Day 01 · Guptkashi, Uttarakhand
Departure from Delhi to Arrival in Guptkashi
Morning: Kick-off from Rishikesh
- Arrival & Refresh: Arrive in Rishikesh and take a moment to breathe in the mountain air. We’ll start the day with a refreshing cup of local tea before hitting the road.
- The Holy Sangam: Our first major stop is Devprayag. Witness the breathtaking sight of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meeting to officially become the Ganga. We will also visit the ancient Shri Raghunath Temple here.
- Breakfast in Srinagar: A quick stop in the valley of Srinagar for a hearty breakfast.
- Dhari Devi Darshan: Visit the Dhari Devi Temple, perched right over the Alaknanda river. She is considered the guardian deity of Uttarakhand and the protector of the Chardham.
- Final Prep at Augustmuni: A second stop for breakfast/snacks. This is the perfect time to do a final inventory check (ensure you have your raincoats, power banks, and trekking gear ready for the days ahead).
- River Views: Continue the drive as the landscape changes. You’ll pass through Rudraprayag (the confluence of Mandakini and Alaknanda) and the winding roads of Ukhimath. Keep your cameras ready for the river valley views.
- Check-in: Reach Guptkashi by the evening. The air is cooler here, and the vibes are serene.
- Rest & Rejuvenate: Check into your hotel, enjoy a warm Himalayan dinner, and get a good night's sleep to prepare for the spiritual journey tomorrow.
