 KEDARNATH
• Kedarnath Temple (Sanskrit: के दारनाथ मंदिर, IAST: Kēdāranātha
Mandira, lit. 'temple of the lord of the field') is a Hindu temple
 (shrine) dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva. The temple is located
on the Garhwal Himalayan range near the Mandakini river, in the
state of Uttarakhand, India. Due to extreme weather conditions,
the temple is open to the general public only between the months
of April (Akshaya Tritiya) and November (Kartik Purnima, the
autumn full moon). During the winters, the vigraha (deity) from
Kedarnath temple is carried down to Ukhimath and where the
deity is worshiped for the next six months. Kedarnath is seen as a
homogenous form of Shiva, the 'Lord of Kedarkhand', the
historical name of the region.[1]
 YAMUNOTRI
• Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna River and the seat of
the Goddess Yamuna in Hinduism. It is situated at an altitude
of 3,293 metres (10,804 ft) in the Garhwal Himalayas and
located approximately 30 kilometers (19 mi) North of 
Uttarkashi, the headquarters of the Uttarkashi district in the 
Garhwal Division of Uttarakhand, India. It is one of the four
sites in India's Chhota Char Dham pilgrimage. The sacred
shrine of Yamunotri, source of the river Yamuna, is the
westernmost shrine in the Garhwal Himalayas, perched atop a
flank of Bandar Poonch Parvat. The chief attraction at
Yamunotri is the temple devoted to the Goddess Yamuna and
the holy thermal springs at Janki Chatti (7 km. Away).
 GANGOTRI
• Gangotri is a town and a Nagar Panchayat
 (municipality) in Uttarkashi district in the state of 
Uttarakhand, India. It is a Hindu pilgrim town on
the banks of the river Bhagirathi and origin of 
river Ganges. It is on the Greater Himalayan Range,
at a height of 3,100 metres (10,200 ft). According
to popular Hindu legend, it was here that Goddess
Ganga descended when Lord Shiva released the
mighty river from the locks of his hair.
 TUNGNATH
• Tungnath (Sanskrit:तुंगनाथ) (IAST:tuņgnāth) is one of the
highest Shiva temples in the world[1] and is the highest of
the five Panch Kedar temples located in the Rudraprayag
district, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The Tungnath
(literal meaning: Lord of the peaks) mountains form the 
Mandakini and Alaknanda river valleys. It is located at an
altitude of 3,470 m (11,385 ft), and just below the peak
of Chandrashila.[2] and is the third(tritya Kedar) in the
pecking order of the Panch Kedars. It has a rich legend
linked to the Pandavas, heroes of the Mahabharata epic.
