Badrinath Dham Yatra
Visit the holy shrine of Badri Vishal on the banks of the Alaknanda River, framed by the Nar and Narayana mountain ranges and the majestic Neelkanth Peak.
The Crown Jewel of the Char Dham
Badrinath is celebrated as the sacred sanctuary where Lord Vishnu performed penance under the Badri (jujube) tree, while Goddess Lakshmi protected him from harsh snowstorms by taking the form of the tree itself.
The black stone (Saligram) idol of Lord Badrinath sitting in padmasana posture was retrieved from Narad Kund and enshrined here by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. Just outside the temple lies Tapt Kund, a natural thermal sulphur spring where pilgrims take a purifying dip before entering the sanctum.
A short 3km drive further leads to Mana Villageβthe last Indian village before the Tibet borderβhome to Vyas Gufa, where Maharishi Vyas dictated the Mahabharata to Lord Ganesha.
