Kedarnath, one of the twelve Jyotirlinga is located 3,583 metres above sea level. Built at a great altitude with mountains filled with ice around, just to get to this historic temple is a journey of faith and perseverance. The trek to kedarnath through gaurikund is an exciting one and covers around sixteen kilometres to reach kedarnath and once in kedarnath you feel elated. Organised helicoptering is also offered for those who would want to avoid a tiring hike.



Finally, located on the shoreline of the Alaknanda River, Badrinath does form the last part of the Char Dham yatra. The temple lies about Lord Vishnu and charms people with its features and stunning silence. The road way to Badrinath is very attractive with scenic view of the rivers, valley and beautiful villages. Mana, the nearby village which is the last Indian village before entering Tibet bring the cultural side to the journey.



For the best experience of this journey, travel between May and October as the roads are open and whether is tender. Appropriate dressing code, good foot wear and acclimatisation greatly enhance the comfort of a yatra with reduced likelihood of mishap.



Marshall into Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra as a traveller, but as a seeker, who is in touch with the divine. Discover the spirituality of the Himalayas and make a physical, mental & spiritual connexion with nature that will be cherished.
