Most tourists arrive here to halt before they embark further on the Char Dham journey but it it would not be fair to miss out the radiant charm and ancient history of Rudraprayag itself. Located on the convergence of the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers, It is home to many atavistic temples which are worth visiting. The Koteshwar Mahadev temple lies on the banks of Alaknanda and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is rumoured that Lord Shiva halted and meditated here while on his way to Kedarnath. Witness this mystical cave temple with sparkling drops of water dripping from its prehistoric walls. Another famous temple along the riverbank is the Chamunda Devi Temple dedicated to Lord Rudra’s wife, Chamunda.Rudraprayag’s popularity stretches much more than just its religious importance. Back in the 1920s, it was terrorized by a man-eating leopard which took the lives of over 125 people. It was finally brought down by the famed hunter Jim Corbett, a story made famous by his book ‘The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag’. Get yourself clicked at the very spot where the vicious creature was shot down, a place where you can still feel the goosebumps rising from the terror of the fallen beast.Stories aside, the district is much more than just the capital’s attractions and leopard encounters. The Deoria Tal is a pristine lake which can be reached by partaking a 3 kilometer trek from the village Sari. The surrounding dense vegetation and stillness in the air adds to the charm of the lake where you can see a 180 degree reflection of the magnificent Chaukhamba range. Overnight camps at Deoria Tal is a must as nothing beats an early morning sunrise amidst the snow-clad peaks. You can even spot the elusive Musk Deer here as the lake lies in the Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary.Further ahead is Gaurikund, another pit stop for those on the Char Dham trip. This religious site serves as base camp for the trek to Kedarnath. You can have a refreshing bath in the natural hot springs here. Legend says that this is the place where Lord Shiva admitted his affection for Goddess Parvati. Also called the Lake of Compassion, Gaurikund also serves as the backdrop of Lord Ganesha’s origin.At higher altitudes, Rudraprayag is a trekker’s paradise with amazing trek routes. At 3,680 meters, Tungnath is the highest Lord Shiva temple in the world which can be reached by embarking on a thrilling but challenging 4 kilometer trek from Chopta. The peak of Tungnath, Chandrashila can be reached by trekking another kilometer further though this short trek makes for an intense workout session. However, at the peak you will be rewarded with a visual spectacle - a 360 degree panorama view of the Himalayan range.Rudraprayag tourism has packages which cover attractions other than the ones in the Rudraprayag district. Just a few hours away is Haridwar, a holy town which hosts the Kumbha Mela. Be a part of the thousands of devotees who flock together at Har ki Pauri, a sacred bank along the Ganges river where people cleanse themselves by taking a dip in the water.
