This is a spiritual place Temple of lord Vishnu. It’s gate normally opens on 12th May every year when pilgrimage can pay obeince as it remains closed during winter. We seven people visited this place on 13th May we participated in the Evening Aarti at 5.00 PM after taking bath in Tapat kund ( a hot water spring). Very amazing to take bath in just like boiling water. When gets eternal piece at this place A must visit temple In addition to temple one must visit Mana village

There is a different feeling once you reach the town of Badrinathji. This year was my 8th visit and I would like to keep visiting the shrine. Over the decades, the crowds have increased significantly, the accommodation options too have increased proportionately. Inspite of all these crowds, the temple maintains a halo and purity which is often missed in many other busy temples. As yet, there is no pressure by priests to pay to bypass the 'darshan' ques. Visit to Mana has also become an essential part of the trip since the past few trips and this visit also remains satisfying as always. This year, I visited the 'Shesh Netra Sheela'. Was a little disappointed at its poor upkeep. I also had the privilege of trekking up to 'Charan Paduka' - supposedly having the rock formation of Vishnuji's paduka (footwear). A short but steep trek behindd the main temple for about 1 hour. The location also provides excellent view of the area and also the 'Neelkanth' peak. There is a small temple of 'Gupta Ganga' on the way.

Badrinath is one of the four dhams for Hindus. Temple is one of the must visit places, not only for spiritual and religious purposes but for the scenic beauty as well. Some of the tips for the upcoming travelers 1. Try going in October. Crowds are less. Rains have gone, less risk of landslides. It took us only 15 mins to get darshan (it took people 4-5 hours in peak season of June/July). Weather is crisp, there's a little cold in the air but not unbearable. Hotels are less costly and vehicles are available easily. 2. Try visiting places like Rudraprayag (Dhari devi Temple), Chamoli etc if you can. There are lot of nice temples and 'prayags' during the journey. 3. Mana gaon is also a must visit - origin of river Saraswati is a nice place.
