Kedarnath Tunganath Badrinath

About This Trek

The Kedarnath–Tungnath trip combines two of Uttarakhand’s most sacred and scenic Himalayan pilgrimages. Starting from Gaurikund, the 16 km Kedarnath trek takes you through alpine forests, waterfalls, and snow-clad peaks to the revered Kedarnath Temple at 11,755 ft, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. From Chopta, a short yet beautiful 3.5 km uphill trek leads to Tungnath Temple — the highest Shiva temple in the world at 12,073 ft — followed by an optional climb to Chandrashila Peak (13,123 ft) for 360° Himalayan views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba. Best time to visit is May–June and September–October for pleasant weather and clear skies, avoiding the monsoon. Badrinath is a holy town and important Hindu pilgrimage site in India's Uttarakhand state, famous for the Badrinath Temple, a dedicated shrine to Lord Vishnu. Located in the Garhwal Himalayas on the Alaknanda river, it is one of India's Char Dhams (four important pilgrimage sites). The town is surrounded by the Nar-Narayana mountain ranges.
