The Panch Badri Yatra is one of the most sacred pilgrimages in Uttarakhand, devoted to Lord Vishnu in his different divine forms. Unlike the single journey to Badrinath Dham, this yatra embraces five holy shrines scattered across the Alaknanda valley — Adi Badri, Vridha Badri, Yogdhyan Badri, Bhavishya Badri, and Badrinath. Our Panch Badri Yatra Package offers a complete and comfortable journey to all five temples, allowing devotees to experience the full circle of Vishnu worship in the Himalayas, deeply rooted in ancient traditions and Puranic legends.
Panch Badri Yatra is another significant spiritual circuit where Lord Vishnu is worshipped in different forms. These temples are Badrinath (Vishal Badri), Yog Dhyan Badri, Bhavishya Badri, Vridha Badri, and Adi Badri. Our Panch Badri Yatra Package allows devotees to visit all five sacred shrines comfortably. In the Skanda Purana’s Kedarkhand section, the Sapt Badri notion is also mentioned.
Badrinath is located 3,133 m above sea level in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The temple is one of the most important shrines among the Char Dham Pilgrimage sites & also highly revered among the Panch Badri. It is mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana that at Badrikashram (meaning Badrinath), the sages Nara and Narayana had been undergoing great penance since time immemorial for the welfare of all living entities. This religious town is situated between Nar & Narayan Mountains on the bank of the river Alaknanda
Adibadri is a group of temples located at a distance of 17 km from Karnaprayag on the way to Ranikhet. People believe that some temples were built during the Gupta age, whereas others think that Adi Shankaracharya developed this temple to spread Hinduism. Adi Badri is a group of 16 temples, out of which 14 temples are still intact even today. Inside the main temple, there is a 3 ft. idol of Lord Vishnu, which is worshipped here as Adi Badri. Legend says that here Maha Rishi Ved Viyas wrote Shri Mad Bhagwat Maha Puran, and also Adi Badri was the Tapasthali of Lord Vishnu for three yugas(era).
Vridh Badri is located at an altitude of 1380 m in the Animath village, which is 7 km from Joshimath. It is believed that Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Vridha, or old man, before sage Narada performed penance here. Thus, the idol installed at this temple is in the form of an old man. According to legends, Adi Shankara worshipped Lord Badrinath here before his enshrinement at Badrinath dham. This temple is located in the Animath Village which is just at 7 km distance from Joshimath and remains open for devotees throughout the year.
Bhavishya Badri is another temple of the Panch Badri Circuit. Bhavishya Badri means the future seat of Badri. According to the legend of Bhavishya Badri, when evil transcends the world, the mountains of Nara and Narayana would block up the route to Badrinath, and the sacred shrine would become inaccessible. The present world will be destroyed and a new one established. Then, Badrinath will appear at the Bhavishya Badri temple and be worshipped here, instead of the Badrinath shrine. Currently at Bhavishya Badri temple, the idol of Narasimha- the lion-faced incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is enshrined.
Yogdhyan Badri is located at Pandukeshwar at an elevation of 1,920 m above sea level. Pandukeshwar is en route from Govind Ghat to Hanuman Chatti, approximately 9 kilometres away from Hanuman Chatti. According to the legend, King Pandu meditated here to evacuate their sin of committing fratricide (gotra hatya) and Brāhmanahatya (killing the Brahmins or priest) during the war of the Mahabharata. The Shaligram stone statue of Lord Badri is carved in a meditative posture, thus referred to as Yoga-dhyan (meditative) Badri.
