Set out for Guptkashi after breakfast. The drive takes you through winding mountain roads with peaceful views of valleys and rivers along the way.
After an early start, drive to Gaurikund. From there, begin the journey to Kedarnath—either on foot (approx. 16 km) or by booking a helicopter, if available. Once at the temple, you can spend time offering prayers and stay overnight either near the temple or head back down to Sonprayag, depending on your comfort and plans.

Best Time to Visit Chardham
The yatra opens in late April or early May (Akshaya Tritiya) and continues until October/early November (just before Diwali). May-June and September-October are the most recommended months due to moderate weather.
