Rishikesh to Badrinath is 295 km, about 10–11 hrs by cab. One-way fares start at ₹7,000 (sedan) and the route runs Rishikesh → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Karnaprayag → Chamoli → Joshimath → Badrinath. Booked with Shiv Ganga Travels, a Haridwar operator since 2010, with fixed fares and experienced hill drivers.
Badrinath is the farthest dham, and the cab actually reaches the temple town — no trek required, which makes it the easiest dham for seniors. From Rishikesh you follow the Alaknanda through all five Prayags up to Joshimath, then the dramatic final climb to 3,133 m. It is a long single day; most people stay a night at Joshimath or Pipalkoti to break it.
