Trekking to Kedarnath: A Journey of Faith and Adventure Kedarnath, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas, is one of India’s most sacred shrines. The journey is as rewarding as it is challenging. Route & Trek The trip began at Chopta, with a 10–13 km trek to Chandrashila, offering panoramic Himalayan views. From there, the next stop was Gaurikund, the base for the Kedarnath trek. Though the official distance is around 16 km, steep climbs and curves make it feel much longer. Starting at 5 a.m., the trek usually takes 10–12 hours, ending near the Kedarnath temple by evening. Stay & Experience Accommodation can be tricky without pre-booking, but military and government camps sometimes provide shelter. For those visiting around Diwali, the highlight is the Kapaat closing ceremony, when the idol of Lord Kedarnath is carried in a palki to Ukhimath for the winter—a rare and deeply spiritual experience 🙏 #voyagerpinks #solotravel #harharmahadev #ukhimathdairies #gaurikund #kedarnathtemple #chopta #uttrakhand_dairies #shotononeplus #snapdragoninsider Kedarnath ukhimath gaurikund shotononeplus solo traveller passionate photographer content creator uttrakhand vlogger blogger trekking stories spiritual journey experience
