Rudranath Temple, nestled in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India, is one of the five sacred Panch Kedar temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Perched at an altitude of about 3,600 meters amidst the alpine meadows and dense rhododendron forests of the Himalayas, the temple offers both spiritual fulfillment and breathtaking natural beauty. The trek to Rudranath is a challenging yet deeply rewarding journey, passing through remote villages, high-altitude pastures, and panoramic mountain vistas. Rudranath Trek is not just a pilgrimage but an immersive experience into the heart of Himalayan spirituality and wilderness.
Kalpeshwar Mahadev Temple is a sacred Hindu shrine located in the serene Urgam Valley of Uttarakhand, at an altitude of approximately 2,000 meters. It is one of the five temples that make up the revered Panch Kedar pilgrimage circuit dedicated to Lord Shiva. Kalpeshwar is unique as it is the only Panch Kedar temple accessible throughout the year. Spiritually, it holds immense significance as it is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva's hair (jata) appeared after he vanished in the form of a bull.
Trek Package Cost: INR 14,900 Per Person for 5 nights & 6 days
