Joshimath (Jyotirmath), the gateway town below Auli, is a sacred and strategic hub — home to one of the four mathas founded by Adi Shankaracharya, the Narsimha Temple, and the ancient Kalpavriksha tree. It is also the base for Badrinath and Valley of Flowers trips and the boarding point for the Auli ropeway.
