Why go to Joshimath

An old monastic town, the Narsingh temple and the Auli ropeway. The town below Auli, a winter seat of the Badrinath shrine and the gateway to the upper Garhwal valleys.

Is it worth it?

If you have three days in Auli, Joshimath fits in as a relaxed day trip without cutting into the city. With two days, we'd keep to Auli itself.
