Title: The trek and darshan — Gaurikund to Kedarnath

Trek on foot (~16 km one-way; moderate to strenuous depending on fitness) with regular halts, or
-
Hire a pony/palanquin (subject to availability) or
-
Opt helicopter (if booked separately — highly weather dependent and expensive).
The trail follows the Mandakini river, with switchbacks, stone steps and mountain views.
