Adibadri is one of the famous 5 Badris (panchabadri). Adibadri is about 16 kms from Karnaprayag. We went by a shared taxi which dropped us near the bus stop. Then we walked about a kilometer to reach adibadri temple. We saw a number of small to medium temples in the temple complex. there were temples of Narayana, Shiva, Kaali, Ganesh and other gods and godesses. The temple is maintained by the archeological survey of India. We did not get any transport in the evening and paid huge amount to a taxi to drop us back to our hotel in Karnaprayag.

But the road was blocked again and again by land sliding. We could go upto Garuda ganga but no road thereafter. People were waiting on the road since 4 days. We had to spend night on a open place inside a shop alongwith many other people. Next morning we carried all our luggage and walked for 5 kilometers to reach where the road was broken. We had to climb the rocks by the side of the buldozer in order to go to the other side. Finally on the ...
