Of all 4 dhams I must say with certainity I found Badrinath most beautiful. Gangotri-Gaumukh is at second place for me. Badrinath is vast open beautiful picture postcard landscape with wide beautiful valley view, and awesome pilgrimage + sightseeing route through Mana Village to Vasudhara Falls. There are hot water kunds near main temple called Tap Kund and Narad Kund latter being closer to river Alaknanda.The temple darshan however is highly restricted these days. You get darshan from window of temple outer wall from where you see the Lord some 10-15 feet away sadly. Only those who pay for special pujan and darshans are allowed inside the temple. Darshan queue can be huge May-Jun and can take 2-6 hours. Other places to visit are Mana Village through there Nar-Narayan temple on one side and on other Saraswati-Alaknanda rivers sangam, Lord Ganesha-Ved Vyas caves, Mansarovar Stream, Bhim Pul, Saraswati River, Saraswati Temple, Draupadi Temple. These are within 1.5-2.5 kms walk in same area around Mana village. And finally Vasudhara Falls from Saraswati & Draupadi temples endpoint of Manaa 5-6 kms further trek up the glaciers. See my reviews on these places. See my review for Vasudhara Falls for details of trek! Darshan closes by 9.30 PM night!

This kund is just adjacent to Badrinath temple. As the saying goes you need to take bath in this holy kund before taking darshan of Badri Vishal ji...

7. Vyas Gufa

Inside the “Vedvyas Gufa”, a person in grey suit and a cap, sitting right infront of a statue of Vedvyas made in black stone, asked us all to settle down. And then to this audience of about 15 people, this pandit, in his own characteristic manner of singing verses or telling memorized phrases in a very animated way, elaborately narrated the fable of Vyas - his birth and early life and his literary genesis. The segregation of the Vedas and the narration of Mahabharata to Lord Ganesh is attributed to this sage here. It is interesting to note that instances of the last moments of the epic and the first retelling of the same converge at this place in Mana. It is in this cave that sage Vyas narrated the Mahabharata for Ganesha to document by hearing from the next cave.

Saraswati river is visible near the village mana, which is 5 kms from badrinath. From the parking, it is close to half an hour of steep track. However, once you reach, the origin of river saraswati is visible. At a short distance, saraswati river joins alaknanda river in mana village, to form Keshav prayag. Must visit if you visit badrinath.
