Panch Kedar Tour Package

Overview

Panch Kedar is a spiritual journey across the five temples in India that are devoted to Lord Shiva. People think that after the Mahabharata war, the Pandavas asked Lord Shiva to forgive them for the bad things they did during the conflict. In reaction, Lord Shiva concealed in several forms in these temples, and the Pandavas had to find him in each shape to get his blessings.

The Kedarnath Temple, which is 3,583 meters above sea level, is the first stop on the Panch Kedar trip. It is the most well-known of the five temples and is dedicated to Lord Shiva as a lingam. People think that the Pandavas erected this temple.The next destination is the Tungnath Temple, which is 3,680 meters above sea level. It is the tallest of the five temples and is dedicated to Lord Shiva as an arm. The hike to this temple is a little hard, but the view from the top is amazing.
