Sir, My wife is mild asthma patient, if we go by ponny in kedarnath and stayed there at night in kedarnath, will it be create any problem in night and in emergency what measures are taken by kedarnath health camp for breathing problem if occured.
Dear Kaushik, as Kedarnath is located in high altitude and there is always lesser oxygen levels. Mild asthama patient will not have serious problem. There are medical camps for providing first aid etc, but take a compact oxygen cylinder with you for precaution. Also in case of emergency, contact nearest medical camp.

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 !!

Can I get darshan at kedarnath jyotirlinga temple on 18th October 2017. How much time does it take on pony ride from Gaurikund to Kedarnath shrine. Can we return the same evening of the day by pony. I read in one of your blogs that Shrine closes on 1st day of Karthik. I am not sure when it is – Does the temple close down on the day of diwali with last aarti or is it on some other day. Kindly answer my question that would be of great help to plan my onward journey if timings are known. Thanks and Regards in Advance, Bye and Take Care
Kedarnath temple will be closed on Bhai Dooj after morning pooja. This year it will fall on 21 Oct. That means you will get darshan on 18th Oct. Pony ride will take 5-6 hrs to reach Gaurikund to Kedarnath. Yes you can get back on same day on pony.

Hi Komal, As you are planning in August you will watch lush green hills everywhere. Your son is 4 yrs old, he can easily walk there and you can use kandi for him if you find any problem. Our representative will provide you complete details.
Hows weather in august at their lots of people telling me it’s dangerous to in august isnt it’s true??
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.
For on line booking registration date. I would be trekking from Gauri kund to Kedarnath ON 7TH MAY and Darshan will be on 8th may, so what would be my booking registration date
