My Kedarnath yatra

I woke up early next morning and went to the temple. There I met a person (Mr Mishra) who offered to give me a lift to Delhi. Mr Mishra had come alone from Delhi with 30 kg of flowers to decorate the Kedarnath temple!

Airfare for Rs 599 and less!

On the way we stopped at Kalimath, famous for its temple dedicated to Goddess Kali. We reached Rishikesh at 6.30 pm and Delhi at 1.30 the following morning.

How to get there

The nearest airport is at Dehradun.
The closest railway station is at Haridwar, 221 km.
Kedarnath is a 14 km trek from Gaurikund, where the motorable road ends. Gaurikund is well-connected by road from Rishikesh, Dehradun, Haridwar and Kothdwar.
