More About The Panch Kedar Trek
Of all the shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva, the cluster of 5 temples, known as Panch Kedar, is the most revered. The term “Panch Kedar” can be divided into two parts – ‘Panch’ meaning ‘five’ and ‘Kedar’ meaning ‘Lord Shiva.’
Thus, the name ‘Panch Kedar’ is self-explanatory. The Panch Kedar location is not confined to only one place. Thus, the Panch Kedar Yatra map covers five different temples dedicated to Shiva located at different places in Uttarakhand.
Complete Panch Kedar List
The Panch Kedar list of temples is consisted of:
- Kedarnath: Located in Rudraprayag district, at the height of 3, 583 meters, the Kedarnath temple holds a prominent place in the Panch Kedar tour. The Shivling is worshipped in the Kedarnath temple.
- Madhyamaheshwar: Located at an altitude of 3, 497 meters, Madhyamaheshwar is dedicated to worshiping the central part of Shiva.
- Tungnath: Situated at an altitude of 3, 470 m above sea level, Tungnath is the highest Lord Shiva temple in the world. Shiva’s hands are worshipped here.

Best Time for Panch Kedar Trek Tour
The Panch Kedar Yatra is generally undertaken from April to October. During these months, all the Panch Kedar temples remain open to the pilgrims.
However, during the other months, the area experiences extreme winters, with heavy snowfall. Except for Kalpeshwar, the other four temples remain completely inaccessible and snow-covered.
