The opening date of the Kedarnath Temple is officially announced every year by the Shri Badrinath–Kedarnath Temple Committee. The exact date depends on weather conditions, snowfall, and route clearance after winter.
The best time to visit Kedarnath depends on your travel preferences. While the temple remains open only for a few months each year, the two most popular seasons are May–June and September–October.
| May – June | September – October |
|---|---|
|
✅ Pleasant weather ✅ Lush green mountains ✅ Ideal for first-time pilgrims ⚠️ Heavy crowd and longer waiting times |
✅ Clear mountain views ✅ Less crowd ✅ Comfortable trekking experience ⚠️ Colder nights compared to May–June |

This part is very emotional for most yatris — because this is where tapasiya begins.
Oxygen kam hoti jaati hai
Heartbeat fast hogi — normal hai
Cold winds at higher altitude
Seniors need more breaks
Water + glucose essential
Don’t buy water bottles at every corner — prices high
Use RO points & refill stations
Walk slow — this is NOT a race
Take 2-minute breaks, not 20-minute breaks
Don’t lie down on the trek path (pulse drops quickly)

Yatrio recommends:
Why?
Helicopter passengers leave by 4 PM
Queue becomes short
Temperature manageable
Calm spiritual atmosphere
But since you stayed overnight, you can also go early morning.
After darshan:
Descend slowly — knees get pressure.
Return to Yatrio Hotel, Guptkashi.
Dinner & overnight stay.
