Best Time to Visit Kedarnath: A Month-by-Month Guide

Planning a Kedarnath Yatra? Find out the ideal months to visit, weather conditions, temple timings, and what to expect at each season of the year.


Kedarnath Temple opens every year around April/May on Akshaya Tritiya and closes shortly after Diwali in November. Best months to visit: - May to June: Ideal pleasant weather, clear mountain views. - September to October: Post-monsoon crisp air, fewer crowds. - July to August: Monsoon season with risk of landslides. Ensure you complete mandatory biometric Yatra registration before starting your journey.
