The Ultimate Travel Guide
Badrinath Dham is one of India’s holiest pilgrimage sites. Surrounded by the majestic Himalayas and the Alaknanda River, it’s a place of spiritual energy and breathtaking beauty.
Lord Vishnu meditated here, and Goddess Lakshmi protected him by turning into a Badri tree. The temple is over 1,200 years old and rebuilt by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century.
The temple is open for six months (May–June & September–October) when weather is safe. Winters are harsh with heavy snow, so it remains closed.
Reach Badrinath via Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun and continue by road. The drive offers scenic views but involves steep turns.
Stay options for every budget: Budget hotels, GMVN guest houses, Dharamshalas, and mid-range hotels with modern facilities.
Enjoy pure vegetarian food: dal, roti, sabzi, tea, Maggi, sweets, and snacks. Non-veg, alcohol & smoking are banned near the temple.
