Being a Travel Lover I Really Wanted to Go to a Place  which is really interesting,Once in a Life time trip I was Browsing and keep on Thinking what would be the best place to go for. Finally I Have decided for a Trek to feel the Power and The Aura of Lord Shiva.The Best Part is it will be My first Jothirling.
Yes..! It's up the hill,No Road Transport, No Communication System Works, You Just need to walk up for 22 kms in cold to find yourself and to get blessed by Mahadev. Yes, let's All Get your Bags Packed Up for the Ultimate Trek and once in a life time Trek To Kedarnath. Chant with me....
Har Har Mahadev.. Har Har Mahadev...  Har Har Mahadev...Here We Go....

I wonder Always the The people who really work hard staying up in Himalayas and in mountains Won't Charge much when we compared to a restaurant in city. We spend and waste lots of money  for Flavorless and Unappetizing Food.

After the Yummy and Delicious lunch we continued to travel watching out beautiful scenic Views.

finally we Reached Sonprayag at night 10:30pm.
We had our dinner and people guided that we should start for the Trek in the night so that you will have Darshan in the morning. We took a Bolero till Gaurikund which was 4kms Away from the Sonprayag and from there we started our trek at night 2 am Chanting Har Har Mahadev.

There are three possible ways to reach out to Mahadev from Gaurikund.

1.Walk by yourself
2.Take a horse
3.Take a Palki

we Choose to Walk By ourselves it was Amazing feeling Everything was Dark you can see the stars up on you and white noise by the river flows which made us more excited. Now we felt like this is what we needed yes everyone out there saying Har Har Mahadev Har Har Mahadev What a Pleasant feeling of being a Devotee of Trikaleshwar.
We was morning 4 am we continued we felt dehydrated we feel like it was really tough as we are heading upwards. We are just walking for 300 metres and just sitting on a chair or table so many pauses btw it was really hard but the only thing in mind we gotta reach there. We kept moving on...

What an amazing feeling but no strength to reach out there many people are trying out to hardly and hardly you can see the snow in between, Nature is hard to believe it was first time where you don't know what's going to happen  when it is going to rain,You just have to leave yourself to Mahadev and Keep on Going. We completely dried up ourselves we cannot able to move up there.

we finally reached out and we check in to Kedarnath dome cottages which cost us 600 rs per bed we were so much tired and could able to walk we finally slept after having dinner on that night.

We wake up in the morning 6 am believe you it was so much cold and water you touch is freezing temperatures you can't able to wash your face brush up yourself somehow we managed to get freshup we  started to go for darshan, but the morning views were amazing you feel you are in Heaven. Taste of Water what to say you keep on Drinking the water I don't know but the Quality might be of Ph-7. Purest water you will ever taste in your life. It's a blessing to drink water in Kedarnath.

This is What you live For in search of beauty of nature worthy Trek and peaceful you feel so much refreshing in your life and the Scenery injects into you and you fell in love with the nature and imagine we get only one or few chances to visit but He lives over there for each and every second that's why he is called Mahadev,who can bare the most dangerous climate conditions on this Planet He is creater and He is the destroyer,Har Har Mahadev.

It was crowded and it took 4hrs to darshan of Lord, when you enter inside the temple. You forget everything you will shiver and You get in to state of being something powerful hitting on your back you kneel yourself you let yourself to him you start having tears and you feel so much positive and the Aura of Mahadev Impacts you. It's shows and teaches you to start the new life leaving out your past on his shoulders. Finally a Place where Atheist Turns to Theist.
