Kedarnath Temple

Kedarnath tucked away in the lap of Garhwal Himalayas, some 221 km from Rishikesh, is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva. Lying against the backdrop of the magnificent Kedarnath Range, at an altitude of 3580 m, the splendid Kedarnath Temple is where the devotees come seeking the blessings of Lord Shiva. The temple is said to have been constructed by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century A.D. The nearby flowing Mandakini River, mesmerizing vistas and splendid sceneries in the form of the snow-clad mountains, rhododendron forests, and salubrious environment make Kedarnath a tranquil and picturesque place to be at.
The devotees experience immense peace of mind while undertaking a spiritual tour. The temple and nature’s milieu is so divine that it always rekindle human beings’ faith in the Almighty. Not to forget, the temple has survived one of the worst flash floods of all time in the state, hence, the reverence for this sacred destination amplifies inevitably. Devotees flock to this holy pilgrimage site every year, mostly as a part of their Chardham Yatra circuit. Kedarnath in Uttarakhand is one of the most prominent pilgrimages, particularly for the Hindus.
