[10:45 am Arrival Kedarnath]

On our way to Kedarnath from Badrinath Helipad, we will change our helicopter service once at Phata/Sitapur. This is in congruence with the government regulation insisting on the shift to shuttle service of about eight minutes to take one quite close to the temple premises. Our staff will be happy to help you in enjoying a blissful darshan of Lord Kedarnath. We will provide you with the VIP darshan that will let you in having the darshan without having to stand in long queues. Please know that this incurs no additional costs from you as our package is inclusive of the VIP passes.

The whimsical moods of Mother Nature at Kedarnath is quite famous. One is therefore advised to finish the darshan within 1.5 hours and return to the helipad.

Kedarnath: What better than the regal mountain ranges of Kedarnath to form the perfect backdrop for the Lord of Kedar Khand to reside in? Lord Shiva, the Omniscient, omnipotent Protector and destroyer of the cosmos, resides in one of his beautiful jyotirlingas in this beautiful shrine. Kedarnath also forms an indispensable part of the Panch Kedar, another pilgrimage conglomeration for the Shaivite bhakths. An interesting legend connects all these holy shrines. Apparently, Lord Shiva eluded Pandavas seeking his forgiveness for their committed mistakes in Kurukshetra by taking a form of a bull. When Pandavas figured out the Lord’s Leela, the different parts of the bull’s body appeared in different holy spots. The hump at Kedarnath, arms at Tungnath, its head near Kapaleeshwar, face at Rudranath and belly near Madhmaheswar.
