Recommendations

If you have an extra day, consider visiting the Hemkund Sahib, a Sikh pilgrimage site near the Valley of Flowers National Park. You can also visit Haridwar, another holy city located on the banks of the Ganges. To maximize your fun, make sure to carry comfortable shoes, a sunscreen, and insect repellent. You can also go for a helicopter ride to Kedarnath, which is quicker but more expensive. Lastly, make sure to try the local Garhwali cuisine, which includes dishes like Kafuli, Jhangore ki Kheer, and Aloo Ke Gutke.
