Chandrapuri

Chandrapuri sits quietly along the banks of the Mandakini River in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. Resting at an elevation of about 690 meters, this peaceful riverside hamlet offers travelers an idyllic break along the pilgrimage route toward Kedarnath and Badrinath. Snow capped peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas rise in the distance while the clear turquoise waters of the Mandakini flow right past the settlement.

Travelers often choose Chandrapuri for its tranquil riverside camps and birdwatching spots away from highway crowds. Fresh river breezes cool the valley throughout the year. You can take leisurely morning walks along the riverbed, spot migratory Himalayan birds, or simply relax listening to the constant flow of mountain water before heading higher into the Kedarnath valley.
