How to Reach Kedarnath

Kedarnath Temple can only be reached by a trek from Gaurikund which is the last motorable road from Kedarnath.  The major town near Gaurikund is Sonprayag. Shared jeeps ply between Sonprayag and Gaurikund. The cost is INR 20 per person and the distance is 5km. However, the waiting time to get a cab is around 1-1.5 hours. This also requires standing in a queue. One can go and come back on the same day but yatris prefer staying overnight at the base camp as the journey is steep.

How to reach Kedarnath by flight

The closest airport to Gaurikund is the Jolly Grant Airport (Dehradun), from where you can take a taxi to Gaurikund. Gaurikund is the last road head to Kedarnath, after which the only option is to trek (or take a horse/palanquin ride) for a distance of about 14 km. However, an alternative is to skip the trek and make use of the helicopter services available at Dehradun.
