neelkanth-7272 Badri is the place where gods live according to many in India . If you go to Badri and just visit surrounding shopping complexes  and the temple,  don’t feel you visited heaven ! you just missed visiting the heaven ! You missed the heaven in the  sheer nature around Badri and you will feel sorry for ever. Gods do not live in temple according to me. They live in nature. People just cannot stand in nature so they built temple around the god. Now you have a temple you need people so that many can make money and live. Now you have complexes, resorts, hotels , restaurants and all other kinds of leisure to entertain people!

We walked quite far behind Badri towards the great Mt Neelkanth . Hope these photos explain the kind of heaven I am talking about .

A alpha bull walked on glacier and fell in the valley . The ice broke with large sound and literally scared us as we were photographing below it . Soon a villager came with sad face and asked us to help to pull his bull out but we reminded him that we are not as strong as him! But we did try to make way to his bull but without success. Bull was so shocked and was not ready to move. VIllager said he will go back and get some people but he was not hopeful people would come and help him as it is quite far here . After we came back to Badri when sharing with some people they said the bull is going to die as he cannot withstand the cold that night.
