Kedarnath + Tungnath Yatra

When it comes to experiencing the purest form of spiritual energy, the Kedarnath + Tungnath Yatra stands unmatched. Combining the power of Kedarnath Dham, one of the holiest Jyotirlingas of Mahadev, with the mystical charm of Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world, this pilgrimage is a life-changing blend of faith, adventure, and Himalayan beauty.

The 5N/6D journey covers sacred rivers, ancient temples, dense forests, snow-capped mountains, and incredible trekking routes. It is designed for devotees, adventure lovers, and nature seekers who want a deeper spiritual connection combined with memorable landscapes. With the inclusion of Chopta, Gaurikund, Sonprayag, and Rishikesh, this yatra encapsulates the best of Uttarakhand’s Char Dham belt.

A Pilgrimage That Blends Faith, Adventure & Himalayan Magic

The Kedarnath + Tungnath Yatra is far more than a simple temple visit. It is a beautifully curated journey that brings together some of the most spiritually charged places in the Himalayas. The route begins from Delhi and progresses through Haridwar or Rishikesh—cities known for their sacred ghats, Ganga Aarti, and timeless Hindu traditions. As you move deeper into Uttarakhand, the vistas transform dramatically—rivers become clearer, mountains turn mightier, and the air becomes more divine.

Upon reaching Guptkashi and Sonprayag, pilgrims feel an immediate shift in energy. The mighty peaks surrounding Kedarnath begin to appear, filling every traveller with anticipation. The 16 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath is not only an act of devotion but an unforgettable experience of walking through forests, waterfalls, and high-altitude terrain. As the majestic Kedarnath Temple appears against the backdrop of the Kedarnath peak, every step feels worth it.

After Kedarnath’s powerful darshan, the journey flows towards Chopta—a region often called the Mini Switzerland of India for its lush meadows, alpine forests, and surreal Himalayan views. The trek to Tungnath and optional Chandrashila becomes a soul-refreshing experience, combining sacredness with adventure.
