Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Dehradun/Rishikesh/Haridwar – Guptkashi (215 km / Approx. 9 hours’ drive)
Arrive at Haridwar. Our representative will meet and assist you and then drive to Guptkashi via Moolgarh & Lambgoan. En route, you can see the beautiful Mandakini River in Tilwara. The Mandakini river comes from Kedarnath. Drive alongside the river to reach Guptkashi and visit Ardh Narishwar Temple. Check into the hotel upon arrival in Guptkashi. Overnight stay at Guptkashi.
Guptkashi:- The name Guptkashi means "Hidden Benares." Mythology describes how when the Pandava brothers were searching for a glimpse of Shiva, Shivji first concealed himself at Guptkashi but fled further up the valley to Kedarnath, where the Pandavas finally fulfilled their wish. There are also more tangible connections—the Kedarnath pandas (priests) live in Guptkashi during winter. After the Kedarnath temple closes for the winter, the image of Kedarnath passes through Guptkashi on its way to Ukhimath (across the valley), where it stays for the winter.
Guptkashi Weather - Pleasant in summer, the temperature ranges from 25-30 degrees Celsius.

Day 2 Guptkashi – Sonprayag - Kedarnath (30 kms by road & 22 kms Trek
The morning after breakfast, proceed to Kedarnath. Enjoy Kedarnath Pooja Darshan and return to your hotel for an overnight stay at Kedarnath.
By Trek: In the morning, our driver will drop you off at Sonprayag. From there, you have to take a local jeep to Gourikund. Then ,your trek to Kedarnathji begins. After Darshan, follow the same route back to Sonprayag. There is a big parking issue, so the driver will return to another location. If his contact number is not working, you will need to arrange another taxi or wait for your driver and send a message through any other driver.
Kedarnath: The Kedarnath shrine, one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, is a scenic spot situated against the backdrop of the majestic Kedarnath range. Kedar is another name for Lord Shiva. According to legend, after having won over the Kauravas in the Kurukshetra war, the Pandavas felt guilty about killing their brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and, while fleeing, took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed, he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhmaheshwar, and his locks (hair) with the head at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four above-mentioned shrines are treated as Panch Kedar.
Kedarnath Weather - Due to its high altitude, the weather in Kedarnath remains cold for most of the year. Summer here is cool and pleasant, while winter is severe. During the summer season, the temperature varies around 20° Celsius. Light woolen wear is recommended. Winter in Kedarnath is severe, with the mercury falling to as low as 0° Celsius. During this time, the place experiences snowfall as well. Due to the extreme climatic conditions, tourists usually avoid this time.

The response time and patience from Abhijit and his team are highly commendable. (Read More) He never fail to assure me of the arrangement and decisive in his proposed itinerary. More importantly, he kept to his promises. Understanding my concerns about hotel cleanliness and safety, he has selected the hotels which are truly value for money. I was recommended 3 tour agencies , World Travel Experience is the best.

Anoj has organised our tour to Delhi, Rishikesh, Harithwar with Golden Traigle then To Kerala very well . He has customised our need to go smoothly. We had to (Read More)make last minute adjustments to previous itinerary due to other couple needs in Kerala and Mr Anoj Verma was extremely helpful in dropping us at different locations even after completing the tour. He was extremely taking care of us both during and after tour till be back homebooking new flights and changing ousightseeing. He also personally met us at the airport and facilitated transfers to our hotel in Delhi. Our guides for both cities and driver for the trip were also very helpful and always punctual. Conveyance arranged was also comfortable. We found Sulekha tours to be a good fit for our traveling party of 6 and would definitely recommend them. All hotels were 4+ star rated and the guides are well knowledgeable and very fluent in English. They have provided well history of each places before we entered into the monuments. The drivers are also very pleasant and very punctual and went with us without any complaints. I will recommend Sulekha Tours for anyone who wants customised tour wherever is needed.

We planned the tour as we wished. Piyush and Karishma were in easy contact all the time. They let us choose the places to go each day and the drivers were reall (Read More)y flexible, specially our Kerala's driver, Abdul, who was excellent.
The hotels were fine. You need to take in mind that the 4 stars hotels in India aren't the same than in the west countries. You can find dirty sheets and uncleaned bathrooms or expect to sleep in a mattress over the floor in a double room (when you expect triple accommodation). That happenned to us in some of the hotels. We had other minor issues but Piyush helped us to fix them.
So, if you want to travel to India with comfort and if you need to save time, I recommend you this agency that also have very good prices.
