KEDARNATH 
The Himalayan abode of Lord Maheswar

CONVEYANCE

Kedarnath Kshetra is accessible by roadways and railways. And airways too. Golly Grant is the nearest airport and lies at the distance of 17km from Rishikesh. It connects Delhi by Vayudoot daily flights. Rishikesh is the nearest railhead and it can be reached by every mode of transport from any part of India. From Rishikesh everyone has to perform the rest of the journey of about 232 kms by road alone. Government and private buses are available in plenty and can be pressed into service at any hour. Though there are more than one route, pilgrims prefer traveling by the most convenient and widely used road passing through Deoprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Agastyamunikund, Guptasaki, Patha Rampur, Sonaprayag and finally Gaurikund. Gaurikund is the last road head and from here one has to either trek, or ride by pony. As the road passes through innumerable sharp bends, over high plateaus and down valleys from Rishikesh to Gaurikund, a long distance of 232 km., it makes the journey unpleasant and tiring.
