    Overview

    The Rudranath Trek is a spiritual and adventurous journey to one of the Panch Kedar temples, where Lord Shiva’s face is worshipped in a natural rock formation. Located at 11,811 ft, this offbeat trek offers breathtaking views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Nanda Ghunti peaks.

    The trail from Sagar Village passes through lush forests, alpine meadows, and serene ridges, making it both challenging and rewarding. With fewer crowds than Kedarnath, it provides a peaceful and deeply spiritual experience.

    Best visited in May-June and September-October, the Rudranath Trek is perfect for those seeking divine blessings and Himalayan beauty in an untouched setting.
