If you are driving from Delhi to Badrinath, you are in for some really satisfying roadside food. Haridwar is your first proper stop and the dhabas near Har Ki Pauri serve excellent aloo puri and chai in the mornings. Once you cross Rishikesh, the options get simpler but heartier. Devprayag and Rudraprayag both have small local dhabas where dal, rice and sabzi taste incredibly fresh after hours on the road.
Near Chamoli, look for small stalls selling Garhwali dishes like kafuli and mandua roti — very local, very real. Joshimath has a few sit-down places that serve hot maggi and thali before the final stretch to Badrinath.
Most groups travelling this route book a tempo traveller on rent in Delhi so everyone rides together and stops freely at these spots without worrying about time.
