Best Time To Visit Kedarnath

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

Kedarnath is one of the holiest shrines in India.

Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is the highest of the 12 “Jyotirlingas,” where Shiva manifests as an ever-burning radiant light. Embark on a transcendental journey to this sacred place, surrounded by its divine aura. The climate of Kedarnath can be described as cold and wet, receiving a lot of rain. Therefore, most pilgrims visit Kedarnath during the summer season. The best time to visit Kedarnath is from April to June, when the rains are milder and less frequent, and the temperatures aren’t freezing cold.

Even in ‘summer’, the weather is chilly during the mornings and evenings, and only the afternoon sun provides relief. The winter cold cuts to the bone, and Kedarnath Temple is closed off. The temple is open only between April and November. The Char Dham pilgrimage also starts once all the holy shrines are opened after winter. The Badri Kedar Festival, which celebrates the union of Lord Vishnu (Badrinath) and Lord Shiva (Kedarnath), is also organised in June, making it the best time to visit Kedarnath temple and make a pilgrimage to the Char Dhams.

Climate in Kedarnath

Summer Season in Kedarnath

Summer is the peak season in Kedarnath, making it the ideal time to visit and go on your Char Dham pilgrimage. The daytime temperatures are moderate, remaining between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius. It is plenty warm and sunny, and a cool breeze breathes fresh life into one’s soul. The nights become cold and windy, so tuck yourself into warm clothes or sit by a bonfire and enjoy a hot meal. One can also enjoy outdoor activities and go sightseeing.

Monsoon Season in Kedarnath

Although the temple remains open during the monsoon season, it is not the best time to visit Kedarnath. It rains about 10 -15 days of the month and heavily during this time. Some years, the monsoon season has also seen flooding in Kedarnath. If you want to visit during monsoon season, keep an eye on meteorological news and plan your itinerary carefully. You want to avoid landslides and roadblocks, too. Kedarnath weather in this season is unpredictable, but it might be an excellent time for the adventurous.

Winter Season in Kedarnath

Winters start in October and last until March. The temperature fluctuates between -15°C and 6°C. Heavy snowfall occurs in December and January, making the place inaccessible for a few months. Early winter, from October to November, is also a good time to visit Kedarnath. It is the shoulder season for tourism, as the temperatures are not super harsh yet, and the rainy season also recedes by this time. November to December is the best time to visit Kedarnath for snowfall.

We booked the trip with navicrow holidays. Their excutive mr.sunil helped us with exact itinerary & hotels. We got all the required details well in advance. The team was constantly in touch with us throughout the journey. I highly recommend this agency.

Esha Joshi Mumbai

R's 10 days trip to Kedarnath

Travel agent, driver and car were extremely good. Not much to say about hotels. There are better hotels available for the same or lesser tariff. Nothing can ever be better than journey through the Himalayas. Sheer magnitude of the ghats are mesmerizing. I strongly recommend people to take up char dham Yatra

R Kiran Gaikwad Bengaluru

Sk's 10 days trip to Kedarnath

We were given a nice deal by 1 point 5 billion agent. Hotel were with basic amenities but were clean. Locations of the hotels were good. Hotel Routela in Barkot, Hotel Inder Palace in Uttarkashi, Hotel Om Kutir in Badrinath ji, Hotel Sachin International in Rudraprayag were nice but Guptkashi Hotel New Pandey Inn should be changed to other hotel. Cab Swift Desire was nicely maintained and clean. Driver Mr. Ajay was quite experienced. We were only two persons(my mother and myself) so swift desire is nice But if you are 4 or more then Innova/scorpio is advisable to have higher ground clearance of the chassis for more comfortable journey. During the chardham yatra one should start early the cab journey everyday around 6am to avoid the peak rush hours while going and coming back and thus one can come back in hotel before sunset. Travel agent 1 point 5 billion Mr. Sandeep is very smart in planning and was giving prompt and efficient service. As I wanted to go to Kedarnath ji by Helicopter so he advised me that next day while returning from Kedarnath, I should directly go to Badrinath ji instead of going/staying back in Guptkashi. There by I saved one day and thus my total duration of Yarta was 9 days and 8 nights. I have already recommended and one of my known family friend Mr. Jha already planned their chardham yatra in sept 2019 with 1 point 5 billion. All days/darshans were memorable during the trip. But the best part was that we did our chardham yatra during Navratri and apart from having darshans normally in all char dhams , we did manage to have Kedarnath ji and Badrinath ji darshan in same day on 7th october 2019

Shailesh's 5 days trip to Kedarnath

The Do Dham Yatra for 5 days is good. The tour operator is very supportive. Shivangi the trip advisor is very good and helpful. Hotels are good. Food of Sersi & Kedarnath is very good as home but the food of Badrinath & Pipal koti is so so. Overall the trip is very good and satisfying. Thanks to Travel Triangle and Shiv Darshan tour.

Shailesh Sriv Dehradun

Priti's 5 days trip to Kedarnath

The car and driver were ok. The hotels at phatta was average but clean, but the food was too basic. the tent at kedarnath was very unsuitable for the climate there, the facility for toilet was very poor. Even at haridwar, which is a proper city the food was too basic and average. we had asked for hotel in the city near to the activities. after being assured of the same, we were provided with the hotel on highway too far from the main city.

Priti Shetty Mumbai

Ankit's 10 days trip to Kedarnath

Provided hotels were good at most of the places. Cab was not clean and we requested multiple times with the agent but response from Navicrow (Mr. Yash ) was very rude as he dont have manner to speak. Also there was an urgency during trip and i called him 4-5 times and also messaged him to call me back but no response from his side and cab was very dirty till 5 days. Mr. Sunil was helpful since beginning but seems like things after bookings are not in his hand as it was handled by Yash. Same hotel was provided which were promised. Char Dham is fabulous place and each hindu must visit to complete one of the Dham and also to see the beauty of Uttarakhand.

Ankit K Haridwar
