Nandprayag is a small town located at the sacred confluence of the Alaknanda River and Nandakini River. The source of Alaknanda River is Satopanth near Badrinath Dham and Nandakini River is emerging from the foot of the Nanda Devi Peak.

Nandprayag is situated at an altitude of 870mts at a distance of 18kms from Karnaprayag. Nandaprayag was once the capital of Yadu Kingdom. Raja Nanda performed yagna on a stone which was later used as the foundation of the Nand temple situated in Nandprayag. It is believed that a holy dip in the confluence of Nandprayag is capable of washing all the sins.

Nandprayag Legend and Mythology

According to myths and legends, Raja Nanda was promised the boon of Vishnu as a son. Unfortunately, the same boon was also granted to Devki, the imprisoned sister of the tyrant and cruel king, Kansa. Finally the gods found a solution to the problem which was that Vishnu would be born as Krishna to Devki but would be brought up by Raja Nanda's wife, Yasodha.

Nandprayag town also acts as the nagar panchayat of the Chamoli district of Garhwal region of Uttarakhand state. GMVN Tourist Bungalow and other budget hotels provide accommodation at affordable price.
