Panch –Badri (8N/9D)
Badrinath – Yogdhayn Badri – Bhavishya Badri –
Virdha Badri – Adi Badri
Lord Vishnu is worshipped at Panch Badri in different forms. Considered
one of the Char Dham or four principle places of Hindu worship at
himalayas, Badrinath's four subsidiary badries include Bhavishya Badri,
Yogdhyan Badri, Vridha Badri and Adi Badri.
Badri Vishal : Main shrine of Lord Badrinath ji is known as
'Badrinath'.
Bhavishya Badri : (2744 m). The shrine is 19 km away from
Joshimath, which is supposed to be an alternative seat of Lord Badrinath
ji, if for some unknown reason, 'Badrinath' shrine disappears. An image
of God 'Narsing' is kept here, which is worshipped by the devotees
coming from Tapovan Dhauliganga side. Pilgrims have to trek for 6 km to
reach the shrine.
Yogdhyan Badri : (1920 m). The shrine is 23 km short of Badrinath
shrine, located at Pandukeshwar. It is here that King Pandu is believed
to have meditated after the victory over the 'Kauravas' and before
leaving for his heavenly abode.
Vridha Badri : (1380 m). This is the first holy place of Lord
Badrinath ji located at Animath. Animath is 8 km short of Joshimath
approachable by motorable road. Before Badrinath was designated one of
the four 'Dhams' of Hindus by Adi-Shankaracharaya, the idol of Badrinath
ji was woshipped here. Vridha Badri remains open throughout the year.
Adi-Badri : Adi-Badri is 19 km away from Karanprayag, on the
Chaukuthia Ranikhet road, where a group of 16 temples dating back to the
Gupta age, are in existence. These temples were made with the idol of
lord Vishnu to spread Hinduism to every remote comer in the country by
Adi-Shankaracharya.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS AND HEMKUND TREK (5N/6D)

OF FLOWERS:
Nestled high in West
Himalaya, India’s Valley of Flowers National Park is renowned for its
meadows of endemic alpine flowers and outstanding natural beauty. This
richly diverse area is also home to rare and endangered animals,
including the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard, brown bear and blue
sheep. The gentle landscape of the Valley of Flowers National Park
complements the rugged mountain wilderness of Nanda Devi National Park.
Together they encompass a unique transition zone between the mountain
ranges of the Zanskar and Great Himalaya, praised by mountaineers and
botanists for over a century and in Hindu mythology for much longer.
Gurudwara Hemkund
Saheb:
The
high altitude Lokpal lake, known as Hemkund ( 4329 mts.) lies in
heavenly environs. A steep trek from Ghangharia leads one to this spot
in about four to six hours. It is an important pilgrimage for both
Hindus and Sikhs, as well as for people from other faiths. There is a
Sikh Gurudwara and a Lakshman temple built on the bank of the lake.
As alluded to, in the holy Granth Sahib, Guru Govind Singh, the tenth
Guru of the Sikh faith had meditated on the bank of this lake in one of
his earlier births. It is widely believed among Sikhs that Guru Govind
Singh introduced the features now universally associated with Sikhism.
On 15th April 1699, he started the new brotherhood called the Khalsa
(meaning the pure, from the Persian word 'Khales') an inner core of the
faithful, accepted by baptism (amrit).
It is believed that Lakshman, the younger brother of Ram, meditated by
the lake and regained his health after being severely wounded by
Meghnath, son of the demon Ravana, during battle

Gangotri : Gaumukh : Tapovan : Nandanvan Trek (6N/7D)
Gangotri (3048m) lies
in the northwest Himalayas of Garhwal, and is one of the four dhams
(pilgrimage centres for Hindus, the other three being Yamunotri,
Badrinath and Kedarnath) of Garhwal.
The Bhairnoghati bridge built across one of the deepest gorges in the
world, connects Gangotri to the rest of the world across the Bhagirathi
River.
There
is an 18th century temple made of granite rock at Gangotri that was
built by Amar Singh Thapa, a gorkha commander, and later rebuilt by the
Maharaja of Jaipur.
The temple is dedicated to the Goddess Ganga who is believed to have
descended from heaven as a result of King Bhagirath centuries:long
penance, since the latter wanted the ashes of his dead relatives to be
washed away by the holy waters of the Goddess Ganga.
The current of the Ganga was so strong that Lord Shiva (the Destroyer in
the Hindi Holy Trinity of Creator-Preserver-Destroyer) had to hold her
flow in check by coiling his matted locks around her. From then on,
Shiva is also known as Jatashankar (Jata means hair in Hindi). There is
a lingam (the symbolic phallus of Shiva) in the water that can be seen
in winter. Gaumukh, or the cows mouth, (3892m), the source of Bhagirathi
River, is at a distance of 17km from Gangotri.
A 4km trek through the massive Gaumukh Glacier, takes you to the high
altitude plain, Tapovan, where King Bhagirath did penance. Tapovan is
the foothill of the mighty Shivling Peak (6543m), one of the most
beautiful peaks in the world.

Environmental
Guidelines
These guidelines help in reducing the impact on the environment,
minimize the possibility of animal suffering and stress, and encourage
respect and appreciation of other cultures and traditions.
1. Campsite - Keep in mind that another party will be using the same
campsite after you have left. Leave the site cleaner than you found it.
2. Don't Fuel the Fire - Always discard matches and cigarettes with
great care but also keep the use of wood for fuel to a minimum. When
possible, take kerosene or an alternative fuel source for cooking and
heating purposes.
3. Remove litter - Burn or bury paper and carry out all non-degradable
litter.
4. Keep local water clean - Avoid using pollutants such as detergents in
streams or springs. If no toilet facilities are available, make sure you
are at least 30 meters away from water sources, and bury or cover waste.
5. Plants should be left to flourish - Taking cuttings, seeds and roots
is illegal in many parts of the world. Also remember the trade in many
wildlife products is strictly illegal.
Help your guides and porters to follow conservation measures.
6. When taking photographs - Respect privacy : ask permission and use
restraint.
7. Respect Holy places - Preserve what you have come to see, never touch
or remove religious objects. Shoes should be removed when visiting
temples.
8. Giving to children encourages begging - A donation to a project,
health center or school is a more constructive way to help.
9. You will be accepted and welcomed if you follow local customs.
10. Clothes - Loose lightweight clothes are preferable to revealing
shorts, skimpy tops and tight fitting action wear.
11. Visitors - who value local traditions, encourage local pride and
maintain local cultures. Please help local people gain a realistic view
of life in Western Countries.
12. Respect Animals - In National Parks and Wilderness areas the animals
are wild. Harassment can cause stress, keep your distance if you are in
a safari vehicle or other forms of transport. In some situations it is
possible to get really close, this makes for great pictures but Mountain
Gorillas, for example, can catch human diseases that can be fatal.
13. Stay on Track - Unsupervised off road driving can cause irreparable
damage to the soil and vegetation, all for the sake of that once in a
lifetime shot. In many areas, trekking and climbing are popular leisure
activities. By carefully keeping to marked paths and routes, human
impact can be kept to a minimum.
Note:
While we take all necessary precautions and follow all safety measures
every participant must accept and acknowledge that Travel and
participation in Adventure Sports like Trekking and Camping, White Water
Rafting, Rock Climbing, Wild Life Safaris etc in the Himalayas are by
their nature likely to involve actual risk and danger to oneself as a
consequence of (but not limited to) the hazards of traveling in
mountainous terrain, accident or illness in remote areas (lacking proper
medical facilities), animal attacks, the forces of nature and the like.
Considering such serious perils may exist, you are urged to consider
personal risks to your health and safety before accepting to participate
in the tour.
This rates for only Indian clients.
