About this trek

The Kedarnath trek is a popular 16–18 km one-way pilgrimage route in Uttarakhand's Garhwal Himalayas, starting from Gaurikund and climbing to the 3,583 m high Kedarnath Temple.

Kedarnath, an 8th-century, 1,200-year-old temple built from massive stone slabs, is one of the most revered Hindu pilgrimage sites in the country, dedicated to Lord Shiva and set against a dramatic amphitheatre of snow peaks.
