Adi Badri · Vridha Badri · Bhavishya Badri · Yogadhyan Badri · Badrinath
The Sapt Badri Yatra is a journey to all seven sacred shrines of Lord Vishnu scattered across the Garhwal Himalayas — Badrinath (Vishal Badri), Yogadhyan Badri at Pandukeshwar, Bhavishya Badri above Tapovan, Vridha Badri at Animath, Adi Badri near Karnaprayag, Ardha Badri and Dhyan Badri in the Urgam valley. It is a quieter, deeper pilgrimage than the usual circuit, winding through old temple villages most travellers never reach. We run the whole seven-day trip from Dehradun, with a registered guide and every road, stay and short temple trek taken care of.
