Kedarnath Temple (Nivalink Trip Dated - 1 September 2011)
Kedarnath Temple is one of the holiest Hindu temples and is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga temples. Due to extreme weather conditions, the temple is open only between the May to end Oct / Mid-Nov. Kedarnath temple is accessed on foot or pony from Guptmashi (13 kms) or via a helicopter ride (from a base 23 kms from Rudraprayag). Kedarnath is also one of the Panch Kedar temples in the area. There is a samadhi mandir dedicated to Adi Shankara behind the Kedarnath temple which is also visited alongwith Kedarnath.
