Joshimath
Joshimath, also known as Jyotirmath, is a town in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, situated at an altitude of about 1,890 meters. It serves as an important spiritual and pilgrimage gateway to several Himalayan destinations such as Badrinath, Hemkund Sahib, and Auli.
The town is home to one of the four cardinal monasteries established by Adi Shankaracharya, making it a significant religious center. Surrounded by rivers, forests, and valleys, Joshimath offers opportunities for trekking, adventure, and spiritual experiences.
Recently, the town has been affected by land subsidence and geological instability due to its location on a fragile glacial moraine combined with increased construction and road widening, leading to concerns over safety and plans for relocation. Despite the challenges, Joshimath remains a vital hub for pilgrims and tourists exploring the Himalayas.
