Overview

The Panch Kedar Yatra is a spiritual journey to the five sacred temples of Lord Shiva located in the enchanting Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. These temples—Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Madhyamaheshwar, and Kalpeshwar—are believed to be associated with the Pandavas’ quest for redemption in the Mahabharata.

Next, pilgrims visit Tungnath, the world’s highest Shiva temple, followed by Rudranath, known for its natural rock face shrine. Madhyamaheshwar, located in a lush valley, offers a tranquil ambiance, and the final stop is Kalpeshwar, where Lord Shiva is worshipped in his matted-hair form.

This spiritually enriching yatra takes you through pristine valleys, dense forests, and snow-clad mountains, offering not only divine blessings but also breathtaking natural beauty. Ideal for devotees and trekkers alike, the Panch Kedar Yatra is a perfect blend of faith, adventure, and scenic charm.
