Badrinath Dham, one of the most sacred Char Dham pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand, attracts lakhs of devotees every year. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Badrinath Temple is nestled in the lap of the Himalayas along the Alaknanda River at an altitude of about 10,827 feet (3,300 meters).
If you’re planning to visit Badrinath in 2025, it’s important to know the Badrinath Temple opening and closing dates, along with weather updates, darshan timings, and travel details.
The Badrinath Temple is expected to close on 21 October 2025, a few days after Diwali. The closing ceremony is performed with great devotion and Vedic rituals.
On this day, the idol of Lord Badri Vishal is moved to Narad Kund, where special winter prayers are offered.
The exact date of the Badrinath Dham closing ceremony is announced by the temple committee on Vasant Panchami (February), based on astrological calculations.
Until then, devotees can plan their yatra considering that the temple generally remains open for six months — from April/May to October/November.
The Badrinath Temple will open in late April 2025, likely around 30 April, on the auspicious day of Akshay Tritiya. This marks the official start of the Char Dham Yatra 2025 season in Uttarakhand.
During this time, pilgrims from across India and abroad visit Badrinath Dham to seek blessings of Lord Vishnu.
