The confluence of Alaknanda and Baghirathi river is at Dev prayag and here is where the mighty river Ganga starts. It has beautiful view of both the rivers merging and everyone would love this sight. The water is very clear and clean. To reach devprayag from rishikesh, you can take a bus early morning from the bus stand around 6-7 am and reach in about 4 hours time. Checkout the pictures taken by my camera.
Devprayag - Gangas birthplace - Confluence of Alaknanda & BhagirathiTake bath carefully as flow of river is high and there are almost nill security measures.DONT risk your life going too far or deep in river.Park car along roadside and take downstairs to the confluence. You will notice small market in midway, where you can purchase things at nominal price.Pandits may ask for Dakshana, which is not mandatory. Keep your belongings safe from pickpockets as well.
Marked by the confluence point of rivers Alaknanda and Bhagirathi, Devprayag is a religious hub and is quite popular among tourists coming for pilgrimage or seeking some solitude close to nature.Dotted with ancient temples and idols amidst the lush green surroundings, this place is a very beautiful and serene place. It derives much of its religious significance from the dynamic and vibrant natural elements that surround it such as the rivers. Dasharathachal Peak, Chandrabadani temple and Raghunathji temple are among some of the popular attractions here.At a distance of 75 kms from Rishikesh and 326 from delhi.Best for weekend getaway while covering Rishikesh.
Most beautiful and enlight place. One must visit this place. It is one of the Panch Prayag (five confluences) of Alaknanda River where Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers meet and take the name Ganga. Will suggest to go there by personal or hired vehical. Dont rely on public transportation there.
Great view of sangam
It is the confluence of the Bhagirathi and the Alalkananda . It seems as if bith the rivers bifurcated the Himalayan ranges and mingled into one trench . Bith the currents mingled into one and headed down towards the south . The Bhagirathi is somewhat like a sportive girl that loves to run and jump . On the other hans the Alakananda is calm and quiet . The water of the Alakananda is green and that of the Bhagirathi is soily green. Thre are beautiful small town on tne both slopes of the confluence, very picturesque as if the houses and the hotels are meticulously placed on the slopes of the mountains. A temple with Hindu deity of Shiva can be found on the Ghat of the confluence. Hundreds of peopl can be found bathing, worshipping and offering foods ti their ancestors . Thre is a terrace overlooking the confluence and the natural scenery. Its a worth visiting palace .
Lord Rama temple and rudra prayaga are the main spots to visit. The view of the nature and city are simply amazing

You can see the merging of two Rivers bhagirathi and alaknanda here, the whole experience is very beautiful.
Dev Prayag is famous for Sangam of two rivers Alaknanda and Bhagirathi...
Very nice place where Alaganantha and Baherathi rivers meets together before forming Ganga.
Holy Place of Sangam of two river Alaknanda and Bhagirathi
Devaprayag is spiritual town located on the meeting point of holy river Bhagirathi and Alakhananda.Both river having different water colour can be observed clearly. Alot of temple and worshiped place are here. This town is located on the slop of hill but never distorted due to land slide or earth quack.
Nice place
Beautiful place, one of its own kind two rivers meeting at a point looks so beautiful that youll fall in love with this place
Didnt actually visited this place but had a glimpse of it while going to Kedarnath and coming back from there.Just divine and magical place when the biggest river of Bharat The Ganga comes in form. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙂Long Live Ganga. ❤Do keep it healthy. 🙏🏻🙂🙂
Clearly visible sangam
Peaceful place 🙏🙏
Holy place to take bath in first hand Ganges.😊
Calm and serene describe this place the most. You need to take steps to reach the Ghat which are steep at places so its difficult for the elderly or those who are unable to walk to reach here.
Its an amazing place in Devprayag, where Sangam of Bhagirathi & Alaknanda rivers, which lead to formation of holy Ganges river. The view is amazing since a river which has green water merges into another river with brown water, coming from 2 different origins merging to form Ganges river. This is basically a holy place, with temples and nice views to offer. Not much commercialised hence you wont find fancy restaurants, eateries or options as such. But a peaceful & beautiful place nonetheless for ones who prefer exploring someplace new than usual hill stations they visit.
A sacred place where Alakananda and Bhagirathi meets and Ganga originates
Bhagirathi & AlaknandaMighty DevPrayag 🚩♥️
People should visit only the designated Ghats to take bath or collect water and should be very careful else it might lead to accidents.

Its one of the 5 prayags in uttarakhand and first in count while coming from rishikesh to srinagar. Its a sangam place of alaknada and bhagirathi river,after which they are called the Ganga. Its a holy river of hindus and we worship Ganga river as one of our goddesses. After devprayag , the ganga reaches to another holy place Rishikesh and after that it reaches to the Haridwar
Gorgeous views. Feel the Devine
Nice place full of temples, and mixing of two big rivers very peaceful and beautiful view, the water of two separate rivers mix and make a big river.
River Ganga started from Devprayag.
Devprayag is one of the 5 prayags i.e. sangams in Uttarakhand. Here the calm Alaknanda river meets the furious Bhagirathi river to form the legendary Ganga river. You can easily see the difference in color and flow of the two merging rivers.Please note that the Tehri Dam is located upstream of this place and when it releases some water, the water level at Devprayag increases relatively quickly.
Very good
Splendid view..
Sangam alaknanda and bhagirath river
Supercooled water bath with ganga blessings
Uttrakhand is full of spiritual and devotional place... Must visit once in a lifetime.
Very soothing place.
Heaven on earth
Memories from a not so distant summerIts been smooth cruising through Rishikesh and Srinagar. Devprayag, the confluence of River Alaknanda and Bhagirathi makes a grand appearance. Situated at an altitude of 2723 feet, it is the place where both the rivers ( Alaknanda and Bhagirathi) joins to form the most celebrated river of the world, Ganga. There are a few things on the earth as graceful as a confluence of two mighty rivers joining to form a third giant. It is a delightful and fascinating sight to watch the Bhagirathi ( much clear water and heavy flow) and Alaknanda ( not so clear water with lesser flow) mingling to form the Ganga that flows majestically through sculptured channels carved through the rocks. The most important temple at Devprayag is the temple of Raghunathji, which was first constructed by the Maharaja of Tehri Garhwal. The temple is 80 ft high with a tall image of Lord Vishnu made of black granite. Sri Vishnu and Sri Raghunath ji are two names of the same ultimate One.
Sangam of two rivers Alaknanda & Bhagirathi which merge to form river Ganga. Devprayag is one of the five Prayags or Sangams or confluences others being Rudraprayag, Karnprayag, Vishnuprayag & Nandprayag.Two merging rivers have different colours & the scene of merging waters is great.
Divine experience
