Panch Kedar Yatra
Overview
The Panch Kedar Yatra is a revered pilgrimage covering five ancient temples of Lord Shiva in the Garhwal Himalayas. These temples—Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Madhyamaheshwar, and Kalpeshwar—are linked to the Mahabharata, where the Pandavas sought forgiveness from Lord Shiva after the Kurukshetra war.
This pilgrimage is perfect for spiritual seekers and adventure enthusiasts, offering a blend of devotion and breathtaking Himalayan landscapes.
