BADARINATH
The Himalayan abode of Sri Maha Vishnu

CONVEYANCE 

Conveyance to Badarinath like Kedarnath poses many problems; and it is both risky and tedious. Rishikesh and Kotdwara are the two nearest railway stations. From any point, the long distance of nearly 300 kms journey by bus or taxi chills the pilgrims at the outset itself. As the road lays over the mountain terrain, through scarcely populated areas, under threatening weather conditions, the journey saps both enthusiasm and vital powers of the pilgrims; yet millions do undertake yatras to these Himalayan pilgrim centres, every year with unbounded religious fervour. And that mirrors the infinite powers of the presiding Deities of the places and the irrepressible religious spirit of the pilgrims.
