Apart from the above itinerary, you can also consider visiting the Shankaracharya Samadhi, which is located near the Kedarnath Temple. For side trips, you can visit the nearby town of Guptkashi, which is known for its temples. To maximize your fun, you can try camping in the Himalayas or indulge in adventure sports like trekking and rock climbing. We suggest that you carry adequate warm clothes as the weather can be unpredictable in the mountains.
