Kedarnath Temple is located in the Rudraprayag district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand and is one of the Char Dham and the Panch Kedar.
The temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, and its construction involves fusing enormous boulders made of cut stones.
The Kedarnath Opening Date 2023 is April 25th, and the doors of the temple will open at 6:20 each morning.
Kedarnath Closure Date 2023 is November 14th, 2023, which also happens to be the occasion of Bhaiya Dooj.
To reach the Kedarnath Temple, people walk 18 kilometers from Gaurikund or take a helicopter from Phata, Sersi, Sitapur, or Guptkashi.
On the Kedarnath Opening Date 2023, Arrow Aircraft, Himalayan Heli, and Kestral Aviation will take off from the Sirsi Helipad.
Pawan Hans, Chipsan Aviation, Thumby Aviation, and Pinnacle Air will take off from the Phata and Guptkashi Helipads, respectively.
The Kedarnath Temple is the tallest of the twelve Jyotirlingas and the closest to Mount Kailash, Lord Shiva's everlasting home.
Visitors must hike 22 kilometers upwards from Gaurikund to reach the temple, and pony and machan rides are available as alternative modes of transportation.
Kedarnath receives a lot of snow in winter, which makes the temple's access even more challenging, and the temple becomes inaccessible to devotees from November through April.
