Generally, you have to pay Rs. 200 to 250 per individual for riding in this ropeway trolley. Whoever comes here, loves this place and wants to spend as much time as possible.

Kashi Vishwanath
In the route of Gangotri, this temple known as Kashi Vishwanath is placed in the Uttarkashi town. You have to step on the right side of Uttarkashi-Gangotri Road to reach the temple. The temple is located near the District Court, and there are some other temples around, like Shakti Temple, Hanuman Temple, Pracheen Gopeshwar Temple and Krittiwasheshwar Temple. This Vishwanath temple is built in a large area and it looks huge and elegant. Most people visit all of these temples because they are located within walking distance.

Ardhnarishwar Temple
Ardhnarishwar Temple is a religious attraction on the route of Kedarnath Dham. When you reach Guptkashi, then, you have to move towards Guptkashi town by leaving Kedarnath Road. After a few minutes of walking on the inter-college road, you will reach the Ardhnarishwar temple. This temple of Lord Mahadev and Goddess Gaura is spread over enough area, and there is a Kund in front of the temple. People sprinkle water to purify themselves and then go inside the temple for Darshan. You would see the mountains behind the temple and so the pictures look perfect outside the temple complex.

Narsingh temple
In Guptkashi, Narsingh temple is located at a 10 km distance from the Ardhnarishwar temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Narsingh, who is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu in the time period of Hiranyakashyap. There are several ropes tied around the temple, and you will see small pieces of red, white and yellow clothes on these ropes. The temple architecture is influenced by Nagara as well as the modern style of temple architecture. Here you can visit while going towards Kedarnath Dham. Usually, drivers take a break in Guptkashi, so you should utilise that time to visit this site.

Mana Gaon
Nestled beside the confluence of River Alaknanda and Saraswati, this Mana Gaon is an 18 km distance from the Badrinath Dham. So people come here while visiting Badrinath Dham. This village has several special reasons to be unique. Firstly, it’s the first village in the Country, and secondly, there are some significant religious points like Sri Ganesh Gufa, The cave of Veda Vyas and Tripura Bala Sundari Mandir. Some of the tourists come here to visit these religious sites, and some to look at the first village vibes.
Overall the village looks beautiful, and you must come here to experience its uniqueness in real.

Panch Prayag
Panch Prayag indicates the popular circuit of river confluences in Uttarakhand. In total, there are 5 confluences included in this circuit, and all are regarded as holy and pilgrimage sites in Hinduism. In all the confluences, the Alaknanda River is common, which meets with another river. For instance, In Devprayag, the Bhagirathi river joins with Alaknanda. While in Rudraprayag, it’s about the Mandakini River and Alaknanda. The other 3 confluences, famous as Karnaprayag, Nandprayag and Vishnuprayag, are about the Pindar, Nandakini and Dhauliganga rivers. Due to its religious linkage and visually awesome views, people like to see all 5 sites.

Destination Details

Haridwar : As Haridwar is the first spot where you’ll spend time, you must know a bit about its exploring scope. Haridwar is a city located on the plains of Uttarakhand, so it’s not as cold as other destinations of your Yatra. After checking in at your hotel, you can walk out to look at the serene evening of Haridwar. The spiritual activities that are a must to indulge in the land of god, Haridwar are Ganga Snan in Har ki Pauri, and witnessing Ganga Sandhya Arti.

Gangotri:- Gangotri is one of the Uttarakhand Char Dhams and has special significance in the Hindu community. Gangotri is the origin of the holy river Bhagirathi which later came to be known as Ganga Ji. Devotees believe that taking a holy dip in Gangotri will get rid of all the sins done by one. The importance of the Bhagirathi River and Gangotri Dham can be felt by the crowd of pilgrims. When you visit here, you must take a bath and get the Darshana of Gaumukh. Besides that, you should also perform the pooja and offer your prayers at the Ghat of Bhagirathi River. Usually, devotees offer flowers and flame to the Goddess Ganga.

Yamunotri:- Yamunotri is the first destination of your Char Dham Yatra. Similar to Gangotri, it’s also a temple, representing the origin of Yamuna river. Yamunotri refers to the origin of Maa Yamuna. In Hinduism, after Ganga ji, Yamuna ji is the second most holy river popular in North India. Hence, people have faith in visiting this religious site and offer their prayers.

Barkot :- Barkot is the base camp for Yamunotri Dham. Whoever comes to visit Yamunotri, come here first. Barkot is a small serene town representing the natural beauty of Uttarakhand at its best. The weather and atmosphere both are exactly as travellers want to relish.

Uttarkashi :- Uttarkashi is the base camp for Gangotri Dham. As the name reveals, it has some past linkage with the Kashi the teerth in Uttar Pradesh. Uttarkashi is mainly known for its renowned Vishwanath temple. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and attracts the devotees who visit the town. When you are on your way to Gangotri and stay here then take out some time to get Darshan of Lord Mahadeva.

Guptkashi :- Guptkashi is another typical Uttarakhand town. It is the base camp for Kedarnath Dham. The devotees often take a night stay break here before moving towards Kedarnath Dham. Guptkashi has some beautiful temples like Vishwanath Temple, Ardhnarishwar Temple, and Triyuginarayan Temple. These temples hold special spiritual significance. So if you are in Guptkashi, you must visit these religious abodes.

Kedarnath: Kedarnath Dham is one of the most popular religious sites across the country. People from remote corners come here to get the auspicious darshan of Shivling of Lord Shiva. Along with one of the Chhota Char dhams of Uttarakhand, Kedarnath is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. That’s why this site is considered highly spiritual. Despite the tough terrain, devotees trek to the temple with deep belief in their hearts.

Joshimath :- Joshimath is the place before Badrinath Dham. People who visit Badrinath, stay here. According to the sources, Joshimath was established by Adi Shankaracharya. And so it’s one of the important cardinal points. If you have idle time, then visit the Shankaracharya Math and Narsingh temple. Both of these sites will delight you with unique spiritual vibes.

Badrinath :- Badrinath, one of the Char Dhams in Hinduism, is the important pilgrimage site. It is the temple of Lord Vishnu and Mahalaxmi. Among the Chhota char dhams, it is the most important Dham. That’s why, some people who are not physically fit visit all 4 sites of Char Dham, they come to Badrinath only. The temple is located in the beautiful terrain of mountains. Wherever you’ll see, you’ll find snow-covered peaks. So do visit here and cherish your life with more goodness and positivity.
