Day 3

We Checked out from our Hotel and Left for Kedarnath at 6:30AM by Car which was around 223kms from Haridwar. The Road to Kedarnath was under construction While i was going and the Road was not all proper with many Ups and Downs. And then We Reached Sonprayag at nearly 5PM and then we had Some Snacks there and done with our Biometric Registeration in Sonprayag and then went to hotel Nearby. For Pedestrians Local Vehicles were Available at Sonprayag to Reach Gaurikund whick were available for 20Rps Per Passenger. I Suggest everyone to Make sure to Carry some Food items made from home by Travelling to Kedarnath because many there are no Proper food available at Sonprayag and Gaurikund and Kedarnath. U will Only find items like Paratha and Maggie there and rest items are very Rare to find.

Day 4

We Reached to Sersi Helipad in the Morning to go to Kedarnath by Helicopter by Himalayan Heli Services. And We Left for Kedarnath by Helicopter. Within Approximately 7-8 minutes we Reached Kedarnath Helipad which was Nearly 500 metres from Temple and After Reaching Helipad we Went to Join the Queue for Kedarnath Baba's Darshan and the Queue was long enough and it Took almost 3 hrs to get Darshan and After Darshan we Had some snacks there and went to Our Cottages and We Also Felt difficulty in Finding proper Food over Kedarnath as there were no Hotels  there. There were only small shops which have items like Paratha and Tea and Biscuits. And I Suggest everyone to Carry Proper Warm Clothes as it was Very Cold at Kedarnath as it was surrounded by Snowy Mountains all Around there. We Stayed overnight in our Cottage at Kedarnath.
