Sonprayag is the confluence of the Mandakini and Vasuki rivers, located on the route to Kedarnath. This small town offers striking landscapes, cool mountain air, and an important spiritual stop before the final leg of the journey. Pilgrims often stop here for rest and acclimatize. It is also said that taking a dip in these holy waters cleanses one's sins and prepares one for the sacred journey ahead.
Located about 25 km from Kedarnath, this temple is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati. The eternal flame here has been burning for centuries, making it a popular destination for pilgrims and newlyweds. The architecture and mythological stories make it a culturally rich experience. The peaceful environment and surrounding forests also make it a beautiful escape from the busier route.
Gaurikund is the starting point of the Kedarnath trek and is deeply tied to Goddess Parvati, who is said to have meditated here for Lord Shiva. The natural hot water spring is a refreshing place for pilgrims to take a holy dip before starting the climb. It is a small yet spiritually significant spot with basic accommodation, temples, and splendid views of the Himalayan foothills.
The summer season (May-June) is the best time to visit Kedarnath. The temple opens after winter, and the weather is pleasant with clear skies and accessible routes. It is ideal for comfortable darshan and trekking.
Autumn season (September-October) is a great time for those who prefer fewer crowds. The monsoon showers have washed the surroundings clean, and the landscape is lush and vibrant, perfect for photography and soulful solitude.
Due to heavy rain and the risk of landslides, it is best to avoid traveling during the monsoon season (July-August). However, if you are an adventurous soul, be well prepared with rain gear and check weather conditions in advance.

Skip the trek and fly above the clouds. A helicopter ride to Kedarnath temple offers unmatched aerial views of the Himalayas. It is a perfect mix of comfort and thrill, especially for senior pilgrims or those short on time.

Answer the Call of Lord Shiva
Kedarnath is not just a temple; it is a timeless testimony of faith, resilience, and divine energy. It is among the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India and holds great significance in Hinduism. Perched at 11,755 feet, this ancient shrine is believed to have been built by the Pandavs a thousand years ago from enormous stone slabs and later revived by Shankaracharya. It is the place where heaven touches earth, where your soul gets a chance to pause and reconnect. What makes Kedarnath even more magical is its isolation. There are no bustling cities here, no distractions, just you, the mountains, and Mahadev. Kedarnath represents Lord Shiva in his “Kedar” form; compassionate yet strong, silent yet all hearing. The temple braves extreme weather, standing unshaken year after year, just like the unwavering faith of millions who visit.
The journey to Kedarnath is not easy, but perhaps that is what makes it so transformative and believed to provide “Moksha” or salvation. As you walk the sacred path from Gaurikund, every breath feels like a prayer, and every step resonates with centuries of devotion. The Mandakini river flows alongside, carrying stories of mythology and mysticism. And when you finally stand before the Kedarnath temple with towering mountains guarding its silence, something shifts within you. It is more than darshan, it is a moment of awakening, that is why lakhs of devotees every year worship here.
Whether you seek blessings, peace, or purpose, Kedarnath never disappoints. It transforms you quietly, deeply, and forever.
