Kedarnath mandir open date
Hello…
What is Chardham
Sir,
We are determined to go Kedarnathji on 1st May, 2018, but we don’t know when Mandir will open, on internet somebody is writing opening date is 29th April, 22nd April, 2018. what is the exact date?
Thx, Rgds,
Dear Utpal ji, Nobody can decide the exact date of Kedarnath opening at this moment. Kedarnath temple opening date is decided by the priests after several calculations on Maha Shivratri, which will fall on 13 Feb next year. If you are early in your planning to visit Kedarnath then please schedule your planning few days after Akshay Tritya, which will fall on 18 April in 2018, as Kedarnath temple will open on or after few days of Akshay Tritya.
Hope this information will help you !!
normally its open on Akshay Trutiya and close on Bhai dooj after diwali.

Hi Komal, In monsoon (mid June to mid Aug) Chardham yatra continue with some glitches as rain disrupts road many times. But the administration is taking all measures to tackle any situation. You can also check the weather forecast before leaving for Chardham. Or you can do your bookings for September which is a best time for yatra as you can enjoy the green paradise at the hills.
