Sandwiched between Nar and Narayan mountain ranges, Badrinath in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand is naturally bestowed with pristine surroundings. One among the most sought after pilgrim centres in the Indian subcontinent, Badrinath is beautifully set in the backdrop of the colossal Neelkanth mountain peak. The term Badrinath is a derivative of badri, which means the place where beries grow abundantly.

A place, which holds so many myths and legends, Badrinath acquires predominance in the travel itinerary of a pilgrim. The popular belief is that Badarinath was the domain of Lord Shiva, and Lord Vishnu managed to unseat Shiva from here to Kedarnath. Another belief is that when Ganga made her descend to earth she split up in to twelve streams and one among the channels, Alakananda felt on Kedarnath. Sanctity and holiness of Badrinath festooned it with accolades since from the Vedic ages. This sacred abode of Nara-Narayana sages had been a revered seat and the Vedas like Srimad Bhagavatam, gave testimony to its devoutness.

It is not just shrines and pilgrimage that Badrinath offers. It proffers the awesome beauty of the snow clad mountain peaks and the surging landscapes of the Garhwal region. It is a scenic place with picture book sceneries, undulating peaks, sacred ponds and water bodies, Badrinath makes the visitor spellbound with its unparalleled gorgeousness. This majestic look of Badrinath is attributed much by the presence of the magnificent rivers Rishi Ganga and Alaknanda. Apart from the natural beauty, Badrinath presents excellent opportunity for those who love escapades and recreational activities.

Renowned for the holy shrine of Lord Badri, this holy abode of lord Vishnu is liked by all for its effervescent spirituality and loveliness. The twisting Alakananda River and copious dazzling waterfalls augments the compelling splendor of the adjoining nature throughout your voyage to Badrinath. This holy city is an ideal location for those who want to be in the midst of serene surroundings. With its picturesque beauty and eye-catching entertainments Badrinath draws rising number of tourists every year.

Indra I will like to have an idea about the oxygen level in
badrinath and Kedarnath
Posted by Indra 11 months ago Reply     Report as spam
Krishnan The oxygen level both at Badrinath as well as Kedarnath is comfortable for persons of age upto 70. In case a person is having tghe ailment of breathing inconveniences or troubles, he should be careful. When I went to Badrinath in 2008 and at my age of 68, I never felt any discomfort for want of oxygen
