About Joshimath Tourism

Joshimath is a city with religious importance and a municipal board in the Garwal region of Chamoli district in Uttarakhand. Joshimath is located at an altitude of 6000 ft in the snow-capped Himalayan ranges just above the mountains of Dhauliganga and Alaknanda. Joshimath lies in the region of Kamaprayag, which is a region where the two rivers of Dhauliganga and Alaknanda meet. Joshimath is visited by Hindu devotees as it is as an important pilgrimage centre with several temples and religious sites. Joshimath, which is located very close to the area of Badrinath, is one of the four ‘maths’ discovered by Adi Guru Shri Sankaracharya in the 8th century AD. The ‘math’ here is dedicated to Atharva Veda. This place was earlier known by the name of Kartikeyapura until the Katyuri rulers renamed the place. Joshimath offers opportunities for trekking from Joshimath to the Valley of Flowers National Park. The region of Joshimath experiences mild cold even during the summers while heavy rainfall is expected in the monsoons. Winter seasons here are extremely cold and the temperature during this time drops to the freezing point. Some areas of the town are even closed due to heavy snowfall. Joshimath is not directly connected by rail or air. The nearest airport is located in Dehradun at a distance of 151 kilometres. The nearest railway station is at Haridwar, which is about 163 kilometres from Joshimath and can be reached from major cities like Delhi, Ahmedabad and Dehradun. It is also connected to Dehradun, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Almora and Nainital by regular bus service. Read More >>

Joshimath Experience: Nice place with lots of sightseeing and religious places..

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Small hilly town with small restaurants, not much variety but enough. Town market with general items no special local item for shopping. Sightseeing. Lot of places far and nearby for sightseeing specially Auly in winter famous for snowfall and skiing Joshimath is famous for winter shelter of God Badrinath. Other sightseeing places are Tapovan, Vishnupryag etc. in summer.

Activities & things to do: Skiing in Auly in winter 14km above Joshimoth

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Only by bus either from Haridwar, Rishikesh or from Kotdwara. Best from Haridwar or Rishikesh. Hilly terrain, lot of turns so if you have problem of vomiting in bus then carry medicine of vomiting is must for you..

Joshimath Experience: The experience was very good, it was a holy place. We had great opportunity to meet Shri Shankaraachaarya, he was there at their Math. The old badri temple was. superb

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: There is only one or two food hotels except GMVN , so be ready with your food options, sight seeing is manageable on foot except only one location of Old Badri temple.

Activities & things to do: There is nothing to do very much at Joshi math itself as it is only the Midway towards Badrinath or Auli.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Be prepared with medicine for vomit due to hilly terrain, try to reach in day time.

Activities & things to do: Skiing, cable car, snow motor car are the sports one can enjoy.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Best to visit in winters, specially when no Badrinath Yatra is going on, hotel are easily available
