Kedarnath Temple
Tungnath Temple
Rudranath Temple
Madhyamaheshwar Temple
Kalpeshwar Temple
The Panch Kedar Yatra 2026 is ideal for devotees who seek a combination of devotion, high-altitude trekking, and raw Himalayan beauty.
According to legend:
After the Mahabharata war, the Pandavas sought forgiveness from Lord Shiva. Shiva avoided them and disguised himself as a bull. When Bhima tried to capture him, the bull disappeared into the earth. Different parts of Shiva’s body appeared at five locations:
Hump at Kedarnath
Arms at Tungnath
Face at Rudranath
Navel at Madhyamaheshwar
Hair at Kalpeshwar
