Kedarnath Temple is located in the lap of Garhwal Himalayas, some 220 kms from Rishikesh,is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva.Lying against the backdrop of the magnificent Kedarnath Range, at an altitude of 11745 ft. The nearby flowing Mandakini River, mesmerizing vistas and splendid sceneries in the form of the snow capped mountains, greenlust forests, make Kedarnath a tranquil and picturesque landscape.It is one of the most prominent pilgrimages,particularly for the Hindus. Although you can trek the 20km route but i personally suggest you to take helicopter and spend time there. do take warm cloth as gets very cold out there and midnight abhishek and puja is something to look forward to.

I visited Triyuginarayan mandir on 15th march 2020 . I was longing to visit it since 2006 . Lord Narayan called me after 14 years to give his blessings . Triyuginarayan mandir is located in Triyuginarayan village perched at an elevation of 1,980 m in Ukhimath Tehsil , Rudraprayag district , uttarakhand . It offers panoramic views of snow covered Gadhwal mountains . The ancient mandir is dedicated to Lord Vishnu . Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati got married here about three aeons or yugas ago . Hence the name , Triyuginarayan with Tri meaning three , Yugi meaning Epochs and Narayan meaning Lord Vishnu , who as a brother of Parvati arranged this celestial wedding whereas Lord Brahma played the role of a priest . A special feature of this mandir is a perpetual fire , that burns in front of the temple . The flame is believed to burn from the times of the divine marriage .Thus , the mandir is also known as Akhand Dhuni mandir . Exact place of wedding is marked by the Brahmashila in front of the manir . Brahma Kund for sipping , Rudra Kund for bathing and Vishnu Kund for cleansing are the three sacred kunds ( ponds ) in the premise . These kunds are replenished by Saraswati Kund for offering libation , said to be originated from the navel of Lord Vishnu . The architecture of this mandir resembles to that of Kedarnath mandir .

A trek of about 2 km from the dainty, little village of Sari was a planned but unexpected experience for us! We decided to take a stopover at Khirsu from Delhi since Sari village is around 437 km. One can plan the trip from Haridwar or Rishikesh also, which takes somewhere around 8 hours. We booked the Oakland Holiday Home (from AIR BNB) which a homestay bungalow. It was truly admirable to see neat and clean accommodation with all the basic facilities of a 3-star hotel! There are a number of booking centers for trekking, backpacking, etc. We got the booking done from the helper at the homestay. We started our trek which is just a few steps away from the home. It's a combination of a moderate and steep climb and took us about 3 hours to reach the apex point. One look at the scenic beauty - all the sweat and pain experienced in reaching there vanishes! The snow clad mountains in a panoramic backdrop with the greens lining the border, green pastures and the lake shimmering in the middle is like a scenery painted from a dream sequence. We camped there overnight and enjoyed the other side of the view with the snow peaks drenched in moonlight. It gets very cold during the night so it's best to carry some woolens. Do not expect anything fancy here. Even tap water was a thing of luxury at this place. Yet, everything seems perfect as there are such rare places when you can feel closest to nature. The place offers some magical views in the early morning hours and after sunrise. If one is lucky, they may witness an enchanting reflection of the peaks in the lake. We started our descent at around 8 am. It was comparatively easier but need to watch our step while climbing down. Back to the homestay, we had a refreshing bath and planned for the next adventure to Chopta. The entire experience was fulfilling. Especially the stay at Oakland Holiday Home was one of the most memorable part of this trip. Warm, hospitable and friendly is what can be said. Rest, be there to believe it!

We went to this temple in winter just after evening arati so the temple was about to close for the day. But the priest was kind enough to allow us inside and also explained to us about the five Kedarnaths who were brought over there for the winter months. The omkareshwar idol was at the centre, behind which was the main Kedarnath idol along with the Madmaheshwar idol. The Rudranath, Kalpeshwar and Tunganath idols were placed at the side. We were really grateful to the priest for showing us the five different idols else we would have kept wondering which is what. Not only that he asked a security staff to show us around the temple privately.......and he took us to five kedarnath's lingams (probably replicas) and showed us some arms which they assume to be that of the pandavas. Also we were taken to a small Devi Chandika mandir and were also shown the place where they believe Krishna's grandson Aniruddha married Usha the daughter of King Banasura. I loved the hospitality we received there that also during closing time of the temple when usually people are in a rush to go home. Also we loved to get the darshan of the five kedars at one place. In case you are not fond of trekking but still want to get a darshan of Kedarnath visiting this temple in winter can be your best decision provided you can tolerate a bit cold. Also in case you are near Ukhimath during winters I would highly recommend you to stop by this temple.
