| About Kedarnath Tourism |
Kedarnath is revered as one of the holiest pilgrimage destinations in India. Situated at an altitude of 3,584 m, the holy town of Kedarnath overlooks the Kedar Massif, a stunning mountain formation with several glaciers, including the source of the Mandakini River. The shrine of Kedarnath is reached by a 14 km trek uphill from Gaurikund. It houses one of the 12 holy Jyotirlingam,
in which Lord Shiva is manifest. Built more than thousand years ago,
this temple can be visited only during some months of the year. Winters
are excessively cold and the shrine opens when the snows have melted in
April or May. Besides being an important pilgrim centre, Kedarnath offers the traveller stunning vistas of lofty snow peaks, rivers and the green meadows.
