The official Char Dham Opening Date 2026 marks the beginning of the sacred pilgrimage season in Uttarakhand. Every year, the opening dates of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath temples are announced on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri or Basant Panchami.
As per temple committee announcements:
The temple priests calculate the opening muhurat based on Hindu calendar traditions. The portals (kapat) open after winter closure when the deities are brought back from their winter seats.
All pilgrims must complete biometric registration before starting the yatra. You can read the complete Uttarakhand Char Dham Yatra Guide for step-by-step details.
The months of May and June witness heavy pilgrim footfall. If you prefer less crowd, September and early October are ideal months.
