Kedarnath & Badrinath

Kedarnath and Badrinath are two of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites, set high in the Garhwal Himalaya — Kedarnath reached by a trek from Gaurikund, Badrinath by road through some of the region's most dramatic mountain scenery.

Both remain active, deeply significant pilgrimage destinations rather than tourist sites in the usual sense, and we plan visits with appropriate pacing for the altitude and the physical demands of reaching each.

Highlights

• The Kedarnath temple trek through Himalayan scenery
• Badrinath temple on the banks of the Alaknanda River
• Dramatic high-Himalaya mountain roads
• A genuine, still-active pilgrimage atmosphere

Best Time to Visit

May to October, when the high Char Dham route is open; closed under snow the rest of the year.

Getting There

Reached via a multi-day road and trek itinerary from Rishikesh or Haridwar; we plan the route around current road and weather conditions.
