Tungnath, Uttarakhand

Named after Lord Shiva (Rudra), Rudraprayag is situated at the confluence of Alaknanda and Mandakani rivers. Located at a distance of about 141 km from Rishikesh, Ruraprayag is where it is said Lord Shiva performed his famous Tandav Nritya and played his Rudra-Veena here. With his Raga-Raganees he compelled Lord Vishnu to appear in front of him. The music of his veena turned Lord Vishnu to water. The entire region is blessed with immense natural beauty and places of religious importance. Pawan Hans Helicopter Services operates a daily flight to Kedarnath and to Agastya Muni which is about 14 km from here.
