Kedarnath questions
How long is the Kedarnath trek?
About 21 km one way from Gaurikund on the current route, climbing to around 13,000 ft before dropping to the temple at 11,760 ft. It is not comfortably done in a day, so the yatra stays overnight at Kedarnath. Pony, palki and pithu are available on direct payment.
Can I go to Kedarnath by helicopter?
Yes. Shuttle flights run from the Phata, Guptkashi and Sitapur helipads, and full helicopter yatras fly from Dehradun: a same-day Kedarnath and Badrinath trip at ₹1,37,000 per person, or 3 nights and 4 days at ₹1,42,000 per person, both including taxes and royalty.
When does Kedarnath open and close in 2026?
Kedarnath opened on 22 April 2026 and is expected to close on 11 November 2026; the closing date is tentative. May to June and September to October are the best months, as the monsoon brings landslides on the route.
How much does a Kedarnath Yatra package cost?
The Ek Dham Kedarnath Yatra from Haridwar, 3 nights and 4 days, is ₹11,500 to ₹23,500 per person depending on hotel grade and group size. Kedarnath and Badrinath together, 5 nights and 6 days, starts at ₹17,900 per person. Rates exclude 5% GST.
How far is Kedarnath from Haridwar?
Haridwar to Guptkashi, the base for Kedarnath, is about 200 km and seven hours by road. From there the yatra drives to Sonprayag, takes the government taxi to Gaurikund and starts the trek.
