Visit Rudraprayag -one of the Panch Prayags of Alaknanda River..............suggests K.J.S.Chatrath

Rudraprayag in Uttrakhand  is one of the Panch Prayags of Alaknanda River,

Rudraprayag is named after Shiva, and the temple of Rudranath is situated at the confluence of the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers. According to mythology Narada Muni worshiped god Shiva here to learn music from him. The god then taught him music in his form of Rudra, the god of music. There used to be a rock called Narad Shila, where Narada is said to have sat in meditation. Kedarnath, is located 86 km from Rudraprayag.

 I have had the occasion to stay at Rudraprayag for the night on two separate occasions.  On one of those occassions, I was travelling with Garwhal Mandal Vikas Nigam and the road got blocked by a landslide. So we were put up in the GMVN's Hotel Rudra and we loved it.

 Here are some of the photos taken by me.

 

 

 

 

Balconies of the rooms provide an excellent and calm view.
