Haridwar to Badrinath by road, stop by stop
The route our drivers take, with the stops worth making.
- HaridwarPickup at the railway station, the bus stand, Har Ki Pauri parking or any ashram and hotel. Have every pilgrim’s yatra registration QR on the phone before the car arrives.
- RishikeshAbout 25 km on, the hills begin. Rishikesh hotels, AIIMS and Jolly Grant airport pickups join here, saving roughly an hour.
- DevprayagThe first and best-known of the Alaknanda’s five prayags, where the Bhagirathi joins it to form the Ganga. A short tea stop above the sangam.
- Srinagar · RudraprayagSrinagar (Garhwal) is the usual breakfast or lunch town. At Rudraprayag the Kedarnath road turns off; the Badrinath road stays with the Alaknanda.
- Gauchar · KarnaprayagThe valley opens out at Gauchar, then Karnaprayag, where the Pindar river joins. Roughly the halfway point in time — a sensible place to stretch your legs.
- Nandprayag · Chamoli · PipalkotiThe road narrows and the hills close in. Pipalkoti has good small hotels and is the last easy lunch stop before Jyotirmath.
- Jyotirmath (Joshimath)The big town below Badrinath, about 45 km and 1.5 hours short of the temple. Families arriving late in the day sleep here and drive up fresh in the morning; Auli’s ropeway and slopes are just above.
- Govindghat · BadrinathPast Govindghat (the start for Hemkund Sahib and the Valley of Flowers) the road climbs the gorge to Badrinath. Cars park in town, a short walk from the temple and Tapt Kund; Mana village is 3 km beyond.

Road tips for Haridwar to Badrinath
Register before you book the car
Yatra registration is compulsory and free for every pilgrim, children included, on registrationandtouristcare.uk.gov.in or the Tourist Care Uttarakhand app. The QR pass is checked on the way up, so carry the same ID you registered with.
Split the drive with a night in Jyotirmath
Ten hours on mountain roads is a lot in one go, especially with elders. Many families drive Haridwar to Jyotirmath or Pipalkoti on day one, reach Badrinath for the evening aarti on day two, and are back in Haridwar on day four. Our drivers do not run these roads after dark.
Add Mana and Mata Murti
Mana village, the Bhim Pul and Vyas Gufa are 3 km past the temple and fit into the same morning. Tell us when booking so the driver plans the morning around it.
Badrinath to Kedarnath in one car
Many pilgrims do both dhams: Haridwar → Sonprayag for Kedarnath, then over Chopta or back via Rudraprayag to Badrinath, and down to Haridwar — the 6-day Do Dham. The same driver waits at Sonprayag while you walk; see our Char Dham taxi page for the full plan.
Uttarakhand cess, tolls and parking
Cars registered outside Uttarakhand pay a small green cess at the state border (₹80 for light vehicles since 15 February 2026), plus highway tolls and parking in Badrinath. These are added at actuals, never marked up.
Season, monsoon and winter
The temple opens in late April or May and closes for winter in November — in 2026 on 16 November; the deity’s winter worship moves to Yogadhyan Badri at Pandukeshwar and the Narsingh temple in Jyotirmath. July–August rain brings landslides between Karnaprayag and Badrinath; we watch the district advisories and move your start day or time when the road is shut.

Questions travellers ask
What is the Haridwar to Badrinath taxi fare?
One-way fares start around ₹4,599 for a hatchback, ₹5,299 for a sedan, ₹6,699 for an Ertiga, ₹7,799 for a Kia Carens and ₹9,199 for an Innova Crysta. A 12-seater Tempo Traveller starts around ₹17,999. Tolls, parking and the Uttarakhand cess are extra at actuals; May–June dates cost more.
How far is Badrinath from Haridwar by road?
About 315–320 km on NH7, a 9–11 hour drive with breaks. The last 45 km from Jyotirmath take about 1.5 hours on their own, so most of the day goes in the hills beyond Rudraprayag.
Does the taxi go right up to Badrinath temple?
Yes. Badrinath is on a motor road, so the car drives into the town and parks a few minutes’ walk from the temple and Tapt Kund — there is no trek, unlike Kedarnath. Mana village, 3 km further, is also reachable by car.
What does a 4-day Badrinath trip by taxi from Haridwar cost?
A 4-day Haridwar–Badrinath–Haridwar trip (about 640 km with a night in Jyotirmath) is billed per kilometre with a 250 km daily minimum and driver allowance. It starts around ₹13,199 in a sedan, ₹15,199 in an Ertiga and ₹20,199 in an Innova Crysta; hotels, tolls and parking are separate.
What is the Rishikesh to Badrinath taxi fare?
Rishikesh is about 25 km closer, roughly 295 km to Badrinath. A one-way drop starts around ₹4,899 in a sedan and ₹8,499 in an Innova Crysta. We pick up from any Rishikesh hotel, ashram, the ISBT or Jolly Grant airport.
Can we do Haridwar to Badrinath in one day?
Yes, if you leave by 5 am and the road is clear you reach Badrinath by late afternoon. Coming back the same day is not possible, and with elders or small children we suggest breaking the drive at Jyotirmath or Pipalkoti both ways.
Can the same car cover Kedarnath, Hemkund Sahib or Auli?
Yes. Kedarnath via Sonprayag makes the 6-day Do Dham; Govindghat, the base for Hemkund Sahib and the Valley of Flowers, is on the way; and Auli is a short climb above Jyotirmath. Each extra day is quoted per kilometre the same way.
Is the taxi available after Badrinath closes for winter?
The temple closes for winter on 16 November 2026 and reopens in late April or May 2027. In winter we still drive to Jyotirmath, where the Narsingh temple holds the winter worship, and to Pandukeshwar, subject to snow on the day.
