After Darshan, you will follow the same way and return to Sonpraag. Due to the immense parking shortage, drivers will have to return to another place if their contact number is not working, meaning drivers will need to assist waiting taxis or other drivers.
• Kedarnath – The scenic Kedarnath shrine rests beside the impressive Kedarnath range and is believed to be one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Kedar, a name often used to identify Lord Shiva, is also said to be the name used in this region. As per folklore, the Pandavas, wishing to seek revenge on the Kauravas in the war of Kurukshetra, sought to defeat the Kauravas. Since they had killed their brothers, they sought the blessing of Lord Shiva. “Lord Shiv granted him several boons that he was surely seizing to elude. One night, after taking refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull, he was set to be captured. When he was pursued, he jumped into a crevice and left his hump on the surface.” As he moved to escape, he repeatedly perplexed them.

Day seven marks the ‘darshan’ or the visual expression of devotion to the divine. After Darshan in the morning, I will rest and adjust to the Guptakashi region for the remainder of the day. The accommodation I will stay in at Guptakashi is a hotel.
