Шаблон:Short description The Char Dham of Nepal (Шаблон:Lang-ne) is a set of four Hindu religious sites in Nepal. They are Pashupat Kshetra, Mukti Kshetra, Ruru Kshetra and Baraha Kshetra.[1][2][3]

Nestled at the convergence of the Koka and Koshi rivers in Barahakshetra, Sunsari, within Nepal's Koshi Province, Barahachhetra stands as a revered pilgrimage site interwoven with Hindu and Kirat traditions. Also known as Barahakshetra or Varahakshetra, this sacred locale boasts a rich history chronicled in revered Puranas like the Brahma Purana, Varaha Purana, and Skanda Purana, further magnified by its mention in the epic Mahabharata.

The Char Dham Yatra in Nepal transcends a mere physical journey; it is a soul-stirring odyssey through diverse landscapes—towering mountains, meandering rivers, and dense forests. Pilgrims, clad in traditional attire, traverse these sacred paths, seeking blessings, absolution, and communion with the divine.

As pilgrims progress through each sacred site, the air resonates with the sounds of bells, hymns, and the rustling of prayer flags. The Yatra is not a mere ritual; it is a profound spiritual encounter that leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those undertaking this transformative journey.

In the embrace of the Char Dham Yatra, Nepal unfolds as a tapestry of faith, culture, and natural beauty—a canvas where the spiritual and earthly converge, offering a pilgrimage that transcends the physical realm. For those seeking communion with the divine, the Char Dham Yatra in Nepal is a sacred expedition—an odyssey that etches spiritual footprints in the soul.
