But the best time to visit the Char Dham Yatra is from May-June and September-October. Owing to heavy snowfall in winter and extreme rainfall in monsoon, it is difficult to complete the journey during these seasons. For Hindu devotees, traveling to these temples in India is considered auspicious and mandatory at least once in a lifetime. There are three major sects in Hinduism - Shaivism, Vaishnavism, and Shaktism. The Char Dham of India consists of three Vaishnava locations (Dwarka, Badrinath, and Puri, Rameshwaram).
