Embark on a sacred journey to one of the holiest destinations in India, Badrinath, with our meticulously designed Badrinath Yatra package from Haridwar. The town of Badrinath is not only a renowned pilgrimage site but also an exquisite destination offering spectacular views of the majestic Himalayas and a rich spiritual experience. This yatra promises a seamless and spiritually enriching journey that combines divine darshan, serene landscapes, and cultural exploration.
Your pilgrimage begins as you arrive at Haridwar, one of the holiest cities in Uttarakhand. From here, you'll begin your journey towards Badrinath, a town nestled in the Himalayas.
Morning: Start your day with a warm welcome at Haridwar, where you’ll board a private vehicle to begin your journey to Badrinath. The scenic drive takes you through awe-inspiring landscapes of hills, rivers, and valleys, which will fill you with a sense of peace and tranquility. On your way, stop at Dhari Devi Temple, an ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Dhari Devi. The temple is believed to protect pilgrims from all dangers, and it holds immense spiritual significance.
Enroute: Continue to Devprayag, a confluence of two holy rivers – the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi. It is at this confluence that the river Ganga is said to originate. You can witness the merging of the rivers and take a moment to reflect in this sacred place.
Afternoon: After passing through beautiful towns and scenic landscapes, you’ll reach Badrinath by evening. Check-in to your hotel, freshen up, and enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel. Rest for the night, preparing for the spiritual activities of the next day.
The second day is dedicated to performing darshan at the Badrinath Temple and exploring the sacred and serene surroundings of this mystical town.
Early Morning: The day begins early with a visit to the Tapt Kund (hot water spring) for a ritual dip. It is believed that the hot spring has medicinal properties, and bathing here purifies both the body and soul. The holy dip is an essential part of the Badrinath yatra, ensuring that you start your darshan with a cleansed spirit.
Badrinath Temple: After your dip, proceed to the temple for the darshan of Lord Vishnu. The Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is one of the Char Dhams and one of the holiest shrines in Hinduism. It is situated at an elevation of 3,133 meters above sea level, surrounded by breathtaking snow-capped peaks. The temple’s architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and beautiful shrines. Spend time in prayer and reflection, absorbing the spiritual energy of this divine place.
Post Darshan: After the darshan, take a short walk to visit the nearby Mata Murty Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu’s mother, Mata Murty. The temple holds great significance and is a part of the pilgrimage to Badrinath.
Bhim Pul & Vyas Gufa: Post breakfast, your sightseeing tour continues with a visit to Bhim Pul, a natural bridge formed by a large rock over the river, which is believed to have been placed by Bhim, one of the Pandava brothers, to help Draupadi cross the river. Afterward, head to Vyas Gufa, the cave where Sage Vyasa is said to have meditated and written the Mahabharata. It is an essential site for those seeking spiritual knowledge and connection to Hindu mythology.
Mana Village: After visiting the temple and local sites, head to Mana Village, the last village before the Tibetan border. This village is steeped in culture and is famous for its picturesque views, unique customs, and vibrant traditions. Spend some time exploring the village, which still follows ancient practices and has been a source of inspiration for many spiritual seekers.
Afternoon: After a day filled with divine exploration, return to your hotel, where you can unwind, enjoy a hot meal, and relax for the night.
After a fulfilling and spiritually enriching visit, the third day will see you returning to Haridwar, completing your pilgrimage.
Morning: After breakfast, begin your journey back to Haridwar. The drive offers yet another chance to enjoy the scenic landscapes and mountain views as you retrace your route through Uttarakhand’s natural beauty.
Afternoon: En route, you can stop for short breaks, perhaps at a scenic spot or temple, before continuing towards Haridwar.
