Life
in the twin towns of Haridwar and
Rishikesh pulsates with devotional
activities all year round. The towns are flooded with tourists and
pilgrims all year round and bazaars are flooded with travel and prayer
goods. These two cities also form the base of continuing the onward
journey towards the other holy shrines of Uttaranchal. Traditionally the
pilgrimage Yatra to the four shrines or Char Dham
starts from Yamunotri , perched atop
the Bandarpunch Peak and is situated opposite
Gangotri . The picturesque pilgrimage
of Gangotri is believed to be the spot where
Ganga touched the earth
for the first time. Kedarnath ,
Badrinath, Bageshwar
and Uttar Kashi are some other holy cities that are a must visit in every
pilgrimage tour.
