Another tourist from Alwar, Tarun, said the clean environment and fresh air made the visit memorable.

"The environment is very good. It is very pure. It is much better than the pollution we are living in. It feels like I'm finally able to breathe. I'm enjoying the rain," he said, adding that while they planned to take a holy dip in the river near Badrinath, they were also mindful of the high water levels.

Meanwhile, tourist Tapesh Bhardwaj appealed to visitors to help preserve the natural beauty of the region.

"As beautiful as this place is, it is also our responsibility to keep it that way. We should avoid littering and protect nature. It is in our hands to preserve this place as the gods have made it," he said.

The picturesque weather, coupled with the dramatic visuals of the overflowing Alaknanda River and the fog-covered Badrinath shrine, drew visitors from Rajasthan and other states to the Himalayan region. (ANI)
