The Devine kedarnnath yatra

Kedarnath Yatra — A Divine Pilgrimage to the Abode of Lord Shiva

Kedarnath Temple, perched at ~3,583 m in the Garhwal Himalayas beside the sacred Mandakini River, is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and a key stop on the revered Chota Char Dham circuit  Built by the Pandavas and later revived by Adi Shankaracharya, it stands as a timeless symbol of devotion and spirituality

Highlights of the Yatra

  • Spiritual Essence: Seek blessings at the majestic Kedarnath Temple, believed to cleanse sins and bring inner peace, prosperity, and spiritual liberation in the Kali Yuga

  • Scenic Trekking Route: Begin from Gaurikund and walk or take a pony/palki on a 16 km trail through emerald valleys, rugged terrain, and the rushing Mandakini River beneath snow‑tipped peaks

  • Other Sacred Stops: Explore Gaurikund hot springs, Bhairon Temple, Triyuginarayan Temple, Vasuki Tal, and Chorabari (Gandhi Sarovar) Tal to enrich your pilgrimage
