Kedarnath

Presenting you with a Kedarnath Trip Package, this temple is one of the holiest in the Hindu religion and is frequented by thousands of spiritual and adventure seekers annually. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Millions of tourists have been enchanted by Kedarnath over the years as they immerse themselves in the wonders of nature, find serenity, and pay homage to a shrine that holds great spiritual significance and ensures that the soul experiences a divine quality. One of the most revered shrines among the Panch Kedars, a group of five temples erected to honor and adore Lord Shiva, is this one, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.

The Rudraprayag area of Uttrakhand State is home to the Kedarnath Temple, which is situated at an elevation of 11750 feet above sea level. It is much more significant because it is one of the Chota Char Dham pilgrimage destinations, along with Gangotri Yamunotri Kedarnath and Badrinath. You should surely visit it once.

Due to its high altitude, Kedarath is closed from November to April for nearly six months during the winter, and the residents of the town go to villages that are lower in altitude. Trekking fans will also find something unique in this trip: a challenging 16-kilometer hike that begins in Gaurikund and ends at the temple at Kedarnath.

A medical examination is necessary due to the high altitude to ensure that those with respiratory issues won’t have any discomfort because the air becomes less thick over a particular altitude. The location provides Mules, Doli, and other choices for older travelers who find trekking difficult.

Nevertheless, we are dedicated to giving you a great journey that is safe, beautiful, and filled with genuine spirituality. To assist you organize your vacation, we have created a detailed itinerary that will show you the daily schedule, routes, and schedules for your travel to Earth’s paradise.

Fitness For Trekking

Tips to get fit for Trekking

Experiencing trek is almost everyone’s passion or dream. But before starting or planning for a hike, you must be aware of the during and post-trek pain of your body. It is essential to be strong enough to enjoy your whole trek without any disruption of body ache. One book or decide several months before going on a hike, so you have a significant amount of time exercising your body and training it to become flexible for the trek.

Following are some advantages of training yourself before trek:

• It fosters aerobic fitness.
• It improves blood circulation and breathing functions as well.
• It makes the heart strong, preventing it from any problem.
• It helps in toning legs.
• Muscles get build-up which is very beneficial.

Therefore, one must do practice to gain all these benefits. It is not only for the trek but for lifetime fitness also.
Let’s have a look at some factors which must be kept in mind to practice before trek:

Importance of Stretching

It helps the body become flexible and allows you to move your body in any direction you want quickly. It helps make the joints such as shoulders, elbows, hips and knees stronger to prevent any mishappening. It provides much relaxation to your body and relieves the pain. And if you are going on a trek, it is essential to practice stretching way before your hike. It will help you in moving to the higher altitudes region more efficiently.

Sleep like baby

It is always said that one must sleep like a baby. It means sleep without any worries. This makes you have an adequate amount of sleep which is a significant factor in daily life. So, practice it daily and also before your trek. Try to make yourself comfortable to sleep at higher altitudes.

Good Shoes-Good Trek

It is so evident that one has to walk and only walk while Trekking, so it is far more essential to have a good pair of trekking/hiking shoes. Practice walking by wearing your boots before the trek to make yourself used to them. You may opt for an option to keep an extra pair in your bag while trek to help yourself in the opposite condition.
