About Shri Kedarnath Dham Temple Yatra

One of the sacred pilgrimages for people of Hinduism, Kedarnath Temple is located on the banks of the Mandakini River in Uttarakhand in the district of Rudraprayag. Historically known as Kedar Khand, the temple is situated at a height of 3,568 metres above sea level in front of the picturesque Himalayas and provides breathtaking views of vistas all around. Shri Kedarnath Dham is treated as the most important one of the 200 Lord Shiva shrines in our country and the auspicious journey to this temple is known as Kedarnath Yatra, which attracts flocks of tourists, devotees and trekkers every year.

It is one of the Panch Kedar Temples, which include four more shrines such as Madhmaheshwar, Tungnath, Rudranath and Kalpnath. As per the history of Shri Kedarnath Dham Temple, it is believed that after the Pandavas (characters from the epic Mahabharata) won the war of Kurukshetra they sought redemption from Lord Shiva. But he eluded him in the Himalayas by taking the form of a buffalo. Pandavas caught some glimpses of Lord Shiva in a few religious places in the Himalayas, of which Kedarnath was one of them where the hump of the buffalo was seen. As the shrine is located in the Garhwal Himalayas, it only remains open till autumn and during winters, the idol is carried down to Ukhimath, which is located on the lower terrains.

In general, Kedarnath opening & closing dates start on May 1st week and end in October last week, respectively. However, the best time to visit Kedarnath Dham is from April to June and September to October, except for the monsoon. Kedarnath Darshan remains closed during winters, from November to March due to snowfall.
