The Kedarnath Trek is not just a journey — it’s a soulful experience blending adventure, nature, and spirituality. Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, Kedarnath Temple stands at an altitude of 11,700 feet and is one of the holiest shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is also the highest among the revered Char Dham pilgrimage sites, making it a truly divine destination for devotees and trekking enthusiasts alike.
The trek to Kedarnath begins at Gaurikund, a small, spiritually significant town. The 16 km trail to the temple is a perfect blend of devotion and adventure. As you ascend, you’ll pass through lush green forests, picturesque valleys, and gushing waterfalls that add magic to every step.
What makes this journey even more mesmerizing is the constant company of the Mandakini River, which flows gently alongside much of the route, creating a peaceful, meditative vibe.
The trek is blessed with panoramic views of some of the most stunning Himalayan peaks, including the Kedarnath Dome, Chaukhamba, and Mandani Parbat. The snow-covered mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop to the entire journey, making it a photographer’s dream and a nature lover’s paradise.
At the end of the trail lies the ancient Kedarnath Temple, made of massive stone slabs that have withstood centuries of harsh Himalayan weather. Its architecture is simple yet profound, and the spiritual energy that surrounds it is truly palpable. Standing here, amidst the clouds and peaks, feels like being closer to the divine.

Kedarnath is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in India, especially for devotees of Lord Shiva. Located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is also a part of the famous Char Dham Yatra. The temple stands at an altitude of about 3,583 meters (11,755 feet) above sea level, surrounded by the majestic snow-covered Himalayan peaks.
The Kedarnath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is worshipped here in the form of a "hump-shaped" Jyotirlinga. According to Hindu mythology, the Pandavas from the epic Mahabharata came here to seek forgiveness from Lord Shiva after the Kurukshetra war. It is believed that Lord Shiva hid from them in the form of a bull. When found, he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface at Kedarnath. Other parts of his body appeared in different places, which are now known as the Panch Kedar – Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Madmaheshwar, and Kalpeshwar.
Reaching Kedarnath requires a combination of travel modes:
By Air: The nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun, around 238 km from Kedarnath. From there, one can travel by road to Gaurikund.
By Train: The nearest railway stations are in Rishikesh and Haridwar. From there, you can take a bus or taxi to reach Gaurikund.
By Road: Gaurikund is the last motorable point before Kedarnath. Regular buses and taxis operate from major cities like Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun.
Trek: From Gaurikund, Kedarnath is a 16 km uphill trek. Ponies, palanquins, and helicopter services are also available for those who cannot walk.
Kedarnath Temple opens to pilgrims in the month of April or May (Akshaya Tritiya) and closes around November (after Diwali). The best time to visit is from May to June and September to October. During the monsoon season (July-August), landslides and heavy rain make travel difficult, so it’s best avoided.
The weather is cold even in summer, and temperatures drop sharply at night. In winter, the area is covered in snow, and the temple is closed. Always carry warm clothes, raincoats, sturdy shoes, medicines, and a flashlight when visiting.
There are many government and private guesthouses, dharamshalas, and budget hotels available in and around Kedarnath and Gaurikund. Basic food such as rice, dal, roti, and vegetables is available. As it's a religious site, non-vegetarian food and alcohol are not allowed.
Bhairavnath Temple – Located on a hill near the Kedarnath Temple, it is dedicated to Bhairav, a fierce form of Lord Shiva believed to protect the region during winter.
Vasuki Tal – A glacial lake located 8 km from Kedarnath. It offers mesmerizing views and is ideal for trekking.
Gaurikund – A sacred hot spring and the starting point of the Kedarnath trek.
Triyuginarayan Temple – Believed to be the place where Lord Shiva and Parvati got married.
