One of the 12 sacred Jyotirlingas — a journey of faith through the Garhwal Himalayas

The Kedarnath Yatra Tour Package from Su-Yatra.com takes you to one of the holiest shrines in Hinduism — the Kedarnath Temple, located at an altitude of 3,583 metres in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand.

Su-Yatra.com offers 2 Kedarnath Yatra Tour Packages for 2026 — from Haridwar (3N/4D) and Delhi (4N/5D) — designed around the iconic 16-18 km trek from Gaurikund. Every package includes Tempo Traveller transportation, quality hotel accommodation at Guptkashi or Sonprayag, breakfast and dinner daily, biometric registration assistance, and 24×7 on-trip support.

🏔️ Kedarnath 2026 Opening Date: The temple opens on 22 April 2026 at 8:00 AM, officially announced by the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee on Mahashivratri. The temple closes around 11 November 2026 on Bhai Dooj. May–June and September–October are the most popular travel windows — book early as slots and hotels fill up fast.
