there was Char Dham Yatra and Kedarnath Tour. With over 1200 years in age, Kedarnath
mandir darshan has a huge fan base and still growing. Open for visitors between
April to September, Kedarnath temple darshan witnesses a huge craze of
followers and peace seekers from far lands, every year.

Yatra takes place in Uttarakhand, India making a journey till the height of

terrains, freezing cold and rugged nature, Kedarnath Darshan has now become a
devotee’s as well as the trekker’s dream.

As you climb further, stroll your eyes
through the scenery multiple terrains along the way. From green mountain, to
snow covered peaks to stark brownish hills with no vegetation. The Kedarnath darshan package guarantees these attractions. Besides, the entire route has
abundant pilgrims chanting the holy name; some on foot, some on carriage. The
mule or helicopter transfer is add-on service that’s available on your
Kedarnath trip budget on additional cost.
At one point you’ll come across a
glacier with its mouth wide open at you. You can try standing in front of the
opening, you’ll feel a breeze cooler than an air conditioned drift. Nature’s
own cooler! The snowy mountain ranges will become more prominent as you get
closer to the shrine. You’ll see a white peak stare at you as you get closer on
the Kedarnath trip - the Keadardome peak. The temple sits just below its view so
get ready to approach the highlight of your entire Kedarnath tour package.
They say in order to make Kedarnath travel, you have to be called upon by the deity, Kedarnath (another name of
Lord Shiva) himself. We feel you to be the chosen one, if you have already
booked one of our Kedarnath darshan tour packages. A bliss that unlocks your

Kedarnath Shivling Darshan, is the star
spot of the entire Kedarnath Tour package. It’s an incredibly enchanting
journey takes end with the mighty snow laden Keadardome peak. Standing right
behind the ancient temple like its protector. At the climax of the Kedarnath
Yatra, you’ll feel like you're ascending into the realm of clouds as you walk
up the heavenly white steps. If it’s your first Kedarnath murti darshan, then
you can picture the place as mighty stone temple, overlooked by even mightier
snow-laden peaks, and homes the almighty Lord Shiva himself. A spectacular
sight to behold, with air filled with spiritual feel. Truly, a dream come true
for many aspirant visitors.
Let’s talk about some mythology you
should know before choosing the Kedarnath tour package. It is said that the
penance seeking Pandavas were seeking for Lord Shiva, along with their wife
Draupadi. It is only he, who can cure them from the sin of annihilating their
own kin. However, Lord Shiva wasn’t ready to forgive them and decided to
disguise them in form of a bull.
Hiding at Guptkashi, it was Bheem who
recognized Lord Shiva incarnated as the bull. He tried to capture him, but
couldn’t. The heist started and eventually led to fragmenting the bull into
five pieces. Each pieces scattered to different direction, where the hump fell
to Kedarnath. The Pandavas and their wife, then received Shiva’s blessing and
since then, thousands of visitors keep on visiting to receive blessing from the
holiness.
Besides Kedarnath Tour package, people
often go for Panch Kedar, which is a trip to the five shrines where the five-part
bull fell.

Is
it difficult to travel to Kedarnath?
The Char Dham Yatra pilgrimage can be
rather challenging due to the altitude and location of the state of
Uttarakhand. This means that one would most likely want to get to the base camp
of Gaurikund as soon as possible in order to save all of their energy for the
ascent to Kedarnath.
