Fast FactsThe best season to visit Badrinath is in summer when one needs to escape the burning plains. The shrine opens sometime in the early part of May and this is widely reported in the newspapers. However, if you are planning to venture beyond Mana, then it is best to wait for a month or so and travel in the month of June as the snows are still piled up high beyond the temple site.The nearest railhead is Haridwar or Rishikesh and from there onwards it is by road. It is possible to hire a car or a taxi quite easily in Haridwar or Badrinath. There is regular service by UP Roadways or Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam between the towns. The weather is a bit unpredictable. One should be prepared for bad weather in the mountains as the rain gods are very fickle. What begins as a bright sunny day can suddenly turn cloudy and windy and then rainy. One can consider travelling in the latter part of September and October. The tourist season is over by then and no crowds. the weather is better too. However it is slightly chilly. The government-run Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam Ltd can provide information or book accommodation
