Destination Spotlight: Kedarnath Dham

Nestled high in the Garhwal Himalayas at an altitude of approximately 3,583 meters (11,755 feet), Kedarnath Temple stands as one of the most revered Hindu shrines. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is one of the four major sites in India's Chota Char Dham pilgrimage and holds immense significance as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas.

The temple, located near the head of the Mandakini River, is surrounded by breathtaking snow-capped peaks. Its ancient stone architecture has withstood centuries of harsh weather. The pilgrimage involves not only devotion but also navigating challenging terrains, making the journey both a spiritual and physical accomplishment.
