Panch Kedar Trek

Panch Kedar Trek

The Panch Kedar Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage in Uttarakhand, India, that takes you to five significant temples dedicated to Lord Shiva: Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Madhyamaheshwar, and Kalpeshwar. This spiritual journey takes you through the beautiful and rugged terrains of the Garhwal Himalayas, offering both devotion and adventure. The yatra begins with Kedarnath, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, followed by the trek to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world. Rudranath, known for its unique face-shaped idol, and Madhyamaheshwar, located in a serene valley, are next on the route. The final stop is Kalpeshwar, nestled deep in the mountains, where the Kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling tree) adds to the temple’s significance. The Panch Kedar Yatra is an unforgettable experience that not only offers spiritual blessings but also presents some of the most breathtaking views of the Himalayas, with lush forests, alpine meadows, and rivers. The best time to embark on this yatra is from May to October. Whether you’re a pilgrim or an adventure enthusiast, the Panch Kedar Yatra provides a life-changing journey

Panch kedar yatra

★★★★☆
Travel agent, driver and car were extremely good. Not much to say about hotels. There are better hotels available for the same or lesser tariff. Nothing can ever be better than journey through the Himalayas. Sheer magnitude of the ghats are mesmerizing. I strongly recommend people to take up Panch kedar Yatra
