Badrinath Temple, Uttarakhand – Connectivity
The Temple is located at about 33 Kms from Vishnu Prayag,
46 Kms from Joshimath, 123 Kms from Karna Prayag, 156 Kms from Rudraprayag, 221
Kms from Devaprayag, 296 Kms from Rishikesh, 296 Kms from Rishikesh Railway
Station, 316 Kms from Haridwar, 311 Kms from Dehradun Airport and 527 Kms from
New Delhi. One has to take a bus from New Delhi to Haridwar or Rishikesh, from
where the state transport buses are available to Badrinath. The nearest airport
is Jolly Grant airport in Dehradun.
The journey to Badri, mostly from Rishikesh, is through
Rudra Prayag. The road from Rudra Prayag is a single way route, passing through
mountainous ranges, with the entire route fraught with dangerous curves and
stone falling zones. Throughout the entire route, one the one side will be
River Alaknanda and on the other mountains. Innumerable milky water falls adds
to the scenic beauty to the entire route.
During rainy days, the route witnesses many landslides
and will prove to be a hindrance for further journey. On account of the
vicinity to the international borders and risks of landslide in the entire
route, the task of maintenance of the road has been entrusted to Border Roads Organization
(BRO), a Unit attached to Indian Army. The travel time will be dependent on
weather conditions and landslides enroute. Badrinath is also connected by road
to Dehradun, Haridwar, Pauri, Uttarkashi, Nainital and Almora.
