Trekking in Joshimath is a commonly planned trip for adventure enthusiasts all around the country. Joshimath is a small town located in Uttrakhand, which is known for its endless beauty and serene environment. Surrounded by mountain ranges, this place comes on the way to one of the pilgrim centers, Badrinath. Over the year many trekking trails have been developed here which the pilgrims use to go to Badrinath. It is a gateway to many Himalayan mountains, passes and climbing expeditions. There is a long list of tourist attractions present in this small yet diverse town. There are the Shankaracharya Math and the Narsinh Temple that give a small preview of what one is going to witness in the temple of Badrinath. Then there are the hot springs present on the mountain, Tapovan which is situated about 10 km away from the main town. This place has a majestic feel and breathtaking views. Since it is not developed properly the Trekking Tours in Joshimath are quite affordable and fun at the same time. The most famous Trekking Tour is the Kuari Pass Trek.
It's a 6-day trek starting from Haridwar and then going through the Himalayan mountain ranges to reach Joshimath. Then there are other treks like the one through the Valley of Flowers where one can witness a beautiful scenery and feel like they are in heaven. The best time to visit the valley of flowers would be around sunset when the Ray's of the sun make the flowers look awe-inspiring and gives travelers the peace they were looking for. The Bagini Glacier Trekking is also one of a kind where the whole troop goes to the mountaintop by trekking on the Bagini Glacier. This trek is quite difficult and should be done only by experienced trekkers. Besides trekking, travelers can go sightseeing, enjoy the wildlife and nature, they can go skiing in the winters and of course go camping. This place is not quite famous but it is as pretty and scenic as any other hill station present in India.
