Raghunathji Temple, Devprayag – Connectivity
The Temple is situated on the Rishikesh - Badrinath
highway in the lower Himalayas, 1,700 ft. (520 m) above sea level. The
Temple is located at about 500 meters from Devprayag Bus Stand, 223 Kms from Badrinath,
74 Kms from Rishikesh, 114 Kms from Dehradun and 305 Kms from New Delhi.
By Road:
Devprayag lies on national highway NH58 that connects Delhi with Badrinath and Mana
Pass in Uttarakhand near Indo-Tibet border. Therefore,
all the buses and vehicles that carry pilgrims from New Delhi to Badrinath via
Haridwar and Rishikesh in pilgrim season of summer months pass through
Devprayag on the way to Joshimath and further north. Rishikesh is the major starting
point for road journey to Devprayag and regular buses operate from Rishikesh
Bus Station to Devprayag.
By Train:
Nearest Railway Station is located at Rishikesh (72
Kms). However, Rishikesh is a small railway station not connected by fast
trains. Haridwar Railway Junction,
21 Kms farther from Rishikesh, has train connections to most of the major
cities in India and is, therefore, the railhead for Devprayag.
By Air:
Nearest Airport is Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun (90 Kms).
