Tour Description

The Rudranath Trek is a beautiful and peaceful journey to one of the Panch Kedar temples of Lord Shiva. Located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, Rudranath Temple is set inside a natural rock cave at an altitude of around 3,600 meters. It is one of the toughest and most scenic treks among the Panch Kedar, offering both spiritual peace and mountain adventure.

This trek usually starts from Sagar Village near Gopeshwar, which is a quiet place surrounded by forests and hills. From here, the trek to Rudranath is around 20 km, passing through thick forests, green meadows (called bugyals), flowing streams, and snow-capped mountain views. The route is full of natural beauty, with peaceful spots like Lyuti Bugyal, Panar Bugyal, and Pitra Dhar on the way.

The main temple is dedicated to the face (mukh) form of Lord Shiva. Surrounded by high Himalayan peaks and rhododendron trees, the temple gives a strong feeling of calmness and devotion. People also visit nearby spots like Anusuya Devi Temple and Nandikund while on the Rudranath trail.

The Rudranath Trek is best for nature lovers, trekking enthusiasts, and spiritual seekers who want to explore offbeat trails in the Himalayas. The journey is challenging, but every step brings you closer to nature and divinity.

Our tour includes transport, meals, camping stays, guides, and all support needed during the trek. Whether you’re a first-time trekker or a seasoned traveler, this experience will stay in your heart forever.
