Start your trip with a visit to one of the most revered temples in India. The Kedarnath Temple is located amidst the stunning Himalayas and can be reached by a 16-kilometre trek from Gaurikund. You can hire a pony or opt for a helicopter ride to make the journey slightly easier.
Get up early and drive to the picturesque town of Badrinath to visit the Badrinath Temple - an important Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Nestled between the Nar and Narayana mountain ranges, it is one of the Char Dham sites and also offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas.
Visit the last village of India situated on the Indo-China border. It offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, and about a kilometer from the town center is the Vasudhara Falls - a waterfall that offers a refreshing spray and an excellent picnic spot.
Explore the enchanting meadows of the Valley of Flowers National Park. Situated in the Chamoli district, the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famous for its alpine flowers. It has over 500 species of plants and flowers, 63 species of birds, and 20 species of animals.
Enjoy skiing and other winter sports in Auli, one of the best ski destinations in India. In addition, experience the breath-taking views of the Nanda Devi range and the Trishul Mountains.
End your trip with a visit to the holy city of Haridwar. Take a dip in the Ganges river and participate in the evening aarti - a ritual where lamps are offered to the river. You can also shop for souvenirs at the vibrant street markets or relax with rejuvenating Ayurvedic spa treatments.
For those with more time, visit the Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara, a Sikh shrine, situated amidst seven mountain peaks. For those with less time, skip Auli and instead visit the charming town of Rudraprayag, situated at the confluence of the Alakananda and Mandakini rivers.
