Panch Kedar Yatra
A well-known pilgrimage to five historic temples devoted to Lord Shiva is the Panch Kedar Yatra, which takes place in Uttarakhand, India's Garhwal Himalayas. As part of the Chota Char Dham Yatra, pilgrims also visit the popular Hindu pilgrimage site, Kedarnath Temple, which is one of Lord Shiva's twelve Jyotirlingas. It travels through forests, the difficult mountainous terrain of Rudranath, the meadows of Madhyamaheshwar, and isolated settlements like Ransi, Sagar, and others. It also includes a road trip to the Gaurikund base camp, the long walking distance of Kedarnath, and the high altitude of Tungnath. Many Shiva devotees go from all over the world to see these temples as part of this pilgrimage. From young people to senior citizens, everyone takes part in this trip.
The journey takes roughly 10–11 days to finish and is roughly 95 kilometers (59 miles) long. Amazing vistas of the Himalayan mountain range may be seen during the walk, which also includes tough steep terrain, isolated settlements, deep woods, lush green meadows, streams, etc. The trip begins in Gauri Kund, and the Kedarnath temple is visited first, then Madhyamheshar, Tungnath, Rudranath, and Kalpanath temples in order. The Panch Kedar Yatra is made much more spiritual and exciting by the addition of Kedarnath temple, a significant pilgrimage site of the Chota Char Dham Yatra. These factors are crucial.
