Kedarnath

Perched at an altitude of 3,583 meters in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, Kedarnath Jyotirlinga is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites for Hindus and a part of the Chota Char Dham Yatra. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this ancient stone temple is believed to have been built by the Pandavas and later revived by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. Surrounded by snow-clad peaks, lush valleys, and the Mandakini River flowing nearby, the journey to Kedarnath is both spiritual and awe-inspiring. The trek to the temple is about 16 km from Gaurikund and offers breathtaking views along the way. Accessible only during the summer months (May to November), a visit to Kedarnath is a test of devotion, endurance, and faith. With its serene atmosphere, mythological significance, and majestic backdrop, Kedarnath offers a truly divine and unforgettable experience.
