Accomodation in Badrinath
Where To Stay in Badrinath
During June, Badrinath can be a very crowded place, and it can be difficult to find a room at any cost. When you arrive late in the day, people will come and offer you a room. It could be a good idea to accept their offer rather than searching for three hours for a room. In Badrinath you can expect to pay at least double the price a similar room would cost anywhere else in India. During the weekends in June it will be difficult to find a room than at other times.
The Badrinath's Temple Committee manages some pilgrim guest houses. The Modi Bhavan has rooms and the Gujarat Bhavan is slightly more expensive. They are close to the river, on the opposite side of the river from the temple. You can book rooms for these guest houses at the Information Centre, at the main intersection in town not far from the guest houses and the bridge. You can also book rooms in advance at the Badrinath Temple Committee offices in Delhi or Rishikesh.
The Hotel Garhwal, near where the bus let you off.
There are over 30 dharamshalas in Badrinath. The Paramarth Lok is a large well-maintained ashram Iike a modern lodge. Some rooms have attached bath, and double rooms. During the busy season there is a good chance that this place will be fully booked.
The Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam Tourist Bungalow has dorm beds. It is the best place in town. The GMVN has a cheaper lodge on the same road where the buses stop. It has rooms with common bath. It is best to book both of these places at least a week in advance at their office in Rishikesh.
