You can go on a trip to the most propitious and saintly pilgrimage to Badrinath to freshen up your mind by a tour package by Helicopter. On this tour, you will be going to places like Guptkashi, Gaurikund, Badrinath & Kedarnath.
Skanda Purana shows that might be there are a million holy shrines of Vishnu upon the earth, but not even one comes close to the spiritual sanctity instilled in Badrinath Shrine. But, it is widely accepted that a pilgrimage to Badrinath shrine would be considered incomplete without a previous visitation to Kedarnath shrine. Char Dham trip finishes at Badrinath, so does the revered Panch Badri. One can determine its value from the fact that not only does Badrinath form an essential part of Himalayan char Dham but also all India Char Dham started by Adi Shankaracharya in eighth century.
The present idol prayed in Badrinath is said to have been created by Adi Shankaracharya from a break in Alaknanda River. It was first introduced in a cave near the hot water springs at Tapt Kund. It was in the sixteenth century that the King of Garhwal removed the shrine to its present abode. But do not believe that the temple’s origin goes back to the only eighth century. In fact, evidence of the temple abounds in Skanda Purana, Vishnu Purana and Divya Prabandha etc.
The most advanced of the references on the Dham can be found in the story of Nar and Narayan. The savants Nar and Narayan are said to have been the earlier incarnation of Sri Krishna and Arjuna. They asked a sacred land that could build the sacred space for their religious ascetic traditions meant to bring in welfare for all living beings. This is the land they wanted to engage in their religious practices for thousands of years. The land presented holier by the deep spiritual practice started to be revered as Badrinath.
Rise up early & drive to Guptkashi. It will take you 7-8 hours to reach Guptkashi.
