Tour Overview
What if you could combine the ardor of spiritual seeking with the adventure of a challenging trek? What if you could walk the same path Pandavas were on in the Dwapara Yuga – Satopanth Swargarohini Yatra, the path of self-reflection and spiritual ascent they were on before their actual, literal ascent to heaven? The name Swargarohini speaks for itself. It is believed that the path truly leads one to the doorstep of heaven. Our first destination in the trek is Satopanth Tal which is situated at a distance of 26 km from Badrinath. The water in the lake is considered so holy that the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh are said to bathe in it. The other holy spots we will cover in this trip include Chakra Tirtha, Vasudhara Falls, Lakshmi Vana and Mata Murti Mandir. Join us in this beautiful trek to enjoy the amazing vistas of Himalayas, the Chaukhamba Peaks, the Neelkanth Parvat, the Parvati Parvat, the Alakananda glacier, the Alakananda snout, the many waterfalls and the lush green forests whose beauty our words fail to justify.Days Itinerary
