Travel tips

  • Carry sufficient cash as ATM availability is limited and unreliable in the higher reaches of the Kedarnath-Badrinath circuit.
  • Download offline maps for the mountain routes, as mobile connectivity is frequently lost between towns.
  • Prioritize early morning travel to avoid the common afternoon rain showers that often trigger landslides in the hilly terrain.
  • Engage only government-registered guides for the Sarutal trek to ensure safety and accurate route navigation.
  • Keep a digital and physical copy of your government-issued photo ID, as it is mandatory for hotel check-ins and travel permits in this region.
