The Essence of Kedarnath
The Upanishads describe Lord Shiva, also known as Kedar, as the embodiment of the universe, with the sky as his head, sun and moon as his eyes, and the wind as his breath. This divine being is the essence of our itinerary, set amidst the breathtaking mountainscape of the Garhwal Himalayas.
Kedarnath Temple
Located at the head of the Mandakini River, Kedarnath Temple is one of the holiest pilgrimages for devout Hindus. Surrounded by snow-covered mountains and verdant meadows, the temple is a scenic marvel. The lofty Kedar Dome peak towers behind the temple, visible from afar.
History and Significance
Kedarnath has been a pilgrimage center since ancient times, with the temple's construction credited to the Pandava brothers from the Mahabharata. The Skanda Purana (7th-8th century) mentions Kedarnath as the place where Lord Shiva released the holy waters of Ganga from his matted hair. Adi Shankaracharya, the 8th-century philosopher, is said to have died near Kedarnath, with ruins marking his resting place.
Location and Accessibility
Kedarnath is a town in Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, approximately 86 km from Rudraprayag. The nearest road head is at Gaurikund, 18 km away.

I had the opportunity to go with JB for the Winter Spiti Ride 2020. It was wonderfully planned and executed. Although we had issues of road blockages, it was very wonderfully managed by Pankaj, the team Captain. The stay at all places were comfortable. The overall experience was very good and would definitely recommend JB

Okay..so I booked this trip from Journey basket for Chopta. Didn’t expect much from it in the beginning as I’m a traveller and like to explore new hiking destinations myself. However, to my surprise, Journey basket just flipped the perception for me. It went great and I enjoyed every bit of it.
The camps were nice and spacious with good hygiene. They were well equipped with warm beddings considering the December winters.
Our tour coordinators Pankaj, Gaurav and Ayush Balli managed the group pretty well with various group activities to indulge every individual.
We did two treks - Tungnath temple and Doriyatal trek. Treks were an ultimate fun and an amazing experience!!
Well, the best is yet to come.. Journey Basket had arranged an amazing New Years Party with DJ and dance.. One couldn’t expect much !!
Lastly, Thank you Journey Basket for this great memorable experience!
Would like to recommend this to all. Please try different treks from Journey basket, but start with Chopta!! 👍🏻😬
