Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Haridwar, one of India’s most sacred cities, to Sonprayag. Covering approximately 233 km in about 7 hours, this route takes you through picturesque landscapes, offering glimpses of lush greenery, diverse wildlife, and noticeable shifts in climate as you ascend to an altitude of 1,829 meters. Comfortable breaks will be taken along the way to ensure a smooth and enjoyable ride. Sonprayag holds deep spiritual significance, as it is believed to be the sacred site where Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were united in marriage, making it a revered destination for pilgrims and travelers alike.
On the second day, we set out on an unforgettable journey to Kedarnath after a restful night in Sonprayag. This part of the adventure involves a 16-kilometer trek, so prepare for an exciting and rejuvenating experience. The day begins with a taxi ride to Gaurikund, the official starting point of the trek.
