Did you feel something in your heart? As you read that, we are offering a Do Dahm Yatra with Gomukh Trek from Delhi? We are hundred percent sure, you do! What you are feeling doesn’t happen frequently. But it occurs when you are stuck at your work desk in Delhi or lying in your bed at 2 am. At some point during that time an event, like the dawn that breaks over a dark horizon, will happen. It's really special, the way the universe reveals our calling to us, and only we know. Not anyone else. You will feel pulled towards the divinity. There will be a thirst within you, a thirst for something that is very old and has been waiting for you since the day you were born. There is an old saying, that says there will be an event when you have made peace with yourself that you have arrived in this life at the appropriate time, and you may not be aware of what is waiting for you. You simply know it is there.
Every year more than three million people undertake this yatra. Many opt for Char Dham yatra, while some go for Do Dham yatra. The impact is the same. People from far away lands come to this place after many difficulties. To get closer to the divinity and to seek peace.
Well, this Do Dham yatra begins from New Delhi. The capital city of India, filled with ancient as well as modern civilisation. This journey is not just an escapade, but more like endless pressures, deadlines weighing down a human soul. And the kind of tiredness that comes from living life in a city and there being no time to check in on yourself at the heart level. The road from Delhi to Gharwal Himalayas is almost 300 kms. But, the distance travelled in a pilgrim's inner landscape is beyond measure. By the time you arrive in Haridwar, you have already begun a journey inside yourself. As soon as you get a glimpse of the mountains of the Garhwal Himalayas. You will see complete snow cold towering peaks glimmering in morning sunlight. The fresh crisp air that will help you, your heart that has been closed for a long time starts to open up, first cautiously but then more confidently, to the world around you.
Delhi is the only place where at least eight civilisations have built their capitals. This city carries the weight of vast history.
Before you start your journey, you must take some time out and stroll through the old part of Delhi. You can explore the heart of the Mughal Empire, which is the huge Red Fort built from red sandstone. You must explore the bustling shopping streets of Chandni Chowk, visit the biggest courtyard of Jama Masjid, it is one of the largest mosques in India. Visit Humayun's Tomb, which by the way is a stunningly beautiful and peaceful garden. You will be amazed at how the architectural power of modern temples like Akshardham Temple rises from the banks of the Yamuna River; many first-time visitors to this temple have described stopping and staring when they see it for the first time. There is so much history in this city that it cannot be contained in museums; it is in the streets, the buildings, and the air itself, holding the combined hopes and dreams and lives of 50 generations of people who have lived in this city throughout time. A city like Delhi is hard to put into words until you have gone somewhere else far away to show you just how this city has affected you.
After your day exploring in Delhi, you will be moving to Haridwar which is 220kms from Delhi. You will witness a complete contrast from Delhi. The roads of Delhi, lead you to divinity. The trip that includes the Gaumukh trek and the Do Dham yatra, which starts in New Delhi, is far more than just a trip that starts in New Delhi. It is part of a trip to New Delhi. You can think of it as a prelude. Seekers feel the pressure or feel tensed that the beginning of this journey is located in New Delhi. But, well that's the beauty of it. The burden that you will be relieved of by the mountains, when you arrive at your destination will have been created in New Delhi. You will find New Delhi one of the most beautiful starting points on earth. Starting from the plains to the mountains is just surreal. This journey ascends through Haridwar where you come across the River Ganga and the Rishikesh which is the yoga capital of India. The opportunity to witness ganga arti is unmissable, the entire place place is brightly lit each evening by ten thousand floating candles over many generations, and the particular type of silence at Rishikesh is different from any silence that can be experienced at New Delhi; it is deeper and more alive than any other.
Do Dham Yatra With Gomukh Trek is calling you if you are tired of city chaos. This incredible pilgrimage that is waiting with open arms to welcome those whose hearts are burdened by heavy loads for far too long. Devotees and seekers who opt for this trip from Delhi to the holy glacier are left with a very deep impression. As humans, we go through many difficulties in our hearts, and the people who took this trip find peace in their hearts just by reminiscing about it. As they suddenly recall the air of the glacier and the quiet of the mountains when they are in an ordinary Delhi afternoon. All of these moments have renewed their perspective and revealed to them the difference between things that are really big and things that are really small. The mountains put something into you. You get to experience four major encounters. Kedarnath breaks you open. Badrinath makes you feel whole. Gangotri purifies your body and soul and Gaumukh returns you to the source.
