KEDARNATH DIARIES

 

 

 



My visit to Kedarnath..Its like a dream come true. Kedarnath is one of the most sacred Char Dhams Kedarnath holds such religious signifance in India for Hindus. I reached Guptkashi at around 12:00 pm. Reaching Kedarnath Temple is nt a difficult task. However the trek that leads to the main temple was abit tiring and one testing task. If you are an adventure junkie, you are surely gonna love it. I landed in New Delhi I took a bus to reach Dehradun which is about 260 km from Delhi. Then from there I took a bus to Kedarnath. The distance between Haridwar and Kedarnath is around 125 km.



 Standing at an altitude of 3585 m above sea level ,Kedarnath , a pristine town in Uttrakhand is guided by the mighty peaks of the Great Himalayas. Devotees flock to Kedarnath to pay a visit ancient shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva who is the protector of the world. I reached there at Gaurikund is the starting point of the trek to Kedarnath temple. These days people are very crazy for the helicopter rides to kedarnath shrine. Most of the helicopter service provider are based at Phata a distance of 15 km away from Guptkashi.

 



 The trekking route is approx 15km long from Gaurikund to Kedarnath Temple. The route is covered by few stops where I got decent accomodation as well as foods. Moving ahead I was amazed to see the waterfall on the trek. As it a monsoon season there were few people otherwise this place is full of devotees. The trek path is narrow . So here the trip ends. Kedarnath is auitable for 2 kinds of people either for devotees or for trekkers. Visit this amazing place you are surely gonna fall in love with this place
