3-star hotels in Rudraprayag
This shortlist gathers 3-star hotels in Rudraprayag, from riverside lodges to guesthouses on the Kedarnath and Badrinath routes. It is for travellers who want a mid-range base in the town or a stopover on the Char Dham pilgrimage, whether they arrive as couples, families or business guests.
Staying in Rudraprayag
Rudraprayag is a pilgrim and river town in Uttarakhand, known for the meeting of the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers and the Rudranath Temple, and for the spot where Jim Corbett shot the man-eating leopard in 1926. Visitors come for the confluence, the temple, and as a stop on the road to Kedarnath and Badrinath. The 3-star hotels here sit in several parts of the district: around the town centre and the bus stand and market, along Kedarnath Road, along Badrinath Road towards the Alaknanda valley, and up in Ukhimath, a nearby winter seat of Kedarnath with the Omkareshwar Temple.
Couples and pilgrims on a short break will find the town-centre and Kedarnath Road addresses convenient for the temple and the bus stand, while the Ukhimath and Guptkashi properties suit those heading further up the Kedarnath route. Families with children have options with family rooms, a garden and a playground, and business travellers can pick hotels with a business centre. Most hotels sit a few kilometres from the centre, so a car or taxi is useful for the last stretch.
