You will first pass through the holiest cities in the world, Haridwar and Rishikesh, which are located in Uttarakhand. Travelers from all over the world come here to connect with the local spirituality and religious beliefs. Here, you will be able to witness a variety of religious locations. You will also be exposed to a wide range of cultural pursuits. The centre of both religious and extreme sports, including rafting (which is the most well-known), paragliding, and bungee jumping, is Rishikesh. These places have so much to discover.
Even though your first day of travel will involve a lot of driving, the breathtaking vistas along the way will keep you from ever feeling tired. Your heart and camera will both hold many memories from the entire adventure. You will always have the river by your side as you go through the several locations to get to Joshimath. We are unable to refer to this river by a single name because many rivers converge at each Prayag of Panchprayag.

The following day, you will go by taxi to Gulling Top for a distance of 12 km, after which you will hike for roughly 6 kilometers.

The third day of your trip will involve a 4 km hike to Tali Forest Camp. The hike can take five hours or so. You will begin your trip after rising early and enjoying a filling breakfast in the middle of a stunning meadow. You will visit the Tali woodlands on this walk. The hike today will be easier and more leisurely than the last one. You will undoubtedly have a great time on this excursion.
