Journey to Badrinath on NH 58
Riders waiting for green signal from local traffic boy
recruited by NHAI temporarily.

mountain travelers and devotees.
This picture was taken on NH 58 which starts from Mana pass, Uttarakhand to Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh covering a distance of 538 km. This location is near Devprayag in UK around 80 km from Rishikesh. The highway had lots of road blocks with broken rocks from mountains for construction of 4 lane road for seamless movement of devotees for Char Dham yatra. We started for Badrinath from Dehradun-Rishikesh-Devprayag-Srinagar garhwal-Rudraprayag-Karnprayag-Nandaprayag-chamoli-Joshimath-Vishnuprayag-govindghat-Pandukeshwar-Hanuman Chatti-Badrinath.
There were around 50-60 roadblocks on the highway due to which we took around 11.30 hrs to cover distance of 350 km in which only 42 km was plain roads, rest where beautiful, scenic, deadly & dangerous roads like you can see above photo. i will upload more pictures in my next blog of my wild mountain road journey to badrinath in the month of March 2018.
