About This Tour
Kedarnath lies at an altitude of 3584 m and is significantly popular for the presence of the temple of Lord Kedarnath (Lord Shiv). It’s a magnificent temple being built by the Pandavas at the base of the Kedarnath Peak facing the South-eastern Kedar Parvat where millions of pilgrims offer their prayers to Lord Shiva.
Kedarnath trekking makes its start from Gaurikund where there is a famous hot water sulphur spring. People take a holy bath in that spring to get freed from the fatigue of trekking and then the route takes the trekkers through the densely forests and some mesmerizing and radiant waterfalls. Trekking across Kedarnath will bring a continuous ascent along the Vasukital and brings a great trekking achievement. The trekkers can find the outstanding view of the Chaukhamba Peaks and the Mandakini Valley. The Vasukital Lake with the crystal clear waters brings the most entrancing captivation all around the Kedarnath Valley.
Kedarnath Yatra Trek 2024 Latest Update: Walking Routes Open Once Again
Walking routes to the Kedarnath Dham which had to be shut down due to the heavy rains and landslides in the region have now resumed operations. 26 days since the event, walking routes have opened back up for the devotees, who can now continue their Kedarnath Yatra to the temple. Along with the walking routes, horses and mule services have also begun simultaneously on the Gaurikund to Kedarnath route.
Landslides on the 31st July saw the erosion of a 19 km long stretch of road in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, leading to a halt in the Kedarnath Yatra. The road which was damaged in multiple places has seen repairs and removal of debris by the efforts of the district administration over the past few weeks, making it possible for the devotees to continue their pious journey to the temple of Kedarnath by foot once again.
