Start your day early and embark on a scenic road trip from Nadiad to Kedarnath. Enjoy the picturesque landscapes and beautiful countryside as you make your way towards the holy town of Kedarnath.
Make a quick stop at Rudraprayag, a charming town located at the confluence of rivers Alaknanda and Mandakini. Admire the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and rivers while taking a short break to stretch your legs.
Arrive at Gaurikund, the starting point of the trek to Kedarnath. This small town is named after Goddess Parvati and is known for its hot springs. Enjoy a refreshing bath in the natural hot water springs before embarking on the trek.
Begin your trek to Kedarnath, a famous pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Shiva. The trek is approximately 16 kilometers long and offers stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks and valleys. Take your time to soak in the serene atmosphere and enjoy the spiritual journey.
Reach the holy town of Kedarnath and visit the renowned Kedarnath Temple. This ancient temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva and holds immense religious significance. Spend some time exploring the temple premises and witnessing the evening aarti (prayer ceremony).
Begin your descent back to Gaurikund. The return trek is relatively easier as compared to the ascent, allowing you to enjoy the scenic beauty and tranquil surroundings once again.
Leave Gaurikund and start your journey back to Nadiad. Take breaks along the way to rest and rejuvenate, enjoying the peaceful drive amidst nature.
While visiting Kedarnath, make sure to explore the nearby Vasuki Tal, a stunning high-altitude lake known for its crystal clear waters and breathtaking views.
