Overview & Itinerary

Kedarnath Yatra takes pilgrims to the heart of Uttarakhand, Garhwal Himalayas in India, which achieves a height of 3,583 meters (11,755 ft) above sea level. This pilgrimage has intense religious significance, such as Kedarnath Holmes, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, which is reverence by supporters of Lord Shiva. The adventure usually begins in Gurikund, where vehicles reach, and continues with a sixteen km trek with rivers, waterfalls, and alpine forests. The old Kedarnath temple is believed to have been built by the Pandavas in the eighth century, and stands as a symbol of love among the snowy peaks. The temple is open from April to November, welcoming pilgrims who are looking for non-special comfort in its quiet environment, perfect for trips due to safe walking conditions in the summer season.

Badrinath Yatra, located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand at a height of 3133 meters, is the pilgrimage to all other important travel sites in the Char Dham. This sacred site is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, especially as Badrinath, which is quoted in ancient Hindu writings and has a deep religious significance. The pilgrims perform an adventure for Badrinath, a divine eyewitness to the drops of the Royal Himalaya and the discovery of the background. The temple is famine for its structure and religious atmosphere, reflecting dedication and travelers. The road provides a mix of available roads, Badrinath, cultural background, and herbal enthusiasm, and is a destination for those who do not discover specific taxes in Uttarakhand.
