Day 01: Arrival at Delhi
Up on arrival at Delhi airport met our representative and then transfer to hotel for overnight stay.

Day 02: Delhi – Rishikesh (225 Kms/ 6 – 7 hrs drive)
In the morning after breakfast drive to Rishikesh. On the way visit Haridwar covering Har-ki-Peri, to witness the famous Aarti of holy Ganges after that drive to Rishikesh. On arrival check in to hotel. Evening free to explore the area on your bike. Overnight stay at hotel.  

Day 03: Rishikesh – Devprayag (65 kms)
In the morning set out with your bikes up to Devprayag. Its Confluence of Alaknanda & Bhagirathi, from Devprayag the Holy River Ganges started. Overnight stay at Guest House.
Devprayag is set on the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers and is considered to be one of the 'Panch prayag'. From Devprayag onwards, the river is known as Ganga. The town lies on the Rishikesh to Badrinath route about 87 kms from Narendra Nagar. There are suspension bridges on the Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda. It is also the seat of the pandas (priests) of the Badrinath Dham.
It is believed that the town is named after Deosharma, a sage, who led a life of penance here and succeeded in having a glimpse of God. Devprayag, meaning "holy confluence", is essentially the site of the beginning of the Ganges River. The Ganges begins with the confluence of two streams here, and its considered a place of powerful natural forces as well as spiritual forces. Devprayag is a popular destination for Hindu pilgrimages.
Religious ablutions take place at two basins excavated in the rock at the junction of the holy streams. One on the Bhagirathi known as the Braham Kund and the other on the Alaknanda called the Vashisth Kund.

Day 04: Devprayag – Rudraprayag (68 kms)
Today we will ride our bikes up to Rudraprayag via a hill town Srinagar. Overnight stay at tourist rest house.
Rudraprayag, named after Lord Shiva (Rudra), Rudraprayag is situated at the holy confluence of Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers, at a distance of 34 kms. from Srinagar(Garhwal). The meeting of the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers has a unique beauty of its own and it seems as if two sisters were embracing each other. It is believed that to master the mysteries of music, Narad Muni worshipped Lord Shiva, who appeared in his Rudra Avatar (incarnation) to bless Narad. The Shiva and Jagdamba temples are of great religious importance.
        Till recently, Rudraprayag was a part of district Chamoli and Tehri. In 1997, the Kedarnath Valley and parts of district Tehri & Pauri were conjoined to form Rudraprayag as a new district.
      The entire region is blessed with immense natural beauty, places of religious importance, lakes and glaciers.

Day 05: Rudraprayag – Ukhimath (45 kms)
In the morning after breakfast we will ride the bikes up to Ukhimath via Tilwara. On arrival check in tourist rest house. Overnight stay.
Ukhimath (1370 mts/4500 ft) is on the other side of the Mandakini River Valley from Guptkashi a relatively short steep walk by foot, or a much longer way by road.  Ukhimath is the winter seat of Kedarnath, as well as the winter home of the priest who presides over his worship.  After the Kedarnath temple closes for the winter, a movable image of Kedarnath is brought in procession to Ukhimath, where it resides until the Kedarnath temple reopens in late April or early May.

This picture shows the outer gateway to the temple complex, which is not only brightly painted and decorated, but two full stories tall (the wall also serves as the back wall of buildings inside).  The stones piled at lower left were for some sort of construction project, which was in full swing when I visited (since summer is the "slow" season ritually speaking, it made sense for the place to be torn up them.  And the nearby buildings are clearly residential, since a young girl is visible at upper right.
