Everybody at least once in their lifetime wants to visit the snow-clad towns of Kedarnath and Badrinath. These towns of Uttarakhand are not only hailed as one of the famous Hindu pilgrim places but also famous for spiritualism and mythological beliefs. Part of the Do Dham or Char Dham Yatra, the high altitude towns are a must-visit at least once.
Perched on the Garhwal hill tracks, near Alaknanda River, Badrinath is situated in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Badrinath is known for the sacred Badrinath Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. On the Garhwal hills also sits the town of Kedarnath. Kedarnath is the most important among the 12 Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Treks and routes of the tour might sound dangerous but the experience, the serenity and the touch of divine will take your breath away.
Which one should you visit first?
As per Hindu Mythology, the trip to Kedarnath comes first. Lord Shiva (Kedarnath) provided the space for Lord Vishnu (Badrinath) in DevBhumi Uttarakhand. Thus, Kedarnath is first.
The best time to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath is between September to October and May to June when the snow has melted and the rainfall is also not there. Kedarnath remains closed for 6 months from November to March each year due to heavy snowfall in the region. Do not visit the towns during monsoon due to rainfall that causes landslides and also extremely dangerous cloudbursts.

Nestled in the laps of Garhwal Himalayan Range in the Rudraprayag District of Uttarakhand lies one of the most religious temples of Hinduism in India. As a part of Chota Char Dham Yatra, Kedarnath becomes one of the most prestigious and sacred Hindu temples.
The temple is the highest among the 12 Jyotirlingas. Kedar refers to Lord Shiva, the protector, and the destroyer. It is one of the holiest shrines dedicated to the deity and it is believed that a journey to this holy land opens up doorways to “Moksha” or salvation.
