Trip Overview

The Kedarnath Jyotirlinga Tour Package is a profoundly spiritual pilgrimage to one of the most sacred abodes of Lord Shiva, located high in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand at an altitude of around 3,583 meters above sea level. Kedarnath holds immense religious importance as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and is also an essential part of the revered Char Dham Yatra, drawing millions of devotees from across India and around the world each year.

Set against a breathtaking backdrop of snow-covered Himalayan peaks, pristine glaciers, and the holy Mandakini River, Kedarnath is a place where nature and spirituality blend seamlessly. The ancient stone temple, believed to have been built by the Pandavas and later restored by Adi Shankaracharya, stands as a symbol of unwavering faith and divine protection, having endured centuries of extreme weather and natural challenges. 

The journey to Kedarnath is more than a physical expedition—it is a spiritual test of faith, endurance, and surrender. Pilgrims undertake the sacred 16 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath, chanting “Har Har Mahadev” while walking through scenic mountain trails, flowing streams, and tranquil valleys. Each step of the yatra is believed to cleanse past sins and bring devotees closer to spiritual awakening and divine blessings.A visit to Kedarnath Jyotirlinga is a life-transforming experience, offering profound peace, inner strength, and spiritual fulfillment. The powerful aura of the temple, combined with the majestic Himalayan landscape, leaves devotees with a deep sense of humility and divine connection.

Significance of Kedarnath Jyotirlinga

According to Hindu mythology, after the Mahabharata war, the Pandavas sought forgiveness from Lord Shiva for their sins. Lord Shiva avoided them and took the form of a bull. When Bhima tried to catch him, the bull disappeared into the earth, and the hump appeared at Kedarnath. This is why the Jyotirlinga at Kedarnath represents Lord Shiva’s hump, making it unique among all Jyotirlingas.

The temple is believed to have been originally built by the Pandavas and later restored by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. Even today, the temple stands strong against extreme weather, symbolizing unwavering devotion and divine power
