About Kedarnath Yatra
Kedarnath, situated at an altitude of 3,583 meters near the Mandakini River, is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in India. It is a part of the Chota Char Dham Yatra and the highest of the 12 Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva, set against the backdrop of the snow-clad Kedarnath peak.
Why It Is Famous
Famous for the ancient Kedarnath Temple, built with massive stone slabs in the 8th century, which survived the devastating 2013 floods, and the challenging 16-kilometer trek through beautiful valleys.
