Question 7

Can I take my own car to Badrinath?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can drive your own car to Badrinath. The road is NH-7, accessible to all passenger cars.

If you prefer not to drive yourself, book a taxi with Pahadi Express and travel comfortably.

Helicopter services from Dehradun to Badrinath (with stop at Badrinath helipad) cost approximately ₹7,000–₹12,000 per person one-way, depending on the operator and season.
