Kedarnath Darshan — Family Trip“Driver Shri Rajendra ji bahut supportive the. Sonprayag tak smooth ride mili, aur elders ke liye sab arrangements pehle se hi ho gaye the. Dhanyawad!”
The Kedarnath Yatra from Pune is thoughtfully arranged for devotees traveling from Maharashtra to the sacred Kedarnath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The journey generally starts with a flight or train from Pune to Delhi or Dehradun, followed by a scenic road transfer through Haridwar or Rishikesh toward Guptkashi and Gaurikund in the Garhwal Himalayas.
This yatra includes a private vehicle with an experienced hill driver for the Uttarakhand route, ensuring safe and comfortable travel on winding mountain roads and changing weather conditions. Travelers may choose from Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller according to group size and comfort preferences. The itinerary is planned with sufficient rest and acclimatization before the 18 km trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath. Optional services such as helicopter bookings, pony or palki assistance, extra stay nights, and hotel upgrades can be included on request. With dependable transfers and careful planning, this yatra allows pilgrims from Pune to focus fully on their Kedarnath Darshan and spiritual journey.

A Kedarnath Yatra from Pune generally takes 9 to 11 days, depending on whether you travel by flight or train to Delhi or Dehradun, followed by road travel and the trek to Kedarnath. Additional buffer days may be included for weather or acclimatization.
The most convenient route is Pune → Delhi or Dehradun (by flight/train) → Haridwar / Rishikesh → Guptkashi / Sonprayag → Gaurikund → Kedarnath. This route offers smooth connectivity, planned halts, and better overall travel comfort.
The ideal time to visit Kedarnath from Pune is May to June and September to mid-October. These months provide stable weather and safer trekking conditions in the Himalayan region.

Yes, helicopter services operate from Phata, Sersi, and Guptkashi. Pilgrims from Pune must first reach Delhi or Dehradun and then continue by road to these helipad locations. Services depend on weather conditions and seat availability.
The Kedarnath trek is 18 km from Gaurikund and is considered moderate to challenging. The route is well-developed with rest shelters, medical camps, and food stalls, but basic physical fitness is required due to altitude and distance.

Accommodation includes hotels or guesthouses at Haridwar, Guptkashi, Sonprayag, or Sitapur. Near Kedarnath Temple, accommodation is basic and limited, mostly dormitory-style due to high-altitude conditions.
Pilgrims should carry warm woolen clothes, rain jacket, sturdy trekking shoes, personal medicines, ID proof, power bank, and registration slip. Weather in Kedarnath can change suddenly, even during summer.
Yes, Kedarnath Yatra from Pune is often combined with Badrinath Yatra as a Do Dham Yatra. Such combined itineraries usually take 11 to 13 days, depending on travel pace, flights, and rest days.
