Built in the 8th century by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Adi_Shankara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adi Shankaracharya,<\/a> the stone shrine stands in the shadow of the Kedarnath Peak and Bhairavnath hill, surrounded by glaciers and alpine meadows. The Mandakini river flows nearby, and in the early morning mist, the entire landscape feels otherworldly. Coming here from Hyderabad is a 1,800+ km journey that is absolutely worth every kilometre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border-left:4px solid #25D366; padding:12px 16px; background:#f9f9f9; margin:24px 0; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;\">\n  <strong>Planning your next trip?<\/strong> TravelsYatra offers customised packages from \u20b917,499 with hotel, transfers &amp; guide included.\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/919899383249\" style=\"color:#1a6fc4; font-weight:600;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> WhatsApp us now \u2192<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-time-to-visit\">Best time to visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kedarnath temple opens every year around Akshaya Tritiya (April\/May) and closes on Diwali (October\/November).
