Kedarnath Yatra

The Kedarnath Temple is devoted to Lord Shiva and is deemed to have been develoved by Adi Sankaracharya. The magnificence of the temple can be considered by the fact that it is one of the twelve jyotirlingas (Lord Shiva Temples); there in the country. The temple remains open only for an era of six months, due to heavy snowfall in the wintry weather months. Testing the fervour and devotion of the pilgrims, we cannot reach to the temple directly by road. From Gaurikund there is 14km track that has to be completed by foot.
