Kedarnath Temple

#passionpassport Kedarnath temple is one of the sacred pilgrimage centre in Northern India, located on the bank of Mandakini river at an altitude of 3584 meters above sea level. The historical name of this region is "Kedar Khand". Kedarnath temple is a part of Char Dhams and Panch Kedar in Uttarakhand and one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India. To reach the temple one can hike 23-24 Kms one way or can take helicopter from Gaurikund. Hiking takes around 7-8 hrs and it’s a beautiful trek. I’m winters when temple gates closes temperature can go low as -10 and gets colder in nights. There are places to rest in night very basic. #kedarnath #hiking
