During the Badrinath tour, I stop at Joshimath, and during morning/evening walks I saw one plant that is found at most of the houses is – Red Roses Plants.

Yellow Daisy Flower – This photo was taken at Birla Vishramgrih in Joshimath (Uttarakhand).

It was cold in Joshimath, and I had to continue the journey till Badrinath. I thought of purchasing a jacket from a cheap winter wear shop. Deepu runs a shop selling winter wear. Yes, I had to spend 15-20 minutes to find out the jacket I liked the most, and finally, I purchased an Adidas jacket though I was sure it was not new and might be a recycled one but anyway, for me, it doesn’t matter much if it is well maintained. Price – Rs. 200 only/- after the bargain. Later upon arrival at Rishikesh, I dry cleaned it for Rs. 200 at Nanda Dry Cleaners.

Chaat Kiosk – This photo was taken at Upper Bazar in Joshimath (Uttarakhand).

Tikki Chaat (Rs. 20) , Dahi Puri (Rs. 20) I had at Pappu Chaat Bhandar. Mouth-watering, and tasty for sure.

Pappu – The Chaat Kiosk owner is from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. As per personal chaat experiences during travel, I can say in general Delhi and Uttar Pradesh is having one of the best chaat centers.

Quotes on School Wall – This photo was taken at Swami Pranavananda Vidya Mandir in Joshimath (Uttarakhand).

(Railways Computerised Reservation Centre, Joshimath – The centre is located at GMVN Tourist Rest House, Main Bazar)

The Railways Computerised Reservation Centre in smaller towns makes me very happy because to reserve a train ticket for any destination within India there are fewer queues otherwise big towns and big cities the queue is always long.

Vrindavan is another such destination in Uttar Pradesh having a Computerised Reservation Centre and Rishikesh in Uttarakhand as well. And many more locations for sure.

Aloo Gobhi – Rs. 25

Rajma Mah – Rs. 40

Tandoori Roti (four) – Rs. 20

Traveler, the destination is not far.
