the journey for Kedarnath Badrinath darshan. No matter you are driving,
walking, trekking or even at Kedarnath Badrinath temple, nature and its view

A
Holistic Experience on Kedarnath and Badrinath Trip
The road to Kedarnath and Badrinath Trip will make through forest sections displaying the sights of white peak
mountains. If you are a trekker, Kedarnath Badrinath Dham Yatra is a journey to
escape from the worldly charms. Only to visit the Eden- like paradise of
almighty with the magnificent Himalayan views, mountain forests of Jungle
Chatti and Bheembali meadows, valleys, waterfalls, rivers, and other vistas of
nature. A place you must not skip if you’re looking to get out from the worldly
chaos to a place where ethereal harmony prevails.
As you proceed further past Gaurikund,
you can observe the terrain changes and the air gets more freezing. P.S- the
cold is same which is why we advise people to few sets of woollens on their
trip to Badrinath Kedarnath. By the time you reach, you’ll have enough time to
attend the evening aarti taking the first glimpse of Baba Kedarnath before the
day ends. Spend your time with the Lord himself, meanwhile strolling in the region
and admiring the peak views.
Before you leave to
Badrinath, don’t forget to attend the morning aarti at Kedarnath, seeking
blessing to happily conclude Kedarnath and Badrinath Trip. The route to the
abode of Lord Vishnu traverse through Guptkashi, which is actually the same
route you took for Kedarnath. By fourth day of the trek, you will make your
presence at Badrinath. The place is relatively cold here as well. However, due
to its extremely cold climate, spending your summers in Kedarnath and Badrinath
would be a better option. We suggest April to June is the best time to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath. The Kedarnath Badrinath tour concludes at Haridwar,
the point from where you started.
