A breathtaking pilgrim cum adventure trail – Gangotri-Kedarnath trek in Uttarakhand, India. The trek is made up of two sacred places of worship for Hinduism which are Gangotri and Kedarnath located at the scenic Garhwal ranges. The start of the trip is Gangotri, the home to purity glaciers and the silent Alps. However, they will have an uphill task but it is equally spiritually fulfilling as a journey to the old Shiva temple which lies on their way to Kedarnath.
The trek is a true test of both physical exercise as well as spiritual pilgrimage into the heart of mountains which creates a moment of communing with God while enjoying nature within the Himalayan region. The rugged terrain, unique plants in vegetation, rich fauna, and spiritual meaning of the area make the Gangotri-Kedarnath Trek an incredible adventurous experience that envelops one with natural beauty blended with culture.
