Reach Kedarnath Temple
Trek starts from Gaurikund (1,982m) to Kedarnath (3,583m). Well-paved path throughout. Ponies, palki (palanquin) and helicopter available for those unable to trek. Steep in sections — takes 6-8 hours walking. Arrive early to avoid afternoon crowds at temple. Evening aarti at 7:30 PM — highly recommended.
Guide's Note • Mountain Advice
Save your energy for the final kilometres. The trail becomes easier when you settle into a consistent pace instead of rushing the climb.

Darshan & Descend to Sonprayag

Guide's Note • Darshan Tip
Complete your morning darshan without feeling rushed. Take a few quiet moments around the temple before beginning your descent to Sonprayag.
DAY 4Scenic Drive
Today's Mission
Drive Back to Haridwar / Rishikesh
Return drive. Reach Haridwar by evening 6-7 PM. Book onward trains after 9 PM to be safe.
Guide's Note • Journey Home
The mountains gradually give way to the plains today. Let the journey slow naturally rather than treating the return as another long drive.
