Hari Om!! Yatra of Shri Gangotri Ji & Kedarnath Ji is the perfect yatra of seeking the blessing of Lord Shiva & Ma Ganga who resides in the lock of Lord Shiva. It is believed that wish of the devotees coming for seeking blessings of these Do Dham got fulfilled with Darshan of Main deity at Temples of Gangotri & Kedarnath. Few kilometres from Gangotri Temple is Gaumukh which is origin of most pious river Ganga.
Shri Kedarnath Temple is situated in Great Himalaya with snow peaked mountains around. Kedarnath Dham is situated in a breathtaking location near the origin of Mandakini river. Kedarnath Dham is also one among the 12 Jyotirlingas and most important among the Panch Kedar. The trek route of 18 kms seems too short with the Jaikara of devotees of Bam Bam Bhole & har Har Mahadev. The Yatra to Gangotri and Kedarnath Dham is true yatra of lifetime.
