Registration start for Char Dham Yatra (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri)
Book A trip NowKedarnath Temple is one of the most revered Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, located in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand. Surrounded by snow peaks and the Mandakini river valley, the temple feels powerful, peaceful, and deeply spiritual. Every year, thousands of devotees visit for darshan, aarti, and the once-in-a-lifetime feeling of standing in front of this sacred shrine.
Kedarnath is also one of the Char Dham temples, so many travelers plan it together with Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. If you are building your full yatra plan, keep your itinerary flexible because weather in this region can change quickly. The best experience is when you start early, stay calm, and move with patience.
Darshan timings can vary by season, crowd, and local conditions, but usually the temple opens early morning and closes in the evening after aarti. During peak season, queues can be long, so it’s smart to reach early and keep enough buffer time. If you want quick updates, you can check the Live Darshan section on your site and follow official announcements from local authorities.
How to reach Kedarnath: You typically travel to Gaurikund, then trek to Kedarnath (or use available transport options as per rules and availability). Most people come via Rishikesh/Haridwar → Sonprayag → Gaurikund, and then continue onward. Carry warm clothing, rain protection, and basic medicines because temperatures can drop suddenly, even during the day.
To make your visit smoother, plan your stay in advance, especially in May–June and September–October.
