The Rudranath Trek is unique from all the others we have guided in the Himalaya. This is a difficult pilgrimage trek, located in the Sagar Village, Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, brings you to 11,800 feet and old stone walls that shelter the holy face of Lord Shiva. The trek is not just special because of where you end up - it is special because of how you will be transformed in five days during the course of the trek to this hidden place.
Trekking
You might have heard of the other sacred treks, yet nothing can prepare you for the unrefined spiritual power and rigorous exertion that the Rudranath Trek will put demands on you. This is not just another mountain experience, it is a life-changing pilgrimage to one of the most isolated and difficult Panch Kedar temples. At the end of a 22-kilometer trek through unforgiving condition in the Himalayas is the face of Lord Shiva waiting for those who are able to finish. If your goal is to trek leisurely, feel free to stop reading this now, but if you are ready to test your physical limits while engaging with the meaningful spirituality of a tradition that’s centuries old, the Rudranath Trek will test every assumption you have about yourself.Trek Location:
At the heart of the Garhwal Himalayas, Rudranath Temple is safely located within the boundaries of the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary. This will not be a trek where you will encounter a busy trail filled with recreational hikers: there is a reason that the location is remote and the terrain is challenging - you have to be serious about becoming a trekker.Trek Type:
Moderate to difficult trek which requires an experienced hiker in good physical condition to participate. Unlike routes designated for beginner abilities, Rudranath does not forgive those who were not fit prior to starting the trek.
