Dehradun to Badrinath by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Dehradun to Badrinath tempo traveller pilgrimage is an epic Himalayan journey from the Doon Valley to one of the four sacred Char Dhams, the abode of Lord Vishnu at 3,133m. Travel via Rishikesh and then along the Alaknanda River through the five sacred Prayags (confluences). At Devprayag, witness the turquoise Bhagirathi meeting the green Alaknanda — a sight that has inspired poets for millennia. The route passes through Srinagar (Garhwal's largest town, great for lunch at Rajput dhabas), Rudraprayag, Chamoli, and the adventure base of Joshimath, where the 1,200-year-old Adi Shankaracharya Math stands. From Joshimath, the road descends dramatically to Vishnuprayag before climbing again to Badrinath. The colourful Badrinath Temple, with its distinctive facade painted in bright hues, houses a black stone idol of Lord Vishnu. Just 3 km beyond lies Mana Village — India's last settlement before Tibet — with its natural rock bridge (Bhim Pul) and the ethereal Vasudhara Falls.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Dehradun to Badrinath costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 335 km and about 11-12 hours of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
