Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Rishikesh to Rudraprayag
  • After breakfast in Rishikesh, known as the Yoga Capital of the World, begin your journey to Rudraprayag. The drive offers stunning views of the Himalayan foothills and the holy Ganges.
  • Stop at Devprayag, where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers merge to form the sacred Ganga. Spend time admiring the pristine waters and visit the Raghunathji Temple.
  • Continue to Rudraprayag, the confluence of the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers, considered sacred by pilgrims.
  • Arrive by late afternoon and check into your hotel. In the evening, visit Koteshwar Mahadev Temple, a revered cave temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, situated along the Mandakini River.
  • Overnight stay at the hotel in Rudraprayag.
  • Start your day early with a scenic drive to Gaurikund, the base for the Kedarnath trek. En route, marvel at the Mandakini River valley and lush green landscapes.
  • Gaurikund, named after Goddess Parvati (Gauri), is also home to a hot spring where pilgrims bathe before commencing the trek.
  • Begin the 16 km trek to Kedarnath Temple (pony, palki, or helicopter options available at additional cost). The trek offers mesmerizing views of the Garhwal Himalayas.
  • Upon arrival, check into your guesthouse or dormitory.

  • In the evening, attend the divine Aarti at the temple amidst the serene mountain ambiance.
  • Overnight stay at  the Guesthouse/Dormitory in Kedarnath.
