A sacred Garhwal town where Kedarnath's winter worship continues, surrounded by terraced villages, temple bells, forests, and snowy horizons.
About the place
Ukhimath is the winter seat of Lord Kedarnath, with worship centred at the Omkareshwar Temple when the high shrine closes. The town sits among terraced slopes and wooded ridges, serving both as a spiritual destination and a useful base for Chopta, Deoria Tal, Madhyamaheshwar and nearby villages.
