Day-Wise Journey Plan

DAY 01, SUN
Drive from Haridwar (1,030 ft.) to Joshimath (6,150 ft.)

Our adventure starts with an early morning departure from Haridwar, a sacred town at the edge of the Himalayas. The drive to Joshimath is long but beautiful, following the Alaknanda River through deep valleys and mountain gorges.

We’ll cross several important Panch Prayags (confluences of sacred rivers), including:

Devprayag (Bhagirathi + Alaknanda = Ganga)
Rudraprayag (Mandakini + Alaknanda)
Karnaprayag (Pindar + Alaknanda)

By Evening, we’ll reach Joshimath, a key pilgrim and trekking base town. Settle into your hotel, rest, and prepare for the upcoming trek.
