I had an idea when in KEDARNATH to extend the trip by a few days more so, decided to extend our trip and left towards BADRINATH.
In the evening we reached at JOSHIMATH where we were about to that night because it's main point of stopping for visitors.
JOSHIMATH is popular hill station and famous center for pilgrimages. The rivers Alaknanda and Dhauliganga meet at the confluence of Vishno prayag just situated below the town. Badrinath temple is around 40km far from there and Auli is 14km. after staying one night there we continued our journey, around 11am we reached Badrinath temple after passing zig zag road. We passed through Govindghat(it is situated on the bank of the Alaknanda River. It is the commencement point of the trek to Hemkund Sahib and Valley of flowers)
