Your getaway to Kedarnath starts from the wonderful city of Bangalore. After arriving in Bangalore, gear up to visit the Cubbon Park that houses over 6000 trees and plants with a musical fountain show to close the day on a fascinating note.
Depart early from Bangalore and reach Rishikesh. Known as “Yoga Capital of the World”, Rishikesh is the perfect destination for adventure enthusiasts. Engage in White Water Rafting or Bungee Jumping to get your adrenaline pumping. Enjoy the evening aarti on the banks of the River Ganga.
Leave Rishikesh for Guptkashi, the gateway to Kedarnath temple. Explore the scenic surroundings of the mesmerizing Sonprayag en route, and visit the famous Vishwanath temple. You can also go for a relaxing dip in the Tapt Kund hot springs.
Trek up to the 8th-century Kedarnath temple located at an altitude of 3,583m. Marvel at the stunning views of the Kedarnath peak and the surrounding mountains. Seek blessings from Lord Shiva in the revered temple and be enthralled by the serenity of the place. Trek back to Guptkashi and unwind for the night.
If you have additional time, you can explore Haridwar, a city famous for its ghats and the evening Ganga aarti ceremony. You can also visit Dehradun, a picturesque hill station, and indulge in adventurous activities like paragliding, trekking, and rappelling. On the other hand, if you have less time, skip Rishikesh and proceed directly to Guptkashi from Bangalore.
