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: We started our journey from Kochi. We visited Munnar, Thekkady, Kovalam kanyakumari and Alleppey and back to Kochi for our return flight. Mr Fahim makes our whole tour plan after (Read More)consultation with me and during our tour he always get in touch with us. He is a excellent tour planner. Our Driver Mr Firoj was also very nice person. He guided us during our trip. Thanks to Fahim and Firoj for making our Kerala Tour so memorable. Thanks to Holidify also because they connected us with Mr Fahim of Corbett Step Hospitality...

A Seamless Holiday Experience with Aswamedham Holidays Aswamedham Holidays truly exceeded our expectations. Their commitment to transparency and flexibility made our trip incredibly smooth. The itine (Read More)rary was well-planned, yet they were accommodating to our requests for changes. The choice of hotels was impeccable, offering comfortable and convenient stays. Our driver was not only skilled but also had a pleasant demeanor, enhancing our overall travel experience. What impressed us most was their constant availability and willingness to assist with any concerns or modifications.

Pratibha's Trip to Kovalam, Kanyakumari, Varkala

(Written on 16 Nov, 2024)

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.

Very good tour and travel service
