In the first 4 days of Kedarnath Yatra, the number of devotees has crossed one lakh. On Monday alone, 26,180 devotees visited the holy shrine. Since the temple doors opened, a total of 1,05,879 Shiva devotees have had darshan of Baba Kedarnath.
The Kedarnath Yatra, which began on May 2, has witnessed a massive influx of devotees right from the day the temple doors were opened. On the very first day, 30,154 Shiva devotees reached the shrine. On Monday, devotees started lining up at the temple from 4 a.m. By 8 a.m., a long queue had formed along the Mandakini Astha Path based on token numbers.
At 2 p.m., the offering of “Bal Bhog” was made to Baba Kedarnath, during which the temple remained closed for nearly an hour. From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., devotees continued to have darshan. A large number of devotees also participated in the evening aarti. Girish Dewli, in charge of the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee, stated that all devotees are being provided with smooth and accessible darshan.
Meanwhile, since the opening of the Kedarnath temple doors, over 3,000 devotees have arrived at the shrine via helicopter in just three days. This year, eight heli companies are operating nine helicopters from different helipads in the Kedarnath valley. Over the past three days, the nine helicopters have completed 572 shuttle trips. During this period, 3,074 passengers arrived in Kedarnath by helicopter and 2,838 returned after darshan. Despite adverse weather conditions, helicopters have been taking off since morning from different helipads in Guptkashi, Phata, and Sersi. Rahul Chaubey, the nodal officer for Kedarnath helicopter services, informed that the service was affected several times during the first two days due to bad weather.
Since the yatra started at the state level from May 4, the sequence of regular pilgrims arriving in Kedarnath increased day by day. On the opening of the doors, 30154 devotees had darshan of Baba Kedar on the first day.
Char Dham tour packages typically begin from popular starting points such as Delhi, Haridwar, Rishikesh, or Dehradun. Pilgrims need to reach one of these locations to start their sacred Char Dham Yatra. If you are traveling from another state in India, you must arrange your journey to the starting point on your own. Alternatively, you can request your chardham tour operator to organize transportation from your location to the starting point for a seamless travel experience.
By ensuring proper char dham travel arrangements in advance, you can avoid unnecessary hassles and focus entirely on your spiritual journey through the Char Dham circuit. Whether you choose to handle your travel or rely on your travel agent, planning ahead will make your char dham yatra stress-free and more fulfilling.
