Kedarnath, the sacred town nestled in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India is one of the four sacred Char Dham sites and a popular pilgrimage destination for Hindus worldwide. But more than that, it is a place of serene natural beauty, adventure, and spirituality.
The journey to Kedarnath from Haridwar is an adventure in itself, offering scenic views, natural hot springs, and a challenging trek to reach the holy town. The journey starts with a drive from Haridwar to Guptkashi, where you can witness the holy town of Devprayag, the confluence of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers, and take in the stunning views of the rivers meeting.
The 16 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath is a challenging one, but the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys make it all worthwhile. En route, you can visit the ancient Triyuginarayan temple, where Lord Shiva and Parvati are said to have got married, and witness the sacred eternal flame.
As you reach Kedarnath, you will be welcomed by the holy town’s peaceful atmosphere and its numerous temples, including the Kedarnath temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Take a dip in the holy waters of the Mandakini river, which flows by the town of Kedarnath, and explore the town’s narrow lanes and ancient architecture.
The journey to Kedarnath is a rewarding experience not only for religious reasons but also for its natural beauty and adventure. The trek to Kedarnath offers stunning views of the Himalayan range and the opportunity to witness the magnificent sunrise and sunset over the mountains.
So, Let’s connect with nature, reflect on life’s purpose, and embrace spirituality. Let’s take on the challenge, make memories, and experience the serenity, spirituality, and natural beauty of Kedarnath together.

The best and ideal time for visiting Kedarnath Dham is from April month when upon the arrival of Akshay Tritiya the entryway of the sanctuary opens. So from April to May and again from September to October and after October when the Bhai Dooj/Dwitiya celebration is on set this is the point at which the entryway of the sanctuary shuts once more. While in the middle of this current month sanctuary stays open yet because of precipitation in June and July because of the avalanche, yatra gets uneasy.
