How to Reach Kedarnath:

To reach Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, you typically start by reaching the nearest major town or city, which is usually Rishikesh or Haridwar. From there, you can take a bus, taxi, or shared jeep to Gaurikund. After reaching Gaurikund, you have to trek around 16 kilometers to reach Kedarnath. The trek is quite scenic but can be physically demanding, so make sure to prepare accordingly.

Story of Kedarnath 

The story of Kedarnath is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and legends. According to Hindu mythology, Kedarnath is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, which are considered to be the holiest shrines of Lord Shiva. The origin of the temple dates back to the time of the Mahabharata.

Legend has it that after the great war of Kurukshetra, the Pandavas wanted to seek forgiveness from Lord Shiva for the sins they committed during the war. However, Lord Shiva was not willing to forgive them and kept evading them. To escape from the Pandavas, Lord Shiva took the form of a bull and hid in the ground at Kedarnath.

When the Pandavas discovered Lord Shiva in the form of a bull, he dived into the ground, leaving behind his hump. The hump is believed to be the conical-shaped top of the Kedarnath temple. It is said that the other parts of Lord Shiva's body appeared at four other places, which are now worshipped as the Panch Kedar.

The present-day Kedarnath temple is believed to have been built by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD. Despite facing several natural calamities and invasions over the centuries, the temple still stands as a symbol of faith and devotion for millions of devotees who visit it every year.
