About Badrinath Dham Yatra
Present in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, Badrinath Dham holds a special place in the hearts of numerous Hindus. This serene temple is located amidst the awe-inspiring Himalayan mountains and is dedicated to Lord Badrinath, considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Towering at an impressive altitude of 3,133 meters (10,279 feet), Badrinath Temple boasts a history that spans millennia.
