      Overview

      For devout Hindus, Kedarnath is one of the holiest pilgrimages. It is located at the head of the Mandakini River in the breathtaking Garhwal Himalayan scenery. Lord Shiva, the guardian and destroyer, is also known as Kedar. The shrine of Kedarnath is surrounded by high, snow-capped mountains and grassy meadows that blanket the valleys during the summer. Kedarnath is located in the Himalayas at an elevation of 3,583 metres (11,755 feet) above sea level, near the Chorabari Glacier, the Mandakini’s source. The Chopta Tungnath trek leads to one of the world’s biggest Shiva temples and Uttarakhand’s highest Panch Kedar temple. This 1000-year-old Shiva temple is located at 3,680 metres (12,073 feet) above sea level, just below Chandrashila’s peak.
