After proceeding to the Ganga valley to Deoprayag and along the Alaknanda to
Srinagar, it reaches
Rudraprayag, 34 km away and at an altitude of 610 Mts.(2000ft.).
The ancient Narad Muni
meditated here for several years at the temple of Rudranath, so as to attain perfection in
the science of music. Pleased with his devotion Shiva blessed Narad, granting him the
cherished wish that the sage became the repositary of shastric music. Here, in the temple,
Shiva is worshipped in the form of Rudranath. With a population of 5,000 Rudraprayag is at
the junction of the three hill districts of Pauri, Tehri and Chamoli.
