Your beautiful journey towards Ali Bedni Bugyal will begin today. Today we will drive from Rishikesh to Lohajung.

On your way to Lohajung, you will cross three of the Panch Prayags, Devprayag, Rudraprayag and Karnaprayag. The Prayags are formed by confluence of the sacred rivers with Alaknanda. Devprayag is the most famous one among these, it is where Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet to form the holy River Ganga, that flows down through Rishikesh.
As you pass each Prayag you can witness the changing turns of the Alaknanda river. Enjoy the drive with beautiful views, you can see the views changing as you get closer to Lohajung.
As you reach Lohajung you will be greeted with a beautiful view of the Nanda Ghunti Peak. Lohajung is more of a small market area, you can buy essentials here if you need any, but do not fully rely on the market.
There is an interesting folklore revolving around the naming of the village. The locals say that Goddess Parvati had a war (jung) with a demon named Lohasur here and hence the naming of the village.

In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.
