toonhut Says: Don't forget to visit the Shankaracharya samadhi (his final resting place) behind the temple. It's strange how thousands flock to the temple but nobody cares to walk some meters ahead to the little shrine built for the man who setup the temple they're visiting and the other...

Tapovan Resort: Rishikesh stay
verasingh Says: Decent place at Laxman Jhula, Near ganga ji and market. Good view. Good accesibilty to everything. Economical as well. The only problem is the staff. latedelivery of orders Located very well/.
Hotel Patliputra Bihar: Comfortable stay (Badrinath)
toonhut Says: There are lots of places to choose from in Badrinath. I have thoroughly looked around the entire place and I can safely say Patliputra offers the most frills to the guest at the least price. Clean, average sized rooms. The biggest plus is they provide space heaters for a...
toonhut Says: Clean and spacious rooms. They have electric heaters on the walls too but none of them worked ;) No lodge in Kedarnath provides insulated rooms. I know it sounds like luxury to ask for insulation but when its 0 C, you can't help yourself! It feels close to sleeping outdoors....
(The Pink Hotel): (Tungnath) The Basics
tayloretc Says: Tungnath doesn't have a lot of options. In fact I think there's only one other place to stay, and it appeared to be closed for the season. So. For about Rs200 you get a private room with a bed (a board covered by a thin comforter) and attached bath (western style toilet but...
Sunil Guest House: (Kedarnath) The Basics
tayloretc Says: Sunil Guest House is probably typical of accommodations at Kedarnath. It was clean (enough), there was an attached bath with water (and hot water in a bucket on demand), the windows were open to the hallway, which was open to the air (so it was cold). It was a little off the...
Saket Restaurant: Best dining in Badrinath
toonhut Says: Most agree this is the best place to eat in Badrinath. You can tell from the crowds and repeat faces of customers you see every time you dine. They come back for more. Almost everything is good, except their Chinese food. Hot drinking water is served in jugs -- everything...
(Not Sure): (Kedarnath) Excellent mixed veggies
tayloretc Says: This is one of a few places to eat on the main approach to the temple, and I had here one of the best mixed vegetable dishes I've ever had. They also let you sit for hours with just a cup of tea, while you wait for the rain to stop and the chill in your toes to thaw...
little_calvin Says: Kedarnath like Gangotri is also a place of pilgrimage. Eggs, meat products, onions, garlic are strictly not allowed.Alcohol is not allowed anyhwere near too. If you are complusive drinker then its advisable to stock up way before and drink somewhere far away from pr(a)ying...
jain012 Says: To reach Kedarnath most suitable type of transport is bus or taxi. one can hire these bus or taxi from Haridwar or from Rishikesh. taxi are also available there on share basis.
little_calvin Says: If walking 14 kms uphill looks tiring then you can hire a mule from Gaurikund, be sure you check out the current government rates and then get ready to haggle the price.Other forms are "doli" or a palanquin carried by four men, its tough on the poor souls but thn that's...
Reaching Kedarnath from Joshimath
recker_us Says: From Joshimath, take jeep/bus to Chamoli 50kms downhill. From Chamoli, take the gopeshwar route, reach Gaurikund passing through Gopeshwar, Mandal, Chopta, Okhimath, Guptkashi and Sonprayag. This journey from Chamoli is through the pictureous forest road. Traffic on this...
Reaching Kedarnath from Rishikesh
recker_us Says: Take a Jeep from Rishikesh to Karnaprayag. From KarnaPrayag, take a jeep or bus to Gaurikund. From Gaurikund, Kedarnath is a 14kms trek.
little_calvin Says: Kedarnath is deceptively high. Though an average graded 14 km trek. Altitude sickness is a threat. Specially if you are planning to go to vasuki tal or beyond to chorabari glacier.Don't forget to carry medicines for headaches, vomiting along with you. Stock up on fluids...
verasingh Says: it's everywhere! Right from hotels, food, ghodi, palki to dhabas. You cannot escape it. The only solution is what best bargain can you get. Fleecing is very common in Uttarakhand. Perhaps tourist season is on for a very short span so they try to make as much as possible.
Watch out for touts and sadhus!
little_calvin Says: At the Kedarnath watch out for touts who promise to get you inside the temple for a fee. As for sadhus watch out they don't liek their pictures being clicked and can react violently if caught. Its better to stand in line than to pay a few extra rupees and make your way in....
toonhut Says: Almost anywhere in Uttarakhand a torch and sunscreen will come handy often.
Chorabari Glacier & Source of Mandakani
little_calvin Says: both are about a 1.5 kms from Kedarnath. The source of the river is on the right bank from Kedarnath, there is no path or road till there.A small goat track leads all the way to Chorabari Lake (gandhi sarovar) from the left, the glacier is a little beyond.
toonhut Says: At all cost avoid coming here or to Badrinath in summer. That is high visitor season and the magic serenity of the place will never transpire. Not to mention all the mules you will have to dodge along the trail. After that are the monsoons, so obviously a no-no as if the...

The 2 biggies: Kedarnath and Badrinath
After a little snooze on my seat I awake as my head bonks the window as my bus takes sharp turn to see a different world outside. The air is clean! Green is all around! I even see fog and it’s only......
