Kedarnath – A Sacred Journey to the Abode of Lord Shiva

Nestled in the majestic Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, Kedarnath is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites in India and a part of the revered Char Dham Yatra. At an altitude of 3,583 meters (11,755 ft), Kedarnath is home to the ancient Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, alpine forests, and the Mandakini River, the town offers a powerful blend of spiritual energy and natural beauty.
 

Spiritual Significance

Kedarnath Temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and holds immense importance in Hindu mythology. It is believed that the Pandavas from the Mahabharata built this temple to atone for their sins after the Kurukshetra war. Today, thousands of devotees undertake this challenging yet rewarding journey to seek blessings and experience the divine presence of Lord Shiva.
 

Highlights of Kedarnath

  • Kedarnath Temple: Built over a thousand years ago using large, grey stone slabs, this temple stands strong even amidst extreme weather. Its isolated location makes it even more awe-inspiring.

  • Gaurikund: The base camp for the Kedarnath trek and a sacred site believed to be where Goddess Parvati meditated to win Lord Shiva’s heart.

  • Bhairavnath Temple: Located near Kedarnath, this temple is dedicated to Bhairav, the fierce guardian deity of the main shrine.

Best Time to Visit

Kedarnath Temple is open only for six months—from May to November—due to heavy snowfall in the winter. The best time to visit is between May and June or September to October, when the weather is pleasant and the route is accessible.
