Kedarnath Temple, is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva. Located on the Garhwal Himalayan range near the Mandakini river, Kedarnath is located in the state of Uttarakhand, India.

According to Hindu legends, the temple was initially built by Pandavas, and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest Hindu shrines of Shiva. Pandavas were supposed to have pleased Shiva by doing penance in Kedarnath.This temple is the highest among the 12 Jyotirlingas. What is the Speciality of Kedarnath temple? The temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva, is said to be more than 1,200 years old. It was built by Adi Shankaracharya and is among one of the 12 jyotirlingas in India. A visit to the Kedarnath temple is an integral part of the famous Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand.

Summary of distance to be traveled in this yatra.

Sonprayag to Gauri kund: 5 km , Rupees 20 per person on jeep. Gauri Kund to Kedarnath Temple : 16.5 km. Base camp is 1 km short of Shri Kedarnath temple. Garhwal mandal vikas nigam has their Guest house and tent facility at Base camp. While its not impossible to go and come back in a day to Sonprayag but difficulty level is high especially if you don’t have high energy level. Services for travel to Kedarnath Temple: You can take helicopter services that cost around 6000, this can vary between 5000 to 8000 depending upon the distance from Sonprayag. Flight time from a place near Sonprayag to Kedarnath ji is 6 to 8 minutes.
- Helipad is at a half a km from Shri Kedarnath Temple.
- If you want to hire a porter or a person with a basket or if an old person wish someone to carry him on Doli, these facilities are readily available. Pony: Yes you can travel on Pony too - charges Rs 2500 one side, if you decide to walk down and mid way feel that you need to take pony for this travel, then you can still get Pony for rest of the journey.
- In my suggestion: It’s better to walk down, only thing you should be physically fit to do this trek of 17 km, as some places the trek is steep.
- Best time to travel to Kedarnath ji - 15th August to 30th September. Avoid travel in the month of May because its crowded.


-------------- Things to carry: -------------- You can carry food, water bottle or just anything else you want to carry because food, water and everything else is expensive on the yatra route. For example a glass of Lemon water would cost Rs 20. A water bottle on the yatra route would cost Rs 50. If you want to eat Maggi it would cost Rs 80 or so.
