Visitors may access this location via bus services offered by the Uttarakhand government and private taxi service from Dehradun, Rishikesh and Haridwar. It offers a perfect blend of tranquil environment and holy shrines. The word ‘Chamoli’ is derived from the Sanskrit word chandramoli, which means ‘one who wears the moon on the head,’ symbolizing Lord Shiva. From this place, you can also visit Gopeshwar, the main city of Chamoli, and via Pipalkoti, you can visit the two holy shrines Hemkund Sahib and Badrinath Shrine.
