How To Reach?

• The trek commences at Mana in Uttarakhand, the last village established on the Indo-Tibetan border. Located only 4 km away from the main town of Badrinath, the destination is well connected with several major cities of the country.
• By Air- Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun is the nearest airport and is only 317 km away from Badrinath. The airport is well connected to various big cities with several direct and connecting flights available on regular basis. One can also opt for the helicopter services available from the Sahastradhara helipad in the city.
• On reaching the airport, one can easily find a taxi or a cab to reach the desired destination.
• By Rail– Unfortunately, there is no railway station in Badrinath and the nearest railhead to the pilgrimage is Haridwar Railway Station which is nicely connected to the different parts of the country.
• By Road– Badrinath is very well connected to its surrounding states via NH-58 and this makes it easily accessible by roadways. You don’t need to worry about safety as the roads are well maintained and very safe to travel. We would recommend you to take a bus rather than driving your own to reach the place as it would be very arduous and hectic for you.
