Forming the backdrop of Badrinath Dham are the twin peaks of Nar and Narayan which adds on to the picturesque beauty of this holy place. According to Hindu mythological accounts, when the peaks of Nar and Narayan implode into each other all the paths leading up to Badrinath will be completely closed off and the pilgrims wanting to offer their prayer to the lord will then be making their way to Bhavishya Badri. The temple is perched on an elevation of 3,133 metres above sea level a visit to the temple is relatively easy as compared to Kedarnath Dham, since the taxi and cars can be easily accessed and they stop in close proximity to the entrance of the temple.
