The primary reason to stop in Srinagar Garhwal is the Dhari Devi Temple 19 km toward Badrinath, one of the most unusual and atmospheric religious sites on the pilgrimage circuit. The town's own temples — Kamleshwar, Kamsmardani, and Raghunath — are worth visiting. The Alaknanda Valley offers river scenery, and white-water rafting is available on the river. Pauri town, the district headquarters in the hills above, has panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks.
