What should you carry on Kedarnath Yatra?

The Kedarnath temple is one of the holiest destinations for Hindus. Every year, lakhs of Hindus visit Kedarnath Dham, located at a high elevation in Uttarakhand. This site is a symbol of serenity and everything sacred for many because it is believed to be the residence of Lord Shiva, the slayer of evil and one of the three gods in Trimurti. Nature has also bestowed several forms of beauty on the region of Kedarnath. Many nature lovers from different places come to see the beauty of Kedarnath. But before beginning the Kedarnath Yatra, there are a few things that every visitor should carry on. 

• Warm clothes: Kedarnath gets cold weather every year, whether summer or winter. It will be warm inside the vehicle, and light clothes will be worn when going to Kedarnath yatra, but as soon as you get out of the car, warm clothing will be required to keep off the chilly winds of the Himalayas. Carry a warm jacket, socks, scarves, and a cap to keep yourself warm.
• Medicines: As we all know, the Kedarnath temple is located at an elevation of 3587 meters above sea level. So, you are likely to contract a cold and develop a fever. So, pack some crucial medicines for your cold and fever. You should also bring medications for vomiting, gastrointestinal disorders, etc. It will assist you on the Kedarnath yatra and save you from being overly reliant on others.
• Choose the right shoes: We recommend you bring the hiking boots for the journey to Kedarnath temple because you will be walking for approximately 18 kilometers, and it will take 9 hours to get there. Choose a pair of shoes that are lightweight, non-slippery, and capable of assisting you in walking in the snow. If you hike frequently, it would be a wise investment.
• Lightweight luggage: If you are only going to Kedarnath for darshan and returning home, you should bring small luggage. Because you have to trek a lot in Kedarnath yatra, if you carry too many extra items, you won't be able to have a comfortable journey. So, keep what is necessary.
