About the drive
Badrinath is 320 kilometres from Haridwar, the longest single-shrine drive on the Char Dham circuit, following the Alaknanda through Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Chamoli and Joshimath. The road is in reasonable condition and the temple is directly accessible by vehicle — no trek at all, which makes this the Dham that works for every age group.
We do not attempt it in one day. The standard is to break the drive at Joshimath or Pipalkoti, reach Badrinath by late morning the next day, and stay the night there rather than turning straight around. Badrinath after the day buses leave is a different town entirely, and the sunrise on Neelkanth from a hotel terrace is worth the extra night on its own.
The trip naturally includes Tapt Kund, the hot spring below the temple where pilgrims bathe before darshan, and Mana village three kilometres further up — the last village before the Tibet border, with Bhim Pul over the Saraswati and Vyas Gufa. Keen walkers can carry on to Vasudhara Falls.

Haridwar to Badrinath — your questions
No. The road runs to within a few hundred metres of the temple.
We strongly advise against it. Ten to eleven hours of mountain road each way is unsafe as a single-day return.
Roughly late April or early May to mid-November, closing for winter when the deity moves to Joshimath.
