Our driver will be eagerly waiting to greet you at Haridwar Railway Station/pickup point as the day breaks. From there, we'll embark on a scenic journey towards Guptkashi/Sitapur via Ghanshali, where you can take in the breathtaking views of the beautiful Mandakini River at Tilwara. This river originates from the holy town of Kedarnath, which is our ultimate destination.

After breakfast, we will head towards the Guptkashi/Sirsi/Phata helipad, depending on your pre-booked Heli Ticket. From there, we will fly to Kedarnath via helicopter. Once we arrive at the Kedarnath helipad, we will proceed to the Kedarnath Temple, where you can perform pooja and take darshan of Baba Kedarnath Temple. After that, we will fly back to Phata/Sirsi/Guptkashi Helipad, and then return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay in Guptkashi/Sitapur.

Alternatively, you can choose to trek to Kedarnath. Early in the morning, our driver will drop you off at Sonprayag, where you can take a local jeep to Gourikund, and then begin your trek to Kedarnath ji (either by walking, horseback riding, or by doli at your own cost). Once you reach Kedarnath Ji Mandir, you can take darshan of Baba Shri Kedarnath Temple and perform pooja. After that, you can trek back down to Gourikund, and then drive back to Sitapur/Guptkashi. After refreshing, you can have dinner and spend the night at Sitapur/Guptkashi.

Gouri Kund is a local spot that is believed to be the place where Gouri lived while carrying out practices, and it was here that Shiva finally admitted his love for her. Kedarnath is a scenic spot situated against the backdrop of the majestic Kedarnath range, and is one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. According to legend, the Pandavas sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption after feeling guilty for killing their own brothers in the Kurukshetra war. Shiva eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed, he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhyamaheshwar, and his locks (hair) with head at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four above-mentioned shrines are treated as Panch Kedar.

As your tour comes to a close, we invite you to savor the last moments with us. After enjoying a delightful breakfast, it's time to bid farewell to the hotel and embark on a picturesque journey towards Haridwar via Rudraprayag. En route, we'll be making a stop to visit the breathtaking Rudraprayag Sangam and Devprayag Sangam, where you can soak in the serene ambiance and connect with the divine. Finally, we'll arrive at our destination of Haridwar, where we'll bid adieu with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
