Panch Kedar Yatra

Package code: PKSY-2023

Description

Panchkedar consists of five Shiva temples (Kedarnath, Madhamaheshwar, Tunganath, Rudranath, and Kalpeshwar) spread over the Uttarakhand Himalayas - accessible by trekking on the steep mountain footpaths, crossing scores of waterfalls, beautiful meadows, and virgin villages perched on the mountain peaks and deep forests full of birds and wild animals.

The Pandavas after annihilating the Kauravas in the Kurukshetra war went to the Himalayas to meet Lord Shiva, but the Lord tried to avoid the meeting due to the Gotra Hatya (Killing their brother and relatives) committed by the Pandavas. Disguised as a bull tried to plunge beneath the ground. But Bhima was quick and caught the bull by the hind legs. In the struggle that followed, the different parts of Lord Shiva's body appeared at various places in the Himalayas. The forelegs showing up at Pashupatinath in Nepal, the rump of the bull at Kedarnath, the torso including the navel at Madhmaheshwar, the arms at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, and the matted hair at Kalpeshwar.
