As scheduled, meet our help when you arrive in Haridwar, then continue on to Guptkashi. You would pass Devprayag and Rudraprayag on your drive. Spend the night in a hotel in Sitapur or Guptkashi. We’ll rest when we get to Sitapur, Rampur, or Guptkashi. Spend the night in a hotel.

Drive to Sonprayag-Gaurikund in the morning after breakfast. On this day, most travelers who are unable to continue their journey rest at Kedarnath Ji. The 19-kilometer journey from Sonprayag is exhausting for people who are not used with frequent walking or mountain excursions. Walking techniques that involve rest, calmness, and breathing are always beneficial when finishing this type of journey. Upon arriving, Kedarnath showered and did Darshan and Pooja at Shri Kedarnath. This is where the majority of hikers to Shri Kedarnath Ji used to stay.

Kedarnath is a magnificent site, situated in the centre of a broad plateau encircled by tall, snow-capped peaks. Adi Shankaracharya constructed the current temple in the eighth century, and it is located next to an ancient Pandava temple. Figures of numerous deities and situations from mythology adorn the assembly hall’s inner walls. A massive statue of the Nandi Bull stands watch outside the temple door.

Activities & Rituals: See the Gauri Kund, the Darshan of Kedarnath Ji Temple, Bhim Shila, and have a chance to see the Sadhus and Gurus who have been meditating in Kedarnath for a long time.

We will spend the night in Sitapur. Trek down to Sonpryag following morning pooja and darshan. From there, our car picks you up and drives you to a hotel for a restful night.

Following a typical and relaxing breakfast and wake-up, we will go to Badrinath Ji. Via Joshimath, Govindghat, Pipalkoti, and Chopta. I get to see the breathtaking Chopta and Himalayan Ranges while travelling. Along the way, we will visit three major Prayags (confluences of holy rivers): Vishnuprayag (where two rivers, the Dhauli Ganga and the Alaknanda, confluence), Karnprayag (where the rivers Pindari and Alaknanda confluence), and Nandprayag (where the rivers Nandakini and Alaknanda confluence). For compact cars, the route from Guptkashi to Chopta and subsequently to Pipalkoti is good; the road from Pipalkoti to Joshimath is superior. In the evening, we will arrive in Badrinath and spend the night at Shree Badrinath. We can take part in the evening Aarti by making a quick visit to the temple if we arrive on time. When you arrive at a temple for the Darshan of shri Badrinath Ji (Moksha Dham), you often can’t help but go.

You must finish all of your unfinished karmas and rituals on this day. Your search for salvation will be fulfilled in this Moksha Dham. Thus, this program is set up to provide you the most time possible on this land. We will be staying in Rudraprayag the following day, which is just five hours’ journey from Badrinath. Therefore, we will have roughly a half-day to finish our Darshan and ceremonies. Travel to Rudraprayag in the late morning, no later than 12:00 noon.

Activities & Rituals in Shri Badrinath: Take a holy plunge in Tapt Kund in the morning. If time permits, repeat Badri Vishal’s darshan. A significant trip to Nag Nagin Pith, one of Sarp Kal Dosh Nivaran’s favourite locations in India, A brief excursion to Charan Paduka Darshan, Ekadasi Gufa, and Hanuman Gufa, as well as Mana Village (Vyas Cave, Ganesha Cave, Keshav Prayag, and the Darshan of Sarasawati Udgam (origin)). As you return to Rudraprayag, you may see Vishnu Prayag, Nandprayag, and Karnprayag.

The holiest of the four major shrines is Badrinath, which is located on the left bank of the Alaknanda River and is surrounded by the majestic Neelkantha Peaks. It is nestled in the twin mountain ranges of Nar and Narayan. The area was formerly known as Badri van because it was covered in “badris,” or wild berries. According to legend, the ground could not bear the force of the Ganga’s descent when it was asked to come to earth to aid the suffering of people. The powerful Ganga was thus divided into twelve sacred channels. Among them was Alaknanda, which subsequently became the home of Badrinath or Lord Vishnu.

Narad Kund: The Badrinath idol was unearthed from a pool formed by a river recess close to Tapt Kund.
Brahma Kapal: It is a flat platform a few yards north of the temple and on the bank of river Alaknanda. In order to guarantee a heavenly location for deceased ancestors or manes, it is a significant location for shradh ceremonies or pind offerings. According to legend, when a pind is offered here, the manes are eternally preserved in heaven and are never to be offered again. According to legend, Brahma’s fifth head became attached on Shiva’s trident when he severed it. Last but not least, the head of Brahma fell from the trident in Badrivan with the grace of Lord Vishnu; thus, the name Brahma-Kapal (head).

Sheshnetra: It is a huge stone block with the eye of “Sheshnag” between two little, seasonal lakes. It is thought that the Sheshnag patiently awaits the lord’s rebirth at this location. The eye creation is fairly natural, and 1.5 kilometres away is a boulder that bears an impression of the fabled snake, also known as the Sheshnag’s eye.

Mana Village: The final Indian settlement before Tibet, it is inhabited by an Indo-Mongolian people. Every year on the day the temple closes, the local women present Choli to the goddess.

Bhim Pul: Across the rushing Saraswati River from Mana village is a huge rock that forms a natural bridge. It is thought to have been positioned there by Bhim, the second oldest of the five Pandava brothers, and offers a breathtaking view of water pouring down through the small opening beneath the rock.

Vyas Gufa: Ved Vyas is said to have written the Mahabharata and the pauranic comments in this rock cave, which is close to Mana Village.

After breakfast in the morning, make your way to Haridwar. The fifth and final Parayag-Dev Parayag and Yoga Capital Rishikesh will be seen along the way. Drop you off at the railway station or airport for your next stop when you arrive in Haridwar.
