Rudraprayag
Rudraprayag is a sacred confluence town where the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers meet, on the road to Kedarnath and Badrinath. It is one of the five holy prayags of Uttarakhand, and the meeting of the two rivers is a striking sight. Stop to see the sangam, visit riverside temples such as Koteshwar and rest in comfort before the mountain roads ahead.

Signature experience
The Sangam of Alaknanda and Mandakini
Stand at the meeting point of two rivers, whose waters differ in colour and speed as they join. Steps lead down toward the confluence, and devotees often offer prayers at the water’s edge. The sound of the rushing rivers, the mountains rising on all sides and the quiet of the setting make it a calm pause in a busy yatra. It is a short, memorable stop and a good place to take a breath before the road splits towards Kedarnath and Badrinath.
