Shivji first concealed himself at Guptkashi, but later fled from them further up the valley to Kedarnath, where the Pandavas finally got their wish fulfilled. There are more tangible connections as well-the Kedarnath pandas (priests) live in Guptkashi during the winter months, and after the Kedarnath temple closes for the winter, the image of Kedarnath passes through Guptkashi on its way to Ukhimath (across the valley), where it stays for the winter.

According to legend, the Pandavas after having won over the Kaurava in the Kurukshetra war, felt guilty of having killed their own brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his manifestations.

Kedarnath Trek is undoubtedly a sacred trip to visit the Lord in His glorious form. The 1200 years-old Kedarnath temple, renowned as the holy pilgrimage site for the Hindus, offers peace amidst the moraine Chorabari glacier in the mighty Garhwal Himalayas. It climaxes in the spiritual sight of one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. It is a must-visit to immerse in the divinity of the Kedarnath temple painted with the efflorescent marigold garlands, splendid architecture, and a touch of spirituality. Throughout the trek, one can hear nothing but the chanting of the Lord, which creates a sense of pure bliss and tranquility. Kedarnath Yatra is the last stop in the Haridwar and Rishikesh visits due to the less Haridwar to Kedarnath distance while creating an exhilarating experience with the mythological anecdotes of Mahabharatha. You cannot but wonder at the Lord's ways of residing in a remote place, away from the city's hustle amidst the calm mountains and the rich flora and fauna! It fills you with a spectrum of emotions while hiking along with thousands of devotees donned in saffron and Rudraksha. From the top, one can spot the glorious Kedarnath peak with the beautiful backdrop of the blue skies engulfed by the misty clouds. The trail offers some innate beauty of the several mountain peaks nestled in the bounty of nature and keeps one's eyes hooked to the photogenic vistas.
One of the prominent tourist attractions among the four holy sites (Char Dham Yatra), the Kedarnath trek commences from Gaurikund with the temperature dropping to 5°C as you advance through the camping sites of Jungle Chatti, Bheem Bali, and Linchauli that takes you to one of the five abodes of Lord Shiva. The breathtaking views of mountains from Linchauli will nudge you to live in the mountains in quietness. One glance at Kedarnath images in their full glory during the winter is a once-in-lifetime experience you don't want to miss. The view of Mount Kedarnath (6940 m) from the dense forests is heavenly. The total ascent rolls from easy to moderate level, most of the trail engulfed in snow, and the visual delight of the celestial aura eclipse the fatigue from the hike. The changing weather and the color palettes of nature in a jiffy make the trail worth exploring with a contrasting backdrop of the pristine white snow and the fresh patch of green meadows. The Kedarnath trek distance is 18 km, but it feels like a second when surrendering at the lotus feet of Lord Shiva and singing hymns at the early morning prayers and the temple Aarti.
The Kedarnath trek is often an eight-day tour, depending on the itinerary you choose. If one decides to start from Haridwar, you can cover the scenic landscapes in Haridwar, Guptakashi in the Kedarnath Yatra. The actual trek begins from Gaurikund (1982 m) with various camping sites amidst nature's manifestation of beauty. The trek from Gaurikund is allowed only between 4:00 AM till 1:30 PM every day, and hence ensure you plan well before enjoying a fulfilling trip. The Gaurikund to Kedarnath trail is steep and requires high physical and mental strength before starting the trek. Kedarnath Trek difficulty level ranges from easy to moderate, and hence anyone between the age of 7 to 65 years with good physical fitness can make it to the top. Don't miss your daily workouts as a head start before four months of the trek. If you are an amateur in trekking, you can practice breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom to sustain high-altitude climatic conditions. However, there are alternative facilities like Palki, Doli, mules, and ponies for completing the Yatra. Pregnant women, people with hip and knee injuries, and heart problems must avoid this trek to prevent fatalities. The Kedarnath trek package ranges between USD 160 to 175 (INR 12000 to 13500) per person for eight days with accommodation and food. However, most tourists prefer Do Dham and Char Dham Yatra often. Since the Kedarnath to Badrinath distance is around 243 km, the Do Dham yatra package is between USD 450- 470 ( INR 34,000- 36,000). While googling the Kedarnath Trek best time, people suggest that Summer (April-June) and Winter (September-October) is the most recommended time of the year. Since the weather is moderate, you can enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the Himalayan peaks and the tiny rivulets, creating a celestial view from the top. In the monsoon season, the weather becomes unpredictable, and the incessant rainfall creates landslides and flash floods that wreak havoc in the region. However, the winter season holds a natural liking in the hearts of hikers. The surreal landscapes in the dipping Kedarnath temperature is a dream-come-true scenario. Welcoming winter at the top of the mountains tests your endurance to cold temperature and flags off for an adventurous trek. While embarking on this trek, you need proper travel gear such as hiking shoes, a pair of thick woolen socks, gloves, and thermal wear. Carry warm clothes and thick scarfs/towels to sustain the beating weather. Women must avoid wearing sarees to this trek, as it can cause discomfort with the gusting wind from all directions. In addition to that, you must equip yourself with daily essentials like a backpack (50-60 lt), caps, earplugs, cotton, raincoats, masks, umbrella, water bottle, jackets, a poncho, and gumboots. Your toiletries must include moisturizers, sunscreen, lip salve, toilet papers, wet tissues, sanitary napkins/menstrual cups for women, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair shampoo, soap, and plastic covers to avoid disposing of waste outside. The trek manifests itself as the epitome of changing colors of the sky and nature, and your backpack is incomplete without electronic items like spare batteries, a camera, tiny gimbal, power banks, and chargers. Carry essential medical kits like first aid tablets for vomit/fever/cold/menstrual cramps/ sprains.
Kedarnath trek is easy to moderate, and beginners with high fitness can make the trek.
Kedarnath trek package starts from USD 160 to 175 (INR 12000 to 13500) per person for an eight-day trip.
The best time to embark on the Kedarnath trek is between May-June and September-October since the sun is comparatively less harsh and the weather is calm.
