Why the Order Matters: Yamunotri → Gangotri → Kedarnath → Badrinath

There’s a reason for this clockwise sequence—known as Parikrama. Starting with Yamunotri, followed by Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath, this order aligns with traditional Hindu beliefs and allows for smoother altitude adjustment.

This route gradually takes you from lower to higher altitudes, reducing chances of altitude sickness.
