Set in the Garhwal Himalayas beside the Mandakini river, Kedarnath is among the most revered Shiva shrines in India. The present temple is attributed to Adi Shankaracharya, built upon an even older site, and remains open only for roughly six months each year when the passes are clear of snow.
Reaching the temple is itself part of the yatra — a roughly 16 km trek from Gaurikund, or a helicopter transfer for those who prefer.
Kedarnath is the highest of the Panch Kedar and one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Pilgrims believe darshan here, in the presence of Lord Shiva amid the mountains, brings profound peace and the fulfilment of the Char Dham journey.
