Welcome all of you to Kedar Valley and I am starting Kedarnath ji yatra and like every year It is very special for me, I am doing it for the third time and excitement like first. then let's go and see what kind of experience it is, how are the darshans and you will get all the other details in the video. Jai Shri Kedar. My journey to Kedarnath Dham was a little different this time because I was on the journey to Char Dham. And I had reached here to visit Gangotri I stayed at Gupt Kashi, 30 kilometers away from Gauri Kund last two times I have visited Kedarnath Ji, I was staying at Gauri Kund and there. Hotels are not good I preferred a little comfort because ask for good hotels are available here or not in Gaurikund, but this time I am staying in Gupt Kashi. You see, this is my room here and it is also at a very good location, which means you get very good views will show you some room like this, so this time I am staying here Stay in kedarnath ji will also be different I had taken the package from a company named Amazing Uttarakhand and they made all the arrangements from my hotel to transportation to the journey. You can connect with them This time crowd was heavy for kedarnath So I had to leave from Gupt Kashi at around 2.30 in the night. I reached here in 1.5 hour, Car is parked here Car drop you here at sonprayag parking. Let's see where to get the shuttle jeep ticket and how much it costs. There is a lot of crowd here The entire parking is full and there was traffic took some time to reach here. To reach Kedarnath Dham, first of all you have to reach Haridwar. From here, you can take a whole day trip to Gupt Kashi, Phata, Rampur, Sitapur, Sonprayag or You can stop at any place in Gaurikund. There is a 16 kilometer walking journey from Gaurikund to Kedarnath Dham, can start the next day. To visit Kedarnath or any Dham of Chardham, It is mandatory for you to get registered in advance, Website is given your registration done through this, it is checked here, it is checked and if you look at the people, there are so many people sleeping here, many people do not get hotels that is why book in advance. so that there is no problem where will the people stay if no hotels available keep these things in mind and book hotels in advance Very expensive hotels are available in SonPrayag, hence travelers like to stay before this, but there is a reason for it being expensive because the sharing jeep from Son Prayag to Gaurikund is available from here. If you are staying anywhere other than GauriKund, reach SonPrayag around 4 because the sharing jeep starts running from 4:00 in the morning, there is a line of about an hour You must be seeing jeeps etc. and there will be a counter there, but till now it has not been shown that you will have to take tickets etc., perhaps you will get it only after reaching here. This route from Son Prayag to Gaurikund is about 6 kilometers, for which the jeep drivers will have to pay Rs. At 50, it is daylight and I have reached Gauri Kund. The time is 545, which means we have reached here at 64 o'clock and now let's see how much time it takes to reach the top because here Now I am going to go on foot and climb about 16 kilometers, reach a little further and take 50 rupees, there is no counter etc., you just sit comfortably, that is, tickets etc. are available there itself, if you go there Even if you are planning to come by wheeler, you will have to park your car in Son Prayag itself, but in the month of May-June, the crowd is so much that the parking gets full and the vehicles get space far in advance on the roadside. When you start the journey of Kedarnath ji, you start from here, from Gauri Kund, you also start walking and there is also a belief of taking bath in Gauri Kund and here it is not that You will feel very cold. The water here is a very hot pool and here you should take a bath in the hot pool and then start your further journey. The system here is something like this and you will be seeing people taking a good bath. There is a separate journey for women and a separate journey for men. If you want to do this journey by palanquin or pitthu, then this facility is available from Gauri Kund itself, but for this also there is a long queue at the counter. If you want to avail the facility of horse and mule, then its counter is found about half a kilometer ahead of Gauri Kond . If you are using mule to reach Kedarnath Dham, then for this you will move about half a kilometer ahead of Gauri Kond, then here But this is a prepaid counter, you will come here and the horse owner will bring you and give you his card, this is the ID card of the horse owner, he will give this and you will go to the counter with this and by giving ₹ 2000000 to someone, you can reach there by track. After 1 km you get a little relief from the crowd and from here comes the real joy of walking. You got to see me. Yes, yes, how did you do? It was very good and okay, but this time there is a little more crowd. Overall, everything is good. When he was born, the doctor had said that he would not be able to survive, but faith is a very big thing. When you become devoted to God, you get so many powers accumulated in it. Jai Shri Kedar Kedarnath Yatra every year in the month of April or May. It starts on the day of Akshaya Tritiya and continues till the month of October or November and the doors are closed on Bhai Doosh. The maximum crowd is in May-June, although this is the right season, whereas from July to mid-September due to rains. The crowd is the least because at this time there is a fear of stones falling from the mountains and there is a normal crowd between September end and November, so the best time is after September when the crowd is less and the weather is also fine. It gets a little cold, I have completed my journey of about one and a half kilometer and I have carried this stick, which means this time I am on the journey of Chardham, I have been carrying it from the beginning itself, in Yamno North itself, you too had taken this stick when you came. If you come on a journey, then definitely keep it, it is very easy to get it in 2030 and take it in the beginning itself. If you want to do anything with the horse, then do it in the beginning itself, it is not so that if you do it later, you will get more money. There will be trouble and the money will also cost you the same, meaning if you go up, it is not easy to get it and they charge more money too. If you take it from the bottom, you will get the horses at the proper rate given by the government, rest if you go on foot. Brother, if you are capable and can walk, then what is the point of walking? That journey has its own fun. During the track, you will get all the food and drink items and the facility of online payment is also available, but network is hardly available here. And the internet is very slow and calls are not easily made, hence it is better to carry cash. I am having difficulty in walking while doing darshan. What is the point of being with Baba Ji, what is the point of running? Har Har Mahadev Har Har Mahadev after walking about half a kilometer. Later on the way comes the temple of Chir Basa Bhairav Ji. There is a story of Ravasa Bhairav Temple that when the entire Mahabharata war was over, then he asked Lord Krishna and said that we have killed so many brothers, so now we should How to get salvation? He said that you can get salvation only by having the darshan of Bholenath, so he immediately decided to give up his renunciation and left all the kingdoms to his son for renunciation. When he came here, Bhairavnath appeared here. Bhairavnath said to him that if you give me some donation or some other thing, I will not let you go further. He had no money, he had just wrapped himself in dhoti and had assumed complete sannyasa. Then Draupadi took her saree here. Ripped a pallu and gave it to him as a gift. Again, with the same name, the name Chir Bhash Bairam Temple is written here. In the track of Kedarnath Yatra, your first stop should be after Gauri Gund at Jangal Chatti which is about 4 km. It falls at a distance of 1000 meters and you have kept these electrolytes etc. with you, you have been eating and drinking something, you must definitely carry a water bottle, keep Glucon D etc., keep some toffee etc. If you keep all these things with you, then your journey will be easy and Wherever you feel thirsty, you should drink and wherever you feel like eating something, you should keep eating and drinking lightly, then it will be easy for you to travel comfortably, do not get breathless, walk comfortably, intermittently, this is how this journey happens. And the joy also lies in this. During the journey, you get things at a lesser rate than the normal rate. You will get higher prices but the Dham is at a high altitude so there is a lot of cost in transporting goods here, hence the prices of things here are slightly higher. After traveling about 6 kilometers from Gaurikund, I have reached Bhim Bali and Bhim. There is also a halt for horses in Bali and as soon as you come here, the open view starts appearing completely, that is, the scenery changes completely. Those who have been walking till now, it changes completely and from this onwards the climb is also good. There is a steep start, till now the going is normal but there is quite a steep climb above it. It took me almost 33 hours to reach here and the distance left from here to Kedarnath Dham is 10 km. Let's see how much more time it takes. Apart from the change in scenery, this time for the first time in this journey, I got to see some foreigners, on the other hand, this time more than last time, toilets were also installed on these routes and medical facilities were also installed. Relief Points: Next mule counter is in Bhim Bali and if you really feel much problem in reaching here then you should hire a mule now because after this the climb from Rambada becomes very difficult. It is time that some Let's eat and drink, I have taken Maggi, I have got 0 rupees here and many more things to eat here, Rajma, Rice, Dal, Rice. If all these things are available, then if it is 1212 o'clock, then it means that it is your lunch time, then at that time you You can do this and cross Rambada, after that the climb starts, take a break somewhere and then after that you can eat and drink something comfortably. Generally Kedarnath Yatra is done in two ways, first by car and second by two wheeler. In this case, there is no problem of traffic and parking, but if you are planning with your private car then think once because first thing is the experience of not driving a car on the mountains, second is the problem of parking and third is the traffic of Kedarnath ji track. During this time, you must keep some things in your bag. Let me tell you, first of all, I will show you the things that I have kept in the bag. Make sure to keep a rain coat because rain can come at any time. Along with this, here Keep gloves with you, keep a winter cap, this is very important, keep extra t-shirts etc. Do this and you will wear a jacket, that too should be there. If you wear sunglasses, then keep those food items. I have eaten and drank something . That's the rest, I have kept these bhujia etc., I have kept the biscuits, there are namkeens etc., you can keep bread, butter etc. and here one is this Electrol, I have finished eating this also, I have finished eating all this, this is Mathri etc., you can keep one more. The important thing is that it is a multi plug, it is important to keep it because when you stay here, there is only one socket here, so if you plug it in then you can charge two-three things, so these are the basic things. You should keep it and let me see what I have kept, I have also kept an extra shirt, so these many things are enough. And talking about money, some people want to know brother, how much money have I kept. The money I had kept was around Rs. 6,000. This was kept because if in between you feel like a horse or have difficulty in walking, then you do the stooge etc. or the horse etc. then it seems to be around Rs. 33200. If you come till the top, then Only if you keep at least money for it, it will be possible because due to walking, you also feel a little hot. After walking about two and a half kilometers from Rambada, this time Bhandara was also set up here. While riding a horse , how many rounds do you make in a day? You people are crazy and work hard. Has God given you a body like this? No, you have blessed the body as well. You are serving the people. It is not a small thing. It means when do you come for time travel. Well, you do it for three, four or six months. What do you do for the remaining six months? What are you doing after that? Study for twenty seconds. Brother, work hard. This is how it is. Heaven is visible for getting some work done at home. Is heaven visible? Is it Baba's blessings? Right now the clouds have come. And it is the nature of the mountains that as time passes, clouds start coming here in the afternoon and the rainy season starts forming, so right now a similar rainy season is forming, glaciers are visible side by side and like As you go higher, the views will become more beautiful and go up and you will get to see beautiful views. You are getting a little tired and definitely keep a power bank etc. with you. You might be shaking a bit because my Gopo is discharged. So I have to shoot this with DSLR so I must be moving a little by the way they move and just keep moving and this time I hope that I will do the journey very quickly, meaning I will reach very early because every time I used to reach around 4 in the evening but now it is only 11 o'clock and kilometers left are around 5:30. If you go by mule, it will drop you from the temple. They drop the palanquin about 2 kilometers in advance, whereas the palanquin is also dropped a little earlier but the stooges take it till the last, whereas the helipad for helicopters is built about half a kilometer before the temple and the stooges are available from here for Rs 500 to 000. Do you live here? If you were going to live somewhere else in Nepal, it would be better if you would have come here for six months. There is no problem here. You people work very hard here. There are problems, but what to do? It seems absolutely cool as we are going up, the clouds are getting closer and closer and if you look at the path, we have gone up like this and there is still a lot to go till the top and when the helicopter goes into the valley, It is a complete mess, helicopter people should come from Fata etc. Booking is done in advance through IRCTC, you take care of all this, I will give the link of the website in the description so that if you want to book, you want to come by helicopter, but it is very difficult to get it. Because it is limited, then keep all these things in mind, the roads in the last 2 kilometers of Kedarnath Dham are very beautiful and the climb is also negligible and after walking on these roads for just half an hour, your wait ends. After traveling 16 kilometers on foot, After drinking a liter water bottle, I left at 6:30 in the morning and at 230 in the afternoon, after trekking for 8 hours, I reached Kedarnath Dham. What a joy I have, what can I say, it felt as if I was coming here, my steps were moving fast. I was feeling tired but still I was running fast. By the way, the funniest thing is that this time I am going to stay here, this is my hotel, there is a hotel near the premas of Kedarnath Temple, I will show you what kind of hotel it is and how. You can book, you will get all the details, prices etc. Just stay tuned in the video and also have darshan. Passing through the streets of the acted Kedarnath temple of Kedarnath Dham, now first of all I reached my hotel room, this time my room in Kedarnath ji. It is very close to the temple, that is, it is not even 50 meters away from here. Let me show you the temple and the room, it is something like this. Now you will say brother, the room is just like this, it is normal, it is a big deal to find it here and this If you see, this is a room of six beds, it is in sharing, so one has to stay like this, rest of the bathroom is attached, the good thing about it is that you get attached Indian toilet etc., it is different in different places, it depends on the rate. But here the rate which runs is 3000-4000 which means it varies according to the person but the reason is that it is very close to the temple and such rates keep running here, there are many more like this here, so you Where to book, I am telling you that it is a wonderful Uttarakhand, you can contact them, they will do all the booking etc. for you or whether it is a hotel or a complete package, if you want to take everything, they will make arrangements for you, car etc. Thing, people from far and wide had come to Kedarnath Dham where everyone had their own experience and in such a situation, it was necessary to talk a little. Where have you come from to visit, from Perth Australia to Australia, you are coming here from Australia, so what is the inspiration so far away. You just have such devotion towards Baba, Baba also wanted to come once, this is your tent brother, yes brother, where are you coming from, you have come from Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Gujarat on a bicycle, yes, look at this, brother, there is a bicycle here, a bicycle till the top. You have also brought it, no problem, no problem, nothing, got a lot of help, you are coming for the first time, yes, for the first time, how long will you stay here, today is my third day, I am about to leave , don't you feel cold after noon? Okay, it was raining so it was completely filled with water. Okay, water had come in. I poured all this on top. Okay, so you see, what is this here? Bread flame. Okay, this is a stove for cooking food and these utensils are kept there. There are some more things have been done here, there is a complete arrangement and it is very good, the whole house has been made, the house has been settled, what is the matter, how long have you been here, I am 36 years old, you have grown up here, no, 36, I am 55 years old. Where am I? Well, it's been 36 years since I have been here. This is a village of pilgrimage sites, a village, and this land is our flower. It is old. Just as there is no farming in a village, it would have been a village. This is our old property. Earlier there was so much crowd . Earlier devotees used to come only for darshan, now both types of people used to come. Devotees are also coming, wanderers are also coming and we cannot stop anyone from following Baba, but the soul feels a little sad, like sometimes she leaves the room, it hurts so much. The trouble is fate, there is no enmity with us and you people, you are our guest, guest is the form of God, but God should also live according to the same, you eat, drink, have fun, do it in Gaurikund, do it below it, hey, eat for the whole life. You have to drink, if you live a happy life for one day, then what is the point, then I would request you only this, whoever comes, you are welcome in the place, and the one who comes towards the guest is a guest, God gives peace, he sees from the distance, isn't he far away? When you see it, you feel happy. As soon as you mention its name, you feel happy. See, all the sorrows of the world have gone away. You have left since 2 o'clock, you have not slept yet, the tiredness is gone, you forget everything after coming, you don't take anything, you look angry. And the joy of walking on foot is the supreme blessing of Jam Baba Har Har Mahad Har Har Mahadev There is also a place named Kund near the Kedarnath temple and bubbles arise here just by taking the name of Bholenath Jai [Music] Bholenath Do it here, I have bought potato bunda near Kedarnath temple and I have got these two pieces for Rs. 0, dosa etc. here it is also for Rs. 160, I had also bought chaman for Rs. 160 yesterday, so the price will be a little higher but brother, bring this much. These people are working hard, what is the special thing, here you will get things tasty and hot, it is very tasty. Budget travelers can do this entire journey by using bus for Rs 5,000, whereas two For wheelers, the expense can go up to Rs 8,0000, but if you want to do this journey with comfort, then it can cost anywhere between Rs 30,000 to Rs 0,000, which may be more or less according to the season, if you are a budget traveller. If you are traveling by road or by two wheeler then on the first day come from Haridwar to Son Prayag by bus and stay in Gaurikund, on the second day trek 16 km and stay in Kedarnath Dham and on the third day come down and stay in Gupt Kashi and on the fourth day Those traveling back to Haridwar by car in a package, their journey is almost the same, but instead of Gauri Kond, they stay in Gupt Kashi or Fata. For those traveling by helicopter, this journey is completed in just 3 days whereas in a package or by two wheeler or For budget travelers, this journey can be of four to five days. Once again all of you are welcome to Kedarnath Dham. Here behind me, if you will see the temple being decorated, that is the whole atmosphere, that is, the feeling of the people here is worth seeing. If you look at their faces, there are different emotions, there is a different spiritual power of the place, which you will feel when you come here. I have not had darshan yet but I will have darshan soon, after that I will share my experience with you. Jai Shri Kedar Har Har Mahadev Kedarnath temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and the temple opens for darshan at 4 to 5 in the morning and remains open from 9 to 10 in the night and I reached around 8:30 in the evening. Once again in the Dham where there was echo of cheers, I have had darshan in Kedarnath Dham and look here early in the morning, sunrise has already happened, the temple behind is getting beautified, yesterday evening itself I had darshan here. But I have come in front of you now because it was a little difficult to make a video at night, so the darshan I had was very good and let me tell you, the darshan took only 15 minutes whereas people had darshan in three to four hours, how it was very easy. When you come here for darshan, come for darshan around 8-8:30 in the night. At that time, there is not much line of wine here. You can do darshan easily, it will take 15 to 20 minutes or half an hour and inside it will be like When you go inside, first of all there is the idol of Draupadi ji, then comes Lakshmi Narayan ji, then comes Arjun ji, Yudhishthir ji, Nakul Sahdev ji is also there and in the middle is our Bholenath ji, there is his Shivling which looks very lovely. And meaning, if you want to have darshan in Garbh Graha, then you can do it here around 2 o'clock in the night. The priests etc. here get it done. In a way, it is a VIP darshan, so you can go to Garbha Graha and have darshan. Can do , so this was important information for you which was very important and when you come, you will enjoy this place completely, you will feel because it is very beautiful, meaning I do not have words, so overall this information was for you and this journey was I hope you liked the video. See you in a new journey at a new destination. Till then Har Har Mahadev.
