Tips for first-time visitors to Kedarnath

For first-time visitors to Kedarnath, the following tips will help you enjoy your time there.

  • Bring a camera with you so that you can capture all of the beautiful sights of nature that surround Kedarnath Temple. You'll also want to bring water bottles in case it becomes too hot for comfort (or too cold). If you are going on an Ekdham Yatra trip with helicopter tour companies like ours then we recommend bringing maps and guidebooks as well because they can provide valuable information about any landmarks along the way such as temples or viewpoints along riverside paths where we fly over them at high altitude levels during our flights over these sacred sites which include Shringeshwar Mahadev Temple located near Rishikesh district headquarters town which lies just above 5500 feet below sea level level elevation point while another famous Hindu pilgrimage site called Badrinath Temple lies just above 4200 meters above sea level elevation point where both these holy shrines were built centuries ago during medieval times before modern technology made such things possible today via helicopters instead using roads only because roads aren't suitable enough for heavy vehicles like trucks/cars etc..

What to pack for the Kedarnath helicopter tour

  • Wear comfortable clothes. It's not only your body that will be moving around, but also the helicopter, so make sure you are prepared for it.

  • Wear a hat and sunscreen! You don't want to get sunburned while on this trip, especially if you are visiting Kedarnath during monsoon season (June-September).

  • Wear sunglasses—you'll need them if there is any dust in the air because it can cause irritation and itching of eyes and skin.

  • Bring along a camera or phone so that you can take pictures along the way; this will help ensure that all of your memories are captured in photos rather than just words!
