Kedarnath is the abode of spirituality at Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. Facing the Mandakini river, surrounded by snow capped peaks, now is an ideal time to travel to Kedarnath. Kashmir called paradise on earth, surrounded by gardens, lakes and peaks, May is an ideal time to visit Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam. Though you might not encounter much of snow for now, still the weather is cool and cold by nights during summer. Based on summer month running now, both are ideal places to visit. The choice is yours, though I would suggest Kashmir.
Both Kedarnath and Kashmir are amazing destinations, but they offer completely different experiences. Kedarnath is a spiritual pilgrimage in the Himalayas, known for the Kedarnath Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. It is ideal for those seeking devotion, peace, and trekking adventures. The journey to Kedarnath is challenging but spiritually rewarding. Kashmir, on the other hand, is a paradise for nature lovers, famous for its snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, lakes, and gardens. It is perfect for a relaxing vacation, honeymoon, or adventure activities like skiing, houseboat stays, and shikara rides on Dal Lake. If you seek spirituality and adventure, choose Kedarnath. If you prefer scenic beauty and leisure, go for Kashmir. What kind of experience are you looking for? 😊
