About Badrinath

Dedicated to Lord Vishnu and nestled between the Nar and Narayan mountain ranges at 3,133m. The vibrant temple, Tapt Kund hot springs and Mana Village — India's last village before Tibet — create an unforgettable confluence of faith and Himalayan beauty.

Badrinath is the most accessible of the Char Dhams, reachable entirely by road. The temple opens each year in April/May with the Brahma Kapal ritual and closes in November with the Makar Sankranti ceremony.

Best Time to Visit

Temple opens April/May and closes November. May–June offers clear skies and comfortable temperatures. September–October provides post-monsoon clarity.

Things to Do

🙏

Natural sulphur springs below the temple. Pilgrims bathe before darshan — said to cure skin ailments.
