Best Time to Go on Kedarnath Yatra

The best time to go on Kedarnath Yatra is in the summer (May to June) and the off-monsoon period (September to October). Let's know in detail about the best time to visit Kedarnath Dham-

Peak Tourism Months in Kedarnath

May to June (Summer)

These months are the best for Kedarnath Dham Darshan as the weather is pleasant for trekking and sightseeing. The mornings and nights are chilly but the days are warmer to explore the places in and around Kedarnath Dham.

September to October (off Monsoon)

During these months, you are met with pleasant weather and clear skies which make the task of temple tours and sightseeing a cakewalk! Moreover, in the period just after the rains, you'll be welcomed with refreshing verdant valleys that give way to snowy mountains! This is the peak season for booking Kedarnath Tour Packages.

Off Season

July to August (Monsoon)

We recommend avoiding periods from July to August and November to April as these are monsoon (riddled with slippery roads, landslides, and road blockages) and deep winter seasons (Kedarnath Shrines are closed), respectively.

Legend of Kedarnath Temple

There are many interesting legends and stories associated with the Kedarnath Temple. One of the most notable legends tells us the story of Pandavas atonement for their sins after the Mahabharata War.

• As per Hindu mythology, Pandavas was overwhelmed with the guilt of killing their brothers in the Kurukshetra war.
• To atone for their sins and seek forgiveness, they approached Lord Shiva in Varanasi. However, Shiva didn't want to grant them absolution so easily.
• To avoid Pandavas, he disguised himself as a bull and went to the Himalayas.
• Determined to cleanse their Karma, Pandavas followed him.
• As they reached Kedarnath, they recognized Shiva in the form of a bull. Bhima, the strongest of all Pandavas, tried to catch the bull.
• But the bull took a dive into the ground and disappeared, only his hump was left behind.

It's said that some other parts of the bull also appeared at different locations and they now collectively form the sacred sites of Panch Kedar. Devotees from all over India today visit Panch Kedar Circuit to seek blessings of Lord Shiva. The sacred Panch Kedar circuits are as follows-

• Kedarnath - Hump
• Tungnath - Arms
• Rudranath - Face
• Madhyamaheshwar - Stomach
• Kalpeshwar - Hair
