We will have you stay overnight at the hotel in the city.
Uttarkashi:This ‘Kashi of the North’ is nestled along the banks of the holy river Bhagirathi, the primary tributary of Ganges. It is said that Lord Shiva resided in the city. Other than the aforementioned Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the city also houses a famous Shakti temple which is situated just opposite to the Shiva temple. Its massive iron trident is such a matter of fascination. In fact the Trishul itself is considered to be an embodiment of Shakti herself.

Enjoy your wonderful darshan of Lord Kedarnath and return to Sitapur to rest at the hotel.
Kedarnath:What can one say of the glories of Kedarnath shrine where Lord Shiva has promised to dwell for eternity in its Jyotirlingam? While Shivlingam as the sacred manifestation of Lord Shiva is supremely revered, jyotirlingam as the corporeal embodiment of Shiva’s fiery light is considered even holier. There are twelve jyotirlingas across India which are enumerated in the Dwadash stotra, as per which paying visit to the jyotirlinga relieves a sincere devotee of their karmic debt and enjoys the rightful fruition of their destined wishes. Kedarnath also forms an integral part of Panch Kedar, the other temples in the cluster are at Madhmaheswar, Kapaleswar, Tungnath and Rudranath.

You are free to explore the Badri valley to your heart’s delight after checking in at the hotel. One may proceed to procure blessings of Lord Badrinarayan after taking a holy dip at its revered Tapt Kund. The Brahmakapal situated in the temple vicinity is where rituals for ancestors are conducted.
Badrinath:Badrinath finds itself counted among both the char dhams, the age-old char dham pilgrimage of India initiated by Adi Shankara and also the one nestled in Garhwal Himalayas, referred to as Himalayan Char dham. The peaks of Nar, Narayan and Neelkanth peak form its picturesque background.
Tapt Kund:This natural thermal spring is revered for its medicinal properties. One ought to bathe in its holy water before one enters the sacred premises of the shrine.
Narad Kund:It is at Narad Kund that Guru Shankaracharya is said to have found Badrinarayan idol. It is a depression in the Alaknanda River upon whose banks the temple has been constructed.
