Tungnath Temple

Reviewed By pawanagni - Kanpur, India

This is the highest Lord Shiva Temple, situated at 14000 mtrs. above sea level and is also known as fourth Kedar at Chopta.. The climb is steep and tiring although only 3.5 kms... but the satisfaction you get after taking darshan is very mesmerizing.. You can take horse also for reaching the temple... the priests here are very polite and not there to rob you of your pocket...Amazing views of mountains and scenery will keep you spellbound during your trek to Temple.. Sight's are truly to behold... the experience cannot be described here in words... A MUST visit for All...

Of all 4 dhams I must say with certainity I found Badrinath most beautiful. Gangotri-Gaumukh is at second place for me. Badrinath is vast open beautiful picture postcard landscape with wide beautiful valley view, and awesome pilgrimage + sightseeing route through Mana Village to Vasudhara Falls. There are hot water kunds near main temple called Tap Kund and Narad Kund latter being closer to river Alaknanda.The temple darshan however is highly restricted these days. You get darshan from window of temple outer wall from where you see the Lord some 10-15 feet away sadly. Only those who pay for special pujan and darshans are allowed inside the temple. Darshan queue can be huge May-Jun and can take 2-6 hours. Other places to visit are Mana Village through there Nar-Narayan temple on one side and on other Saraswati-Alaknanda rivers sangam, Lord Ganesha-Ved Vyas caves, Mansarovar Stream, Bhim Pul, Saraswati River, Saraswati Temple, Draupadi Temple. These are within 1.5-2.5 kms walk in same area around Mana village. And finally Vasudhara Falls from Saraswati & Draupadi temples endpoint of Manaa 5-6 kms further trek up the glaciers. See my reviews on these places. See my review for Vasudhara Falls for details of trek! Darshan closes by 9.30 PM night!

Tapt Kund

Reviewed By pawanagni - Kanpur, India

This kund is just adjacent to Badrinath temple. As the saying goes you need to take bath in this holy kund before taking darshan of Badri Vishal ji...

Auli

Auli is a Himalayan ski resort and hill station in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand. It’s surrounded by coniferous and oak forests, plus the Nanda Devi and Nar Parvat mountains.

Reviewed By Vipinthapar - New Delhi, India

Auli is a wonderful hill station which is at apprx 500 kms from Delhi.I prefer to visit this place during winters as it offers best of ski slopes and continuous ski slope of apprx 1.3 kms. One can travel from Delhi to Haridwar or Dehradun and from there one can take local buses or jeeps.This is the cheaper way of transportation and would cost around Rs 700/= to Rs 1000/= in 2019.There would be a requirement to change transport on the way as most of the buses and jeeps would not go all the way to auli. A more comfortable option is to hire a car/SUV upto Joshimath which would take apprx 10 hrs and cost Rs 7000-10,000/= .From Joshimath take another cab upto Auli which is a 14 km climb.This would cost another Rs 800/=.There is also provision of a cable car from Joshimath to Auli which takes around 20 minutes and offers a beautiful scenic view along the way. Now, for skiing, GMVN has a very well established facility at Auli with dedicated skiing courses for beginners to advanced skiing.These courses cost apprx Rs 15000 for 7 day course and apprx 37000 for 14 day course which includes ski equipment,training,accommodation and food for the duration. GMVN also has deluxe rooms which one can separately hire for Rs 4000-5000 per day.It does not snow very well every year at Auli nowadays view the global warming scenario.So ,it is very important to check from GMVN the snow condition prior to taking a skiing holiday as and not finding much snow to ski can be really disappointing.

Saraswati River

Reviewed By 749devendrag - Gurugram (Gurgaon), India

Saraswati river is visible near the village mana, which is 5 kms from badrinath. From the parking, it is close to half an hour of steep track. However, once you reach, the origin of river saraswati is visible. At a short distance, saraswati river joins alaknanda river in mana village, to form Keshav prayag. Must visit if you visit badrinath.
