Devprayag

A half-day stop on the way to Badrinath or Kedarnath: see the Ganga's birth at the confluence, then move on. One night only if you need a break from driving.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Devprayag is the sacred confluence where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers merge to form the Ganges, about two hours from Rishikesh. The town itself is small — walkable in 2–3 hours — and has limited accommodation. Most travellers visit as a day trip from Rishikesh or as a brief stop en route to higher Himalayan destinations like Badrinath or Kedarnath.

Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.

Watch out

Safety

Devprayag is safe for tourists. The main risks are monsoon landslides and slippery steps at the ghat. Keep to marked paths near the river.
  • Monsoon (Jul–Aug) can cause landslides on the Rishikesh–Badrinath highway; check road conditions before travelling.
  • The only upscale resort is in town; budget guesthouses are on the approach roads — book ahead in peak season.
  • No ATMs in the town centre; carry enough cash for meals and transport.
