This will be confirmed over email after booking) shore of the holy

Ganga River and ends in Sonprayag, which is at the coast of

Mandakini River. We shall leave from Rishikesh at 6 a.m. after

breakfast. During this journey, we witness various cities,

Himalayan villages, and the three “Prayags,

” i.e., the Devprayag,

Rudraprayag, and Karnapyrayag. On the way, we get to see the

holy “Sangam” or union of two rivers- Bhagirathi and Alaknanda.

This union is a visual treat to the eyes. It’s so blissful and divine.

Srinagar also falls into this route, the entire road journey is full of

scenic views. We bet your heart would be filled with joy and

excitement. This is a thrilling journey. Depending on the traffic,

we shall reach Sonprayag by 2 p.m. approximately. Sonprayag is

the base of the Kedarnath trek. By the time we get here, it would

be lunchtime. Hence we shall have our lunch and rest. Sonprayag

is by the shore of the Mandakini river. In the evening, you can

enjoy the drizzle of the river water. To sit by the river and watch

it flow endlessly is peace in itself. After spending a peaceful

evening, we shall have dinner and then head back to beds to get

ample rest and prepare ourselves for the next day’s trek.

We start early morning around 7 a.m. from Sonprayag and head

towards Gaurikund. Before we start, we shall have our breakfast.

In Gaurikund, there are hot water springs. You can enjoy that for

the time being. From Gaurikund, our actual trek begins, which is

approximately 16 km to Kedarnath temple. This is a steep trek. It’s

a moderate level trek that requires good physical fitness. Before

the tour begins, the physical fitness of every visitor is checked

there. People with respiratory issues and high blood pressure

must avoid this trek. It’s a high altitude trek; hence one must

consult a doctor before trekking. While trekking, we can see snow-clad mountains from a distance. Despite all the hardships, the

beauty of this trek is astounding. Glaciers and waterfalls surround

this valley. The cool breeze and the scenic views are heavenly. You

will forget all the worldly worries, and your heart would be filled

with sheer happiness. In 5-6 hours, i.e. at around 3 p.m., we shall

reach Kedarnath Valley. Now we shall have our lunch and rest. In

the evening, we can attend the evening “Aarti” or prayer at the

temple. The evening aarti lasts for one hour. Let your soul get

drenched in the sacred vibes of prayers and let your spirituality

take you to a different faith and divinity world. It gets quite cold

here at night. This night at the valley is a special one as you can

feel the sacredness inside and outside of you.

The next morning at 7 a.m., the morning prayers begin. You can

see the beautiful golden rays of the rising sun falling on the

temple. We must stand in the queue for our turn to worship (for

darshan) and offer the offering to Lord Shiva. Once we are done

with morning prayer at the temple, we shall head back to

Sonprayag and then to Rishikesh/Dehradun afterwards. After this

soul-nourishing journey to the Kedarnath, we shall bid adieu each

other from Rishikesh/Dehradun. This journey and this trek are

going to change you and your inner self. This trek will fill us with

immense peace, calm, and happiness as if lord Shiva has blessed

us. All hail Lord Shiva.
