We chose Get Go Trip as our travel partner for the Do Dham Yatra, and overall, i (Read More)t was a comfortable and memorable journey. The planning and execution made the pilgrimage smooth and enjoyable for our family.
A special mention goes to our driver, who was the backbone of this trip. Navigating the treacherous mountain roads of Uttarakhand during the monsoon season requires exceptional skill and patience. He remained thoroughly professional, calm, and dependable throughout the entire route, ensuring our safety at every turn. Having such a reliable person behind the wheel made a massive difference to our peace of mind.
While the overall experience was positive, there were a few minor operational hiccups along the way that could be smoothed out for future travelers. That said, the team delivered well on its core promises.
Thank you, Get Go Trip, for facilitating a safe and fulfilling yatra. Highly recommended, especially for their reliable on-road support and professional drivers.

Badrinath Travel Essentials
Best Time to Visit The best time to visit Badrinath is from May to June and September to October, when the temple is open and temperatures range between 8°C and 20°C. The Badrinath Temple opens every year around April–May (Akhanda Jyoti Darshan) and closes around October–November (Kartik Purnima), depending on weather conditions. July and August bring heavy monsoon rains and occasional landslides, making travel unpredictable. November to April, the temple remains closed, and the idol of Lord Badrinarayan is moved to Joshimath for winter worship.
Ideal Duration & Popular Itineraries Badrinath pilgrimages usually last 2 to 3 days, often combined with Kedarnath or as part of the full Char Dham Yatra. Popular formats include:
2 Days: Drive from Joshimath or Pipalkoti to Badrinath, temple darshan, and return.
3 Days: Adds visits to Mana Village (India’s last village), Vyas Gufa, and Tapt Kund.
Top Things to Do
Offer prayers at the Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu and part of both Char Dham and Chhota Char Dham pilgrimages
Take a ritual dip in the Tapt Kund, the natural hot spring near the temple
Visit Mana Village, the last inhabited village near the Indo-Tibet border
Explore Vyas Gufa and Ganesh Gufa, ancient caves linked to the Mahabharata
See Charan Paduka, a rock bearing what is believed to be Lord Vishnu’s footprints
Enjoy scenic views of the Neelkanth Peak, especially at sunrise

Kedarnath is higher, situated at an altitude of 3,583 meters, compared to Badrinath at 3,300 meters. Kedarnath also requires a 16 km trek from Gaurikund, making it more strenuous. Badrinath is relatively easier and more accessible, especially for elderly devotees or families with children.
How long is Badrinath walk?
From the vehicle parking, it’s a brief 400–500 meter walk to the temple gate—well-paved and manageable for most. If you’re exploring Mana Village, the walks and treks range from 1 km (Vyas Gufa) to 6 km (Vasudhara Falls). These are optional and can be skipped if you're only visiting for darshan.
Which month is the snowfall in Badrinath?
Snowfall typically begins in late November and continues till March, during which the temple remains closed and inaccessible. The town and surrounding mountains start showing snow-clad peaks as early as October, but heavy snowfall occurs between December and February. If you're visiting in late October, you may catch glimpses of fresh snow on Neelkanth Peak and surrounding hills.
Is oxygen less in Badrinath?
Yes, being at an altitude of around 3,300 meters (10,800 feet), oxygen levels are lower than in the plains. While most people can manage, those with asthma, heart conditions, or senior travelers might feel breathless or fatigued. It's important to ascend gradually, avoid overexertion, and consult a doctor before traveling if you have health concerns. Portable oxygen cylinders are also available in nearby towns like Joshimath or can be arranged by some travel agencies.
Is Badrinath Yatra difficult?
In comparison to Kedarnath, Badrinath is less physically demanding, thanks to its road connectivity. However, the long hours of driving (8–10 hours from Rishikesh or Haridwar) and the high altitude can be tiring, especially for the elderly or those with breathing issues. Travelers are advised to take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and rest well. The road is winding and narrow in parts, so motion sickness medication might be needed for some.
How many days are enough for Badrinath?
A 2 to 3-day trip is sufficient for visiting Badrinath comfortably.
Day 1: Travel from Haridwar or Rishikesh to Joshimath or Badrinath (9–10 hours drive).
Day 2: Early morning darshan at the temple, followed by visits to Mana Village and nearby attractions.
Day 3: Return journey or continue to Kedarnath/Auli if combining with other locations.
If you’re planning the entire Char Dham circuit, you’ll need 10–12 days.
When is the Badrinath temple open for darshan?
The temple opens every year in late April or early May, usually on Akshaya Tritiya, and closes around Bhai Dooj in November, just after Diwali. The exact dates are announced by the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee a few weeks prior. During this window, darshan is open from early morning till evening, with special aartis and poojas held daily. It’s advisable to avoid weekends and major festivals if you want to skip large crowds.
