Badrinath Dham Details

04 May 2025 to 06 Nov 2025 (Tentative)

Reaching Badrinath via plane, rail, and road into the high Himalayas is an exciting but taxing trip. About 315 miles separate the closest airport from Badrinath, Jolly Grant Airport, in Dehradun. From the airport, guests can get buses or cabs via Rishikesh, Rudraprayag, and Joshimath. About 295 miles distant in Rishikesh, the closest railway station is conveniently located near big Indian cities including Delhi and Haridwar. From Rishikesh, daily buses and shared taxis head for Badrinath with stops at Srinagar, Karnaprayag, Chamoli, and Joshimath. Usually travelled in government-run buses, local jeeps, or private vehicles, the 45-kilometre hill trek from Joshimath to Badrinath is beautiful, steep, and curvy. The drive can take extra time during rainfall or early snow, considering great height and changing road conditions. We encourage pilgrims and visitors to review travel advice and weather forecasts before their journey. Despite the distance and effort required, the road offers breathtaking views of mountains, rivers, and holy confluences, thereby transforming the journey into a spiritual and beautiful experience that emphasises the destination's beauty and tranquilly.
