The view of the Chaukambha peaks and the Mandakini valley is delightful from here. The final trek to the Vasuki Tal is downhill for a kilometer. Paian Tal is about 1 km northwest and at the bottom of it, one can see rectangular slabs of rocks. From here, one can go on to the Khatling glacier. The nearest airport is Jolly Grant, Dehradun, at a distance of 251 km from Kedarnath.
Small airlines have connecting flights here.
Kedarnath is approachable by road from all important places of the Garhwal hills-Rishikesh, Kotdwar, Dehradun, Haridwar, Badrinath and Gangotri. Buses and taxis ply at regular intervals on these roads. Food in the eating joints along Kedarnath's main street is simple but expensive, as all supplies have to be brought up from the valley on horseback. The canteen run by the temple committee, Shri Badrinath Kedarnath Mandir Samiti, serves good quality food. It should be noted that non-vegetarian food and liquor are not available here.
