at 7. Descend is relatively easy and we move in pace . At 11 AM we reached Govindghat, now the plan is to look
for our drivers. Mohit looked for all 3 parking but failed to locate.
So we headed for bus station ,which is half-a-mile. At the Bus station we saw our driver , they refused to
carry us to Badrinath so we offload all our luggage and took some necessary items in a bag and headed
for a private carrier who can take us to Badrinath . One can easily find public transport.We reached badrinath
at 1:45, people told the shrine is closed and will open at 3 PM, so we quickly decided for Mana.
After some bargain a taxi decided to take us & back in Rs 200 .

Legends says that when Pandavas along with Drapadi passing , River Saraswati stops Draupadi to pass accusing her of being not poius( married to 5 men) . Then Bheema put a single rock making the way for Draupadi. The massive rocky structure can tell how strong Bheema was !

Legends says that when Vyas was concentrating on narrating Mahabharat to Ganesha a sudden spurt of water (Saraswati) break Vyas concentration, and cursed saraswati to disaapear forever.
Thats why we have mystery behind river saraswati till date.
