After an early breakfast, we check out at 4:30 AM and begin our journey towards Gaurikund, the base point for the Kedarnath trek. We take a local taxi from Sonprayag to Gaurikund, though a waiting time of 1-2 hours may apply.

Upon arrival at Gaurikund, we visit Gauri Temple, where Goddess Parvati is believed to have meditated to attain Lord Shiva. We also take a holy dip in Tapt Kund, a natural hot water spring known for its healing properties.

The 18 km trek to Kedarnath Temple begins here. The trek typically takes 8-12 hours, and pony or palanquin rides are available at additional cost. Along the way, we take short breaks at Bheembali and Rambara, which offer scenic views and refreshments.

Upon reaching Kedarnath, we attend the evening Aarti at Kedarnath Temple (6-7 PM). If time permits, we seek blessings at the temple before checking into the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

We wake up before dawn to attend morning Aarti at Kedarnath Temple (4-5 AM), ensuring an early darshan. This allows us to experience the serene and spiritual atmosphere of the temple during the most sacred hours.

After darshan, we visit Bheem Shila, a massive rock that miraculously protected the Kedarnath Temple during the 2013 floods. We then proceed to Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi, the sacred resting place of the sage who revived Hindu philosophy.

Next, we explore Bhukund Bhairavnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Bhairav, the guardian deity of Kedarnath. After these spiritual visits, we return to the hotel for breakfast and check out by 10 AM.

We begin our descent to Gaurikund, which takes 6-8 hours, followed by a taxi ride back to Sonprayag (1-2 hours waiting time may apply). Upon arrival at Sonprayag, we check into the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we begin our 70 km drive to Chopta, also known as the 'Mini Switzerland of India'. This scenic journey takes us through lush meadows and dense forests, offering mesmerizing views of the Garhwal Himalayas.

Upon arrival, we begin the 4 km trek to Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world, standing at 3,680 meters. Continuing further, we trek for another hour to Chandrashila Peak (4,090 meters), which offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba peaks.

After exploring the area, we descend back to Chopta and check into our campsite, where a bonfire night (weather permitting) awaits.

After breakfast, we set out on a 140 km drive to Badrinath, passing through Karnaprayag, Nandaprayag, and Vishnuprayag. Upon arrival, we seek blessings at Badrinath Temple and take a holy dip in Tapt Kund, a sacred geothermal hot spring. We then check into the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.
