About Kedarnath
Kedarnath is a town located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, renowned for its spiritual significance and breathtaking natural beauty. Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas, it is home to the Kedarnath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. Pilgrims embark on a challenging trek to reach this sacred site, surrounded by majestic peaks and serene landscapes. The journey to Kedarnath is not merely a physical expedition; it's a soul-stirring odyssey into the heart of spirituality and the pristine allure of the Himalayas.
Kedarnath is located at an elevation of approximately 3,583 meters (11,755 feet) above sea level in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India. The town is renowned for the Kedarnath Temple, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for Hindus. The high altitude adds to the spiritual significance and scenic beauty of the region but also makes the journey to Kedarnath challenging and requires acclimatization to the altitude.
