Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Rishikesh to Rudraprayag
  • After breakfast in Rishikesh, known as the Yoga Capital of the World, begin your journey to Rudraprayag. The drive offers stunning views of the Himalayan foothills and the holy Ganges.
  • Stop at Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers merge to form the sacred Ganga. Spend time admiring the pristine waters and visit the Raghunathji Temple.
  • Continue to Rudraprayag, the confluence of the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers, considered sacred by pilgrims.
  • Arrive by late afternoon and check into your hotel. In the evening, visit Koteshwar Mahadev Temple, a revered cave temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, situated along the Mandakini River.
  • Overnight stay at the hotel in Rudraprayag.
  • Start your day early with a scenic drive to Gaurikund, the base for the Kedarnath trek. En route, marvel at the Mandakini River valley and lush green landscapes.
  • Gaurikund, named after Goddess Parvati (Gauri), is also home to a hot spring where pilgrims bathe before commencing the trek.
  • Begin the 16 km trek to Kedarnath Temple (pony, palki, or helicopter options available at additional cost). The trek offers mesmerizing views of the Garhwal Himalayas.
  • Upon arrival, check into your guesthouse or dormitory.

What's Good: I'm delighted to share my exceptional experience with Welgreen Kerala Holidays, expertly managed by Mr. George. Our customized tour package exceeded our expectations, blending comf (Read More)ort and memorable experiences. Hotel selections were impressive: Hotel Sea View at Kanyakumari offered breathtaking sunrise views and delicious food. Hotel Germanus in Madurai, Hotel Soma Palmshore in Kovalam, and Hotel Taika in Rameshwaram provided pleasant stays with good food and courteous staff. The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available. Some valuable tips for future travelers: verify temple timings and dress code regulations in advance to optimize your itinerary. Ladies can find lovely, affordable sarees and dress materials. Engaging local drivers or guides can also enhance your experience. Mr. George and Welgreen Kerala Holidays deserve 100% marks for crafting an unforgettable trip with thoughtful hotel choices and a well-planned itinerary.

What's Not Good: The houseboat experience was outstanding, with mouth-watering local cuisine, including an unforgettable fish fry. However, hot water for bathing was not available and no more activities at the shore. Rather we would have preferred to stay in a hotel and take long ride of houseboat in the afternoon to late evening would have better.

Resort and hotel suggestions to suit my budget and strategically selected closer to places of interest was truly 5 star service from the agent. My solo trip was made safe and comfortable. Great sugge (Read More)stions were made to choose places to visit to make the trip fun, enjoyable and memorable. This awesome trip in a very long time was fun and refreshing. The paradise in Kerala will transcend your soul to haven. People are welcoming and friendly. I recommend Varkala tranquil beeches and Kovalam backwaters for the ultimate fun experience. Gods Own Country’s Kitchen is recommended for some great food and live music on the Varkala cliff point. If south temple architecture peeks your interest, then there are a few gems from ancient times hidden here to explore maintaining sanctity and faith in true form. Solo travellers pay couples rate which can be heavy on the purse. South India need to warm up to the idea that solo traveller numbers are increasing, male and female alike and in all age groups. Not only the cost of travel but people’s outlook need to change. Most of the temples here are only for believers in faith. Kanyakumari was crowded during the Diwali break. The seashore here is only to soak in the view. Thiruvananthapuram Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple darshan was divine however fleeting it maybe, but the mandapa which adorns the beautiful sculptures is out of bounds for devotees. The Garbhagudi could be well lit, so the devotees can properly catch a glimpse of the lord and be blessed. Since architecture is out of bounds recommend special entry for swift darshan.
