Where Alaknanda meets Bhagirathi to form Ganga
Why this weekend?
The day-by-day plan

- Temple visit
- Bridge walks
- Onward to Rishikesh
Geography & terrain
Devprayag lies in the Garhwal hills of Uttarakhand at 450 m, 70 km from Rishikesh and 90 km from Dehradun — the sacred confluence where the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi rivers meet to form the Ganga, the town's terraced lanes set in the gorge below the pine ridges.
History & culture
The town's sanctity runs to the Puranas — one of the five prayags of the Garhwal hills, with the Raghunath temple's legend of the sacred image enshrined by the river; the confluence ghat where the Ganga begins and the town's pilgrim history along the route to Kedarnath and Badrinath give Devprayag its place in the Himalaya's holy geography.

Practical tips

- The monsoon swells the rivers and cuts the ghat hours — the Oct–Apr season
- The morning light holds the meeting of the waters best
