The Badrinath Temple is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Uttarakhand and a major part of the Char Dham Yatra. Every year, thousands of devotees visit Badrinath during the summer and autumn pilgrimage season before the temple doors are closed for the winter months.

If you are planning a late-season Badrinath Yatra, one of the most important things to know is the Badrinath Kapat Closing 2026 date.

For 2026, the exact closing date is expected to be announced around Vijayadashami/Dussehra on 20 October 2026. Until the official announcement by the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC), travellers should treat dates circulating online as tentative.
