Overview

Kedarnath – Where the Silence Speaks Shiva’s Name

Kedarnath is a sacred town nestled high in the Garhwal Himalayas and is the most secluded among the Char Dham pilgrimage sites. Situated at an impressive altitude of around 3,584 meters, it rests near the source of the Mandakini River, surrounded by stunning snow-draped peaks that create a serene and majestic backdrop.

The town is home to the revered Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is one of the most significant spiritual destinations for Hindus worldwide. According to ancient lore, the temple’s origins trace back to the time of the Pandavas, who, as per mythology, performed deep penance here to seek Lord Shiva’s blessings and forgiveness.

Reaching Kedarnath involves a demanding yet rewarding 18-kilometer uphill trek from Gaurikund through a well-constructed mountain path. For those seeking an easier journey, helicopter services are available, offering a swift and scenic route to the shrine. Regardless of how one reaches, the spiritual atmosphere and breathtaking landscape make Kedarnath a profound experience for every pilgrim.

As per legends, after the Mahabharata war Pandavas came to Kashi and then Guptkashi in search of Lord Shiva for the easy ablution from their sins.

Pandavas , in search of Lord Shiva came to this place witness the unique buffalo and follow him. In an act to hide, buffalo get inside the earth, but Bheem grabbed his tail and legs from behind. All Pandavas then request Lord Shiva to come out from the earth and give them easy ablution from their sins. After sometime Bholenath gave darshan and comes out. Different parts of buffalo came out at five places, well known as Panch Kedar.
