Itinerary
The journey begins early in the morning from Haridwar, passing through scenic towns such as Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Joshimath. Along the way, you will witness the confluence of rivers and stunning mountain landscapes. A lunch stop is scheduled at Rudraprayag before continuing the drive towards Badrinath. Upon arrival, check into a hotel and freshen up before proceeding for darshan at the revered Badrinath Temple. Before entering the temple, devotees take a holy dip in the Tapt Kund, a natural hot spring believed to have medicinal properties. The evening aarti at Badrinath Temple is a mesmerizing experience filled with devotion and spiritual energy. After seeking blessings, return to the hotel for an overnight stay.
At 4:30 AM, the Maha Abhishek Pooja is conducted in the temple, which devotees can attend for a divine start to the day. After the morning darshan, return to the hotel for breakfast and check out.

Here, you can explore fascinating sites like Bheem Pul, a natural stone bridge believed to have been placed by Bheem from the Mahabharata, and the ancient Vyasa and Ganesh Caves, where sage Vyasa is said to have composed the Mahabharata. After exploring these historical and spiritual locations, the journey proceeds to Rudraprayag, where you will check into a hotel, enjoy dinner, and rest for the night.
