Ukhimath can be used as center destination for visiting different places located nearby, the Madhyamaheshwar Temple, Tungnath Temple and Deoria Tal (a natural fresh water lake) and many other picturesque places. According to Hindu Mythology, the wedding of Usha (Daughter of Banasura) and Aniruddha (Grandson of Lord Krishna) was solemnized here. By name of Usha this place was named as Ushamath, now known as Ukhimath. King Mandhata had performed severe penances to Lord Shiva here. During the winter, the Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar Temples are closed due to heavy snowfall in the area. As a result, the Utsava Idols of Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar are brought from Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar to the Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath. The winter puja of Kedarnath and Omkareshwar (the presiding deity of Ukhimath) is performed here.

What are the tourist places near Kedarnath yatra?

Kedarnath, the Land of the Gods, has a 1000-year-old temple evoking deep emotions, an engulfing holy ambience, and breath-taking snow-covered Himalayan mountains. Kedarnath, named for King Kedar of the Satya Yuga, is one of the four Chota char Dhams with Gangotri, Yamunotri, and Badrinath. Everyone should go to Kedarnath Yatra at least once in their lifetime. Here are a few top tourist places near Kedarnath on your next trip to Uttarakhand.

Ukhimath: Anirudh, the grandson of Lord Krishna, and Usha, the daughter of Vanasur, were married here. Therefore, the place was renamed Ushamath, currently known as Ukhimath. During the winter, the idols from Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar are carried to Ukhimath and worshipped there for six months.

Chandrashila: The Chandrashila mountain, which is 4000 meters above sea level, is one of the most popular spots to visit in Kedarnath. It provides a spectacular 360-degree panorama of the Himalayan range and prominent peaks in the region, such as Nanda Devi. It is said that after defeating Ravana, Lord Rama prayed to Lord Shiva in this location. The walk to Chandrashila is difficult, with hikers needing to traverse 4.5 meters from Chopta, the summit with the highest Shiva shrine.

Chopta: Chopta is a tiny hamlet and valley in Uttarakhand, a state in Northern India. It is often known as 'Mini Switzerland.' Chopta is situated at 2680 meters above sea level. The trip to the well-known Tungnath Mandir begins at Chopta. Tourists can participate in various adventurous activities on their Chopta tour, including snow trekking, rock craft, snow skiing, rock climbing, rappelling, camping, and outdoor games.

Deoriya Tal: It is a beautiful emerald lake that draws many visitors. Deoriya Tal can also be spelled Devariyatal. The lake is well situated among the lush greenery of the tall trees surrounding it. The early morning view of the crystal blue water of the lake reflecting the lush green surroundings and Chaukhamba peaks from its elevation of 2438 meters is just magnificent. Deoriya Tal is part of the Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary, and visitors who are lucky enough can see animals drinking in the lake.

Visit these beautiful destinations near Kedarnath to complete your Kedarnath Yatra along with Manchala Mushafir to get a memorable experience.

The Shiva lingam at Kedarnath temple is pyramid shaped, hence very unique amongst Shiva temples. During their search for Shiva, Bheema managed to hit the buffalo with his mace. The buffalo had its face hidden in a crevice-in the earth. Bheema started to pull it by its tail. In this tug-of war, the face of the buffalo went straight to Nepal, leaving its hind part in Kedar, a hump above the ground as a Lingam, and a blazing fiery column of light sprouted. This is why only the Kedarnath Shiva Lingam is a sort of a hump. It is also believed that Arjuna, one of the Pandavas worshipped Lord Shiva to attain the divine weapon, Pashupatastra. The first hall inside the Kedarnath temple contains statues of the five Pandava brothers, Lord Krishna, Nandi, the vehicle of Shiva and Virabhadra, one of the guards of Shiva. Statue of Draupadi and other deities are also installed in the main hall. A medium sized conical rough stone formation (hump) is worshipped in the Garbagraha of Kedarnath temple and considered as Sadashiva form of Lord Shiva. Adi Shankara is believed to have revived this temple, along with Badrinath and other temples of Uttarakhand and he is believed to have attained samadhi at Kedaranath. Behind the temple is the samadhi mandir of Adi Shankara. Due to harsh weather conditions, the temple is open only between the end of April (Akshay tritya) to Kartik Purnima (the autumn full moon, usually November) every year. During winters, the vigrahas (deities) from Kedarnath temple are brought to Ukhimath and worshipped there for six months.! https://www.instagram.com/p/B2T0j44h7S_/?igshid=1foj4y7mrmeo8

Is Kedarnath yatra open now?

Kedarnath is one of those shrines that every Hindu devotee hopes to see at least once in their lives. Actually Kedarnath Yatra is a part of the Char Dham Yatra. The main attraction of Kedarnath Yatra is the KedarnathTemple which is in the Rudraprayag district of the Indian state of Uttarakhand.

The Kedarnath temple is also one of the Panch Kedar and twelve Jyotirlingas. Akshaya Tritiya determines the date of the opening of the Kedarnath temple. Kedarnath is not only a lovely location, but it also has historical value.

According to the history of Kedarnath Dham, Janmejaya of the Pandava dynasty built the Kedarnath temple, made of stone in the Katyrui style. However, it is also stated that Adi Guru Shankaracharya founded the Kedarnath temple.

Kedarnath attracts not just pilgrims but also nature lovers and explorers because of the tremendous spirit and beautiful environment surrounding the temple. People come here to pray to Lord Shiva but to feel as if they have attained Moksha.

The opening date of Kedarnath Yatra

During the winter, the gates of the Kedarnath Temple, and those of the other Char Dham holy locations, stay closed. And the gates are only open in April and May. Unlike the previous year, the fatal covid illness will be eradicated in 2022.

The opening date of Kedarnath Temple is determined by the auspicious day of Akshay Tritya, which is celebrated on Maha Shiva Ratri at Omkareshwar temple Ukhimath in the presence of Kedarnath Temple priests and Badri-Kedar Mandir Samiti. According to the estimations, the doors of the sacred temple will be opened in the morning of April-May 2022 with a special Pooja in the temple. The opening and closure dates of Kedarnath for 2022 have only recently been confirmed. The gates of Kedarnath will open on May 7, 2022 (tentatively).

The closing date of the Kedarnath temple is always the same since the gates of Kedarnath Temple close on Bhaidooj. So, whichever date Bhai Dooj falls on becomes the temple closing date each year. The temple will reopen in 6 months or after the winter break.
