Triyuginarayan Temple
Visit the Vishnu temple traditionally believed to be the wedding place of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
About Triyuginarayan Temple
Triyuginarayan Temple stands in Triyuginarayan village in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is traditionally associated with the divine wedding of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
According to local belief, Lord Vishnu witnessed the wedding ceremony while Lord Brahma performed the priestly rituals. The fire burning in the temple's havan kund is regarded by devotees as the continuation of the sacred wedding fire, giving the temple its name—Triyuginarayan, or the flame believed to have endured through three ages.
The temple complex also includes sacred kunds associated with this legend. Visitors should approach the site respectfully, follow temple instructions and avoid making promises about rituals or access that have not been confirmed locally.
Important location correction
Triyuginarayan is in Rudraprayag district, not Chamoli district. The route is planned through Guptkashi, Sonprayag and the Kedarnath valley.
What You Will Experience
Kedarnath Darshan
Follow a properly planned two-day trekking programme to one of Lord Shiva's most revered Himalayan shrines.
Garhwal Landscapes
Travel through river valleys, mountain towns and the Mandakini corridor on the journey from Haridwar to Guptkashi.
Spiritual Evenings
Attend Ganga Aarti in Haridwar and temple prayers where timings, access and the operating calendar allow.
6-Day Triyuginarayan Temple Tour Itinerary
Distances and driving times are approximate. Weather, pilgrimage traffic, road restrictions and local transport queues can change the daily schedule.
Day 01
Delhi to Haridwar
Depart from Delhi and travel to Haridwar. After checking in, relax at the hotel. In the evening, visit Har Ki Pauri for Ganga Aarti, subject to arrival time, local traffic and crowd-control arrangements.
Night stay: Haridwar
Day 02
Haridwar to Guptkashi or Sitapur
Travel through Rishikesh, Devprayag, Srinagar and Rudraprayag towards the Kedarnath valley. Short confluence or temple stops may be included only when road conditions and daylight permit. Check in near Guptkashi, Sitapur or the confirmed pilgrimage base.
Night stay: Guptkashi, Sitapur or nearby
Day 03
Triyuginarayan Temple Excursion
After breakfast, proceed towards Triyuginarayan village. Visit the temple, havan kund and other areas of the complex that are open to pilgrims. Spend time understanding the Shiva–Parvati wedding legend and enjoying the surrounding mountain setting.
Vehicle access, parking and any last-mile walk depend on current local traffic arrangements. Return to the hotel early enough to prepare for the Kedarnath journey.
Night stay: Guptkashi, Sitapur or nearby
Day 04
Guptkashi or Sitapur to Kedarnath
Leave before dawn and transfer to Sonprayag. Continue by authorised local transport to Gaurikund, subject to the current traffic system and queue. Begin the uphill trek to Kedarnath. Walking commonly requires 6–8 hours, but personal fitness, weather and trail congestion can increase the time.
Pony or palki services may be hired directly through authorised counters, subject to availability and government rates. After arrival, check in and visit Kedarnath Temple according to the day's darshan arrangements.
Night stay: Kedarnath in a basic hotel, lodge or camp
Day 05
Kedarnath to Guptkashi or Sitapur
Attend morning darshan when possible, then begin the descent to Gaurikund. Continue by local transport to Sonprayag and meet the designated tour vehicle at the confirmed pickup point.
Return to the hotel and rest. The programme intentionally keeps this night near the Kedarnath base instead of adding an unsafe long-distance drive.
Night stay: Guptkashi, Sitapur or nearby
Day 06
Guptkashi or Sitapur to Delhi
Depart very early and return to Delhi through Rudraprayag, Devprayag and Rishikesh. Meal and comfort stops will be taken en route. Arrival is expected late in the evening and remains subject to mountain and city traffic.
Families, senior citizens and travellers connecting to a flight or train should add a seventh day with an overnight stop in Rishikesh or Haridwar.
Kedarnath Helicopter Option
Kedarnath shuttle helicopters generally operate from authorised helipads such as Guptkashi, Phata and Sirsi. Tickets are not automatically included in this road package and must be confirmed separately through the authorised booking channel.
Do not plan a tight return connection
Helicopter services are weather-dependent and may be delayed or cancelled. Keep a recovery night in the itinerary and never schedule a non-refundable Delhi flight or train immediately after a mountain helicopter movement.
Can Badrinath Be Added?
Badrinath is not included in this six-day package. Adding it to the same itinerary would make the programme rushed and operationally unsafe after the Kedarnath trek.
Recommended 8-day programme
After returning from Kedarnath, add Guptkashi to Badrinath, one night in Badrinath, Badrinath to Rudraprayag and a final return to Delhi. Ask TravelTrek for the separate Triyuginarayan, Kedarnath and Badrinath itinerary.
