Why Visit Badrinath?

Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand at an altitude of 3,133 meters, Badrinath is one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites in India. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the Badrinath Temple draws thousands of pilgrims and travelers every year. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and lush valleys, the town offers a perfect blend of devotion, mythology, and majestic Himalayan views.

Top Attractions in Badrinath

• Badrinath Temple: The centerpiece of the town, this sacred shrine dedicated to Lord Badrinarayan is built in traditional North Indian style. The black stone idol of Vishnu is said to be self-manifested and is a central part of Hindu spirituality.
• Tapt Kund: A natural thermal spring near the temple believed to have healing properties. Devotees take a ritual bath here before visiting the main shrine.
• Neelkanth Peak: Towering behind the temple, this majestic snow-covered peak is often called the ‘Garhwal Queen.’ It makes a stunning backdrop and is especially breathtaking at sunrise.
• Charan Paduka: A sacred rock believed to carry the footprints of Lord Vishnu. A short trek leads to panoramic views of the town and the Alaknanda River valley.
• Mana Village: Just 3 km from Badrinath, it’s the last Indian village before the Indo-Tibetan border. Visit mythical sites like Vyas Gufa and Bhim Pul while soaking in authentic Himalayan village life.

Badrinath is part of both the Char Dham and Chota Char Dham circuits and is believed to be the place where Lord Vishnu meditated under the Badri tree. The temple opens every year between April and November, during which devotees from across India and abroad undertake this life-changing pilgrimage.
