My Kedarnath yatra

We reached the Kedarnath temple at 11.30. The first thing I did was to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be there.

Then I went looking for the army group. They had my tripod and I was not getting a place for the night. Unable to locate them, I finally went and sat next to a sadhu who was sitting by a fire place within the temple premises.

Airfare for Rs 599 and less!

The temple was to open for darshan between 2 am and 5 am. Between 5 am and 6 am was the Samadhi pooja and from 6 am to 7 am was the Samadhi darshan.

At 1.30 am a kind soul offered me a place to sleep. I napped for a bit and at 2.30 am went to the temple where I met Guruji.
