Badrinath and Joshimath are two of the handful of Divya Desams that lie in the north, and this four-day yatra from Haridwar lets you see both without a rushed schedule. Most road packages try to reach Badrinath in a single day from the plains; we deliberately break the journey at Joshimath on the way up and again on the way down. This gives elderly yatris a night to settle at about 1,900 m before they sleep at Badrinath, and it keeps every day’s driving within sensible limits on hill roads.

The route follows the Alaknanda valley through Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Karnaprayag and Chamoli, so you watch the river narrow and the mountains rise as you travel. At Badrinath you have a full morning for a dip in the Tapt Kund hot spring, darshan of Badri Vishal and a short drive to Mana, the last village before the border, where the Vyas Gufa and the Bhim Pul are a short walk apart. On the return, Joshimath’s Narasimha temple and Adi Shankaracharya’s Jyotirmath are visited at leisure.

This is a road yatra, run only during the months the temple is open (roughly late April to mid-November; 16 November in 2026). Rooms, vehicle and the Uttarakhand yatra registration are arranged by us; you carry your ID, warm clothes and your medicines. The package starts and ends at Haridwar; pickup from Rishikesh or Dehradun (Jolly Grant airport) can be arranged on request.

Route

Haridwar → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Karnaprayag → Joshimath → Badrinath → Mana → Joshimath → Haridwar

Good to know before you book

Badrinath temple is open only for about six months a year. The 2026 season opened on 23 April; the 2027 opening date is announced on Basant Panchami (February 2027) and we will confirm it before you travel.
Registration on the Uttarakhand Tourism portal (registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in) is compulsory for every yatri; we complete it for you using the ID details you share.
Badrinath is at roughly 3,100 m. The night at Joshimath on the way up helps the body adjust; anyone with heart or breathing conditions should take a doctor’s advice first.
Day 1 is a long drive of about 270 km that can take 9 to 10 hours with stops, so an early start from Haridwar is a must.
Mobile network, ATMs and petrol pumps are limited beyond Joshimath; carry some cash and keep phones charged.
Hill roads can close for a few hours after rain or landslides, especially in July and August. Keep a buffer day if you have a fixed train or flight.

Day 1 :

Haridwar to Joshimath along the Alaknanda

We leave Haridwar early from your arrival point (airport, railway station or hotel) at the agreed time. The road passes Rishikesh and then climbs along the Ganga to Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda meet to form the Ganga; a short stop here lets you see the confluence from the road. The drive continues through Srinagar (Garhwal), Rudraprayag and Karnaprayag with a lunch halt (own cost) at a roadside dhaba of your choice. We reach Joshimath by evening, check in and have dinner at the hotel. It is a long day of about 270 km on hill roads, so rest early.

Overnight: Joshimath

Night stay: Joshimath Altitude: ≈1,875 m Distance: ≈270 km drive Travel time: ≈9–10 h Meals: Dinner

Day 2 :

Joshimath to Badrinath, Tapt Kund, darshan and Mana village

After breakfast we drive about 45 km to Badrinath, passing through Vishnuprayag, Govindghat and Pandukeshwar. Check in, then walk to the Tapt Kund hot spring below the temple for a bath before darshan of Badri Vishal, the black stone form of Narayana seated in meditation. In the afternoon we drive a few kilometres to Mana, the last Indian village on this road, and walk to the Vyas Gufa (where tradition says the Mahabharata was dictated), the Ganesh Gufa and Bhim Pul over the Saraswati stream. Evening aarti at the temple if the queue allows; dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Badrinath

Night stay: Badrinath Altitude: ≈3,300 m Distance: ≈45 km drive Travel time: ≈2 h Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 3 :

Morning at Badrinath, return to Joshimath and its temples

Those who wish can attend the early morning abhishek or take a second darshan when the temple is quieter. After breakfast we drive back down to Joshimath. Here we visit the Narasimha temple, which is the Divya Desam of Thiruppiridhi and also the winter seat of Badrinath's deity, and the Jyotirmath established by Adi Shankaracharya with its ancient mulberry tree, the Kalpavriksha. The rest of the evening is free; dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Joshimath

Night stay: Joshimath Altitude: ≈1,875 m Distance: ≈45 km drive Travel time: ≈2 h Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 4 :

Joshimath to Haridwar

After an early breakfast we start the long drive down the valley to Haridwar, with tea and lunch stops (own cost) on the way. We aim to reach Haridwar by evening and drop you at your departure point (airport, railway station or hotel). Please book onward trains or flights for late evening or the next morning, as hill roads can be delayed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand all

When is the best time for this yatra?

May to June and mid-September to the closing date (mid-November; 16 November in 2026) are the most comfortable. July and August bring monsoon rain and the risk of road blocks. The temple is closed from about November to April, so the yatra cannot be run in winter.

Why two nights at Joshimath instead of going straight to Badrinath?

Joshimath is at about 1,900 m and Badrinath is above 3,000 m. Sleeping at Joshimath first lets the body get used to the height, which matters for elderly yatris and children. It also keeps each day’s driving to a reasonable length.

Is registration needed and who does it?

Yes, the Uttarakhand government requires every yatri to register for Char Dham destinations including Badrinath. We do this for you on the official portal using your ID details and send you the registration slip before travel.

Can elderly parents manage this yatra?

Yes, for most fit senior citizens. There is no trek; the temple is about a 10-minute walk from the parking, with some steps. The main challenges are the long drives on hill roads and the cold. We keep the pace slow and can arrange a wheelchair-friendly route at the temple on request.

Which temple timings should we plan around?

Badrinath temple generally opens before sunrise for the morning rituals and closes for a few hours in the afternoon before the evening aarti. Exact timings change through the season, so our coordinator will share the day’s schedule when you reach Joshimath.

Can you add Kedarnath or Hemkund to this package?

Yes. Kedarnath can be added as a Do Dham yatra with two extra days and a trek or helicopter ride. Hemkund Sahib and the Valley of Flowers (June to October) start from Govindghat, which is on this route, and need two to three extra days. Ask us for a custom plan.

Can we start this Badrinath yatra from Dehradun or Rishikesh instead of Haridwar?

Yes. The package starts and ends at Haridwar, but we can arrange pickup from Rishikesh or from Dehradun’s Jolly Grant airport on request. Both lie on or near the route to Devprayag, so the plan stays the same: Joshimath on Day 1, Badrinath and Mana on Day 2, and the return via Joshimath. Day 1 is already a long drive of about 270 km, so tell us your arrival time early. A flight that lands late may need an extra night before the start.

What if the road is blocked by a landslide?

In the monsoon this happens occasionally and the road is usually cleared within hours. Our driver will wait or take the alternative route if one exists. If a night is lost, we adjust the itinerary and any unused hotel cost is refunded as per the hotel’s policy. We suggest keeping one spare day before a fixed flight.
