Kedarnath and Badrinath are located in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. You can plan
the Dodham yatra from, Haridwar, Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Dehradun which is the nearest
airport, or can start from Haridwar and Rishikesh which are the closest railway stations. Do
Dham yatra with Tungnath generally completed in 6 – 7 days, Kedarnath Dham is believed to be
one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains Lord Shiva disguised
himself as a bull to avoid the Pandavas who wished to pray to him for absolution from the guilt
of killing the Kauravas, their blood relatives. On being detected by the Pandavas, Lord Shiva
plunged into the ground and only the hump of his bull body remained outside. According to
Hindu mythology, the Pandavas built a temple on this site, which later became the sacred
Kedarnath temple. Home to the sacred meditation shrine of Lord Vishnu, Badrinath Dham is
located between the majestic Narayan and Nar mountain ranges. It is one of the country’s most
revered pilgrimage sites and makes for the final leg of the Do Dham Yatra. Featuring
picturesque landscapes and an idyllic atmosphere, the place is a paradise for devotees, nature
lovers, and adventure enthusiasts. Tungnath is one of the highest Shiva temples in the world
and is the highest of the five Panch Kedar temples located in the Rudraprayag district, in the
Indian state of Uttarakhand.
