Delhi-Kedarnath Yatra
“Dilli DilWalon Ki” is a true statement about Delhi, the capital of our country, India. Welcoming people of all religions, this diverse-cultured city is a metropolis and the epicenter of anything you name: politics, trade, a market hub, education, etc. The people of Delhi are adventurous and don’t miss putting vibes into what they do. For thrill and adventure, mountains and hilly terrains are the best options to make a worthwhile experience for life. Also, Delhi is a foodie hub, where people love to savor their taste. Being a crowded city, in Delhi you may hardly get a breath of fresh, quality air and peace, as air quality is very low and cars keep honking in the busy traffic.
People who want to try the adventure, taste some real hilly and nutritious flavors, and get relief from the hubbub of Delhi must visit the revered Kedarnath Dham. Kedarnath, the land of Lord Shiva, where you can venture to the vistas of the Himalayas and seek eternal peace.
In July 2024, the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, participated in the Bhoomi Pujan of Kedarnath Temple (not the original Kedarnath Dham) initiative by the Trustee of Kedarnath Dham Committee (Delhi). Though many controversies arose, they reflected the Delhites’ devotion to Baba Kedar. For people who desire to visit Baba Kedar, Travel Acharya brings an affordable Kedarnath Dham Yatra Package for Dilliwale and devotees from nearby cities around Delhi. We invite devotees, enthusiasts, nature lovers, and adventure seekers to come to the divine place of Kedarnath Dham and enjoy the eye-pleasing views.
