Destination Detail

Kedarnath, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand at 3,583 meters, is one of India’s holiest Shiva shrines and a vital part of the Char Dham Yatra. Known for its ancient stone temple built by Adi Shankaracharya and its powerful spiritual aura, Kedarnath offers a transformative journey of devotion and endurance. Pilgrims trek 18 km from Gaurikund or opt for ponies or helicopters to reach the temple, situated beside the Mandakini River. Surrounded by snow-clad peaks and steeped in mythological significance—where Lord Shiva is believed to have manifested in the form of a bull—Kedarnath is not just a destination but a profound spiritual experience, often combined with visits to Haridwar and Rishikesh for complete soul rejuvenation.
