Badrinath Tour Guide 2025 - Shree Ram Tourism's
Explore everything you need to know for your sacred journey to Badrinath Dham – one of the holiest sites in Uttarakhand. From routes and timings to climate, history, and tips – here's your complete guide.
Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is located in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand at an altitude of 3,300 m. It is a part of both the Char Dham and Chota Char Dham circuits. The temple’s vibrant red and yellow facade against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains offers a divine visual delight. The temple holds immense spiritual value and is mentioned in ancient scriptures like Vishnu Purana and Skanda Purana. Thousands of pilgrims visit every year to seek the blessings of Badri Vishal, believing it to be the gateway to moksha (liberation).
Route: Haridwar → Rishikesh → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Joshimath → Badrinath
Distance: ~310 km
Regular buses and private cabs operate from Haridwar/Rishikesh to Badrinath. Nearest railway station is Haridwar, and nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun. From Joshimath, the road to Badrinath is controlled via gate timings due to its narrow width, so planning your arrival accordingly is crucial. Helicopter services are also available from Dehradun for a faster and luxurious option.
The ideal time to visit Badrinath is from May to October. The temple opens in May (after Akshaya Tritiya) and closes around November (Bhai Dooj). June and September are considered the best months due to favorable climate and lower crowds. Monsoon (July–August) can bring landslides and disruptions, so travelers must stay updated with weather conditions. October offers mesmerizing views of snow-capped peaks with peaceful surroundings just before temple closure.
Besides the temple, visitors can explore Mana Village (India’s last village), Tapt Kund (natural hot spring), Vasudhara Falls, Charan Paduka, and Bhim Pul. These places hold both religious and scenic significance and are all within a short distance from the temple. Mana is also home to the mythological caves of Vyas Gufa and Ganesh Gufa, linked with the Mahabharata. Other attractions include Saraswati River origin point and the trek to Satopanth Lake for seasoned trekkers.
Carry warm clothes, even in summer, as temperatures can drop drastically at night. Acclimatize yourself if you're not used to high altitudes to avoid altitude sickness. Avoid plastic usage, keep the region clean, and respect local customs. Pre-book your hotels and taxis, especially during peak season. Carry sufficient cash as ATMs may not work beyond Joshimath. Always carry ID proof, essential medicines, and water bottles to stay hydrated.
