ABOUT THE PLACES:
Kedarnath is one of the most popular sacred places of Lord Shiva. Kedar is another name of Lord Shiva, the protector and the destroyer. According to legend, the Pandavas after having won over the Kaurava in the Kurukshetra war, felt guilty of having killed their own brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull.
Rishikesh is also known as “yoga capital of the world”. The first day of the Kedarnath package from Delhi will start by reaching Rishikesh from Delhi. Known as the land of God, this city will offer you a chance to gain inner peace by just roaming in its holy streets. Home to many famous Ghats and having River Ganges flowing through it, this place is dotted with many divine locations like Laksham Jhula, Ram Jhula and Parmarth Niketan Ashram.
The trek to Chopta that can be extended to climbing the Chandrashila Peak is a popular adventure trip among hiking lovers. Since the route lies in a protected area, the journey takes one through enchanting forests with panoramic views of the Himalayas, far from the maddening crowds. Best time to start a trek for Chandrashila peak is in morning as around afternoon clouds and rain can smudge the beautiful 360 degrees view of the entire Himalayan valley from the peak. The town of Kund in Uttarakhand is the usual starting point and the entire tour can be done in 3-5 days, making it a preferred activity for city dwellers in India seeking a short getaway.
