Badrinath — the abode of Lord Vishnu in the Garhwal Himalayas — is one of the most sacred dhams in Hinduism and the final stop on the Char Dham Yatra circuit. Set at 3,133 metres on the banks of the Alaknanda river, the Badrinath temple is fully motorable — meaning pilgrims of all ages, including those who cannot trek, can reach the temple by road. The famous Tapt Kund natural hot spring sits just below the temple, where devotees take a ritual bath before darshan.

Places to See Near Badrinath
Best Time to Visit Badrinath
The Badrinath temple opens in late April and closes in November. The best months are May and September–October. May offers clear skies, manageable crowds, and excellent weather (8–14°C). September and October bring post-monsoon visibility and fewer pilgrims. Avoid July–August — the monsoon brings heavy rainfall, frequent landslides on the Joshimath route, and disrupted travel.
