Badrinath is a Hindu holy town and a nagar panchayat in Chamoli district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Badrinath is the most important of the four sites in India’s Char Dham pilgrimage. Badrinath is in the Garhwal hills, on the banks of the Alaknanda River, at an elevation of 3133 m.
Get in
The nearest airport is the Jolly Grant Airport near Dehradun, about 317 km from Badrinath. The nearest railway stations to Badrinath are at Rishikesh and Kotdwar, which are at a distance of 297 km and 327 km respectively. There are regular buses operating to Badrinath from Delhi, Haridwar and Rishikesh.
Get around
Located only a few kilometers from the Indo-China (Tibet) border, Badrinath is generally a two-day-long journey from either Kedarnath, the site that precedes it in the Char Dham circuit, or one of the main disembarkation points on the plains. Hemkund Sahib, an important Sikh pilgrimage site, is on the way to Badrinath, so the road is especially crowded during the summer pilgrimage season. The temple and its substantial surrounding village are accessible by road.Many people prefer to reach Badrinath shrine starting early morning from Joshimath have darshan of Lord Vishnu and return to Joshimath by evening.
See
- Nar Narad Temple.
Do
- Vasudhara Waterfall, 8 km from Badrinath. The first 3 km can be travelled by a car or a bus. This stop is called “Mana”. First point after the village Mana, the last habitat in the indian side, is Bhim Pool. This is said to have been built by Bhim for his wife Draupadi who could not cross the ridge. From here there is a 4 km trek for the falls and no special gear for the trek is needed, only some good shoes.
- Hot Geyser. There is a hot spring near the temple, and many saints live in the surrounding mountains all year round despite the harsh winter at such high elevations.
Origin of Saraswati River, near mana village. this is said be origin of Saraswati river coming out and going underground again as this river is not visible anywhere from source upto Allahabad Sangam in UP where it is said to merge into Ganga river along with Yamuna river.Very close to visible river Saraswati there is very small water stream said to be water from Mansarover Lake in China.

beautiful place
wonderfull picture,
I had visited Badrinath alongwith my family during the summer of 1978. The experience of visitng Badrinath and Kedarnath was exhilirating and thrilling. On seeing the pics, I am tempted to visit Badrinath once again in the near future. Every Hindu must visit these Char Dhams atleast once during their lifetime.
Verry good site seen
My visit of BADRINATH during 1976 is repeated now through these internet pics. Thanks to the sender and may GOD ALMIGHTY bless him/her. BADRI VISHAL KI JAI.

hi
Nice Places Ever Green
to visit this places.
We had been twice to Badrinath and Kedarinath. Wonderful experience. While Kedarinath is an adventure, Badrinath is quite a pleasant trip and every one should go with their family. It would be really a great experience at a most economical cost, If one is able to combine with Gangotri and Yamunothri. Hope God Almighty will give us the courage in accomplishing this trip sooner.
Wonderful scenes !
Our Great India have all these paradises. Enjoy the photos. Thanks for funon the net for promoting these Hindu Dharmic Temples..
very good scenes and holy place one can visit their life time.
