The Journey so far-
Day 2 | 26th December, 2008 | Karn Prayag to Joshimath
After a sound sleep, it was a very sunny morning in Karn Prayag as u can see below in the pictures. Since we were extremely hungry we rushed to the nearby dhaba had some breakfast got some tea packed n some omelets… and OOPs there the news strikes n 4 broken hearts NO SNOW YET at AULI… it was disappointing to continue we got a suggestion to visit CHOPTA as it had a lot of snowfall till date..but we stuck to the PLAN :)…
Then on the route there were some eye soothing medicine of nature…
It was awesome to be down here…FULL of COLORS
More eye catchers as we climb up n up…
Irony of nature a SUN in SHADE…thinnest leaf can uphold the strongest sunlight
Beautiful scene it was…here words n pics can’t do justice….
SMOOTH n CLEAN…
First View of SNOW n eyes lit up we were heading…. And enthusiasm was back…
Some deserted hills…
OOPs what we got… 🙂 another 3-4 KMs of this.. but now we got used to it…
Some more…
Now one of us LOST the wallet in getting a thumbs-up without FIZZ… but in b/w go a chance to take some shots…n wallet was right there in the CAR itself… ;)…
What a surprise it was… THE JOGI FALL just few KMs Joshi Math…it was lovely to watch this piece of falling water… we had a photo session there n few of them you may appreciate are…
Now the LAST climb to Joshi Math
We reached Joshimath took a room again in rest house of Gharwaal Mandal which we found extremely nice… n this one didn’t disappoint us either… had lunch in their restaurant that was nice too… n from the room took some photographs…
View from the balcony was just amazing
A sudden change in climate and chances of snowfall gets higher but not realistically 🙁
This was my favorite among all on the TRIP… don’t know why but it looked just great….for so many days it was there decorating my desktop…. The beauty of AULI is that you get to see complete range of mountains not just one or two high peaks…I felt that made the place even more beautiful n I cud imagine what wud be the case when its all snow in these ranges..
Truly awesome…
First there was a thought of driving up to AULI and staying there but but something our EYES caught n we said we will use it to ascend…
Most surprising was the fact that it takes 22 minutes one side to reach Auli n having such number of viewing angles from an object hanging 100 Mtr above the ground was worth giving a shot :)… since the last booking was at 4 only so we missed and then had some walk around the market n slept in the ROOM too much… since DAY-3 was planned for AULI… by catching the first trolley at 9 AM. Soon Auli’s pics to follow, keep watching. 🙂

Srayasi, first day you can reach Rishikesh/Devprayag. Second day do Rishikesh/Devprayag to Joshimath, third day visit Auli, fourth day you can do Auli to Khirsu and finally Khirsu to Delhi on 5th day.
Hi dheeraj,
I am planning to go to Auli on 2nd Jan.
I am still confused about hiring a driver or taking a self drive car.We have experience of driving till shimla,but am not aware about the road conditions to auli.
Could you tell me if it is safe to drive.
Also I as willing to ride my bullet(remaining on car) .Is it a safe option.
Guneesh, you can take your own car, no worries on that front I believe. Park your car at Joshimath I will say in case there is too much snow on the way to Auli from there.
