Overview

Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra kapat will be opening on 12 May so Hello Hikers extends a heartfelt invitation to all pilgrims embarking on the sacred journey to Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand for the spiritually enriching Do Dham Yatra to Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra Uttarakhand. Throughout your pilgrimage, immerse yourself in the divine ambiance that saturates every aspect of this land, where devout worshippers, myriad temples, ceremonial rituals, and soul-stirring Aarti ceremonies await at every turn. This yatra encompasses the exploration of two significant Dhams: Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra , along with a visit to the quaint Mana Village. Nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan peaks, both these sacred sites undergo a seasonal closure lasting six months, owing to the harsh winter conditions that blanket the region in pristine snow, rendering the terrain impassable. Nevertheless, the portals of both Dhams open to pilgrims during the summer months, starting from April or May, and bid farewell with the advent of winter in October or November.

Kedarnath stands as a preeminent holy site devoted to Lord Shiva, epitomizing the pinnacle of spiritual veneration. Its present-day structure, the Kedarnath Mandir, dates back to the 8th century AD, meticulously crafted under the guidance of Adi Shankaracharya. This hallowed sanctuary, blessed by the divine presence of Lord Shiva, embodies unwavering devotion and serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith. Adi Shankaracharya’s visionary leadership not only revived the temple’s sanctity but also elevated its status to that of one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, radiant manifestations of Lord Shiva’s universal energy. With roots deeply entrenched in antiquity, the revered Kedarnath.Temple has been a beacon of spiritual resonance for over 1200 years, silently bearing witness to the steadfast faith of devotees across the ages.

Badrinath : Nestled in the heart of nature’s splendor, Badrinath sits atop a majestic throne, its celestial beauty reaching towards the heavens. The gentle Alaknanda River cradles the town, while the formidable Nar and Narayan mountain ranges form a protective embrace around it. This heavenly abode has been a bastion of spirituality since the 8th century when the venerable sage Adi Shankaracharya established the temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The town exudes an aura of divine reverence, beckoning pilgrims to embark on a journey that transcends the mortal realm and delves into the realm of the eternal. As they tread the sacred grounds, devotees are enveloped in an atmosphere of devotion and transcendence, forging a connection with the infinite.

The Kedarnath and Badrinath Yatra is suitable for people of all age groups, including beginners, as it is moderately difficult. The trail offers a mix of steep ascents and descents, making it a challenging yet thrilling experience.
