The last motor vehicle roadhead of the trek to Kedarnath is Gaurikund, where pilgrims start the scenic spiritual journey on foot to the holy shrine. The walk between Gaurikund and Kedarnath spans around 16 kilometers and traverses stunning sceneries, waterfalls, and spots of rest including Jungle Chatti, Bheem Bali and Linchauli. The road or rail trip to Haridwar or Rishikesh is usually the route to be taken by the travelers planning to visit Kedarnath Dham in case the journey is planned by road.<\/p>\n<p>In order to reach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/kedarnath-yatra-from-delhi.html\">Kedarnath Dham from Delhi<\/a>, you will be required to first reac Dehradun either by road, train, or by air. From Dehradun you will be making your way to Haridwar and from this holy city you will be taking the route heading for the path leading to the Kedarnath trek.<\/p>\n<p>After that, the road trip through Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Sonprayag is permissible prior to arriving at Gaurikund. The trek route has well-unkept pathways, medical aid stations, refreshment stands, and accommodation areas which make the trek route able to assist pilgrims. The weather and the high altitude conditions require the travelers to take their time and observe the local instructions to have a safe and comfortable <strong>trip to the Kedarnath Dham<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key Route Details<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting Point: Gaurikund (1,982 m)<\/li>\n<li>Ending Point: Kedarnath Temple (3,583 m).<\/li>\n<li>Distance: 16 km (one way) total trek.<\/li>\n<li>Duration of Trek: 6-9 hours based on fitness.<\/li>\n<li>Level of difficulty: Moderate to Difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Major Trek Landmarks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Gaurikund<\/li>\n<li>Jungle Chatti (4 km)<\/li>\n<li>Bheembali (7 km)<\/li>\n<li>Linchauli (11 km)<\/li>\n<li>Kedarnath Base Camp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Best Month to Visit Kedarnath <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The correct season is essential as far as safety and comfort are concerned.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>May to June &#8211; Ideal Trekking Months<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pleasant weather<\/li>\n<li>Clear mountain views<\/li>\n<li>Peak pilgrimage season<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>September to October:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Post-monsoon clarity<\/li>\n<li>Less crowd<\/li>\n<li>Cold nights with steady weather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Months to Avoid<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>July &amp; August: Big monsoon, landslides.<\/li>\n<li>November-April: Temple is closed because of snowfall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Guide-for-Kedarnath-Trek.jpg\" alt=\"Guide-for-Kedarnath-Trek\" width=\"700\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Guide-for-Kedarnath-Trek.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Guide-for-Kedarnath-Trek-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Guide-for-Kedarnath-Trek-170x110.jpg 170w, https:\/\/www.namasteindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Guide-for-Kedarnath-Trek-370x240.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Weather Conditions at the Kedarnath Trek<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Weather varies very fast at high altitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seasonal Temperature Guide<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>May\u2013June: 5\u00b0C to 15\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>September\u2013October: 0\u00b0C to 10\u00b0C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nighttime temperatures frequently become lower than freezing, which is a risk factor for cold-related discomfort or health problems, regardless of the time of the year.
