It’s also a dream for many people.To witness Kedarnath.

Kedarnath Shivling!

Let’s go to Kedarnath Shivling. Its been a long journey to come across this main blog .I can’t drag anymore. Come on, Let’s feel the divinity and happiness all – throughout the blog . The next part is our ‘heaven’.

Kedarnath Shivling Peak View

After getting helicopter boarding pass in Phata .My slot got postponed to next 2 hours. Waited in Tuliya Heli resorts for those two hours. I killed the time by watching the beauty of kedarnath peak in Phata .As the Kedarnath peak is high we can see it in Phata.Kedarnath Shivling cannot be spotted though.

Flying -Kedarnath Shivling

After 2 hours. Helicopter staff gives instructions .Finally everything settles in place. Pilot started our helicopter. And yes, I’m flying so high in GARHWAL Himalayas .It was like a daydream, flying in between the mountains of Garhwal Himalayas. A truly big dream land.Army people would visit Kedarnath so often.Flying just for the sake of Kedarnath.All ready to see Kedarnath Shivling.

Army Movements in Phata

Phata to Kedarnath Shivling journey takes 7-8 mins. As morning slot postponed due to army movements. Army helicopters will fly at that time. Uttarakhand is an Indo-china border. Many armies were staying in the uphill of each peak. Its freezing.

Somehow, they were getting trained by the Indian Government. I saw a bunch of trainers climbing the tree with the help of a rope. They were also getting trained for climbing mountains. Every task is difficult. They dedicate their life towards the nation.Kedarnath will help them.Kedarnath gives unknown support and trust.

Availing a Trek

The view of garhwal himalayas was super cool. The top view of trekking way can be spotted from helicopter. The zig zag curves of trekking path with glaciers gave goosebumps. Genuinely it is difficult to walk 17 kilometers to land on Kedarnath Shivling.Thanking Kedarnath baba for getting this new flying experience .Really much spirit and will power will be needed to take that trek .As the oxygen level was just 40 percent one needs to be hydrated and should have maximum stamina.Moreover Kedarnath will take care of everything.

The Best Moments

The helicopter journey was insane. Flying in between the big big majestic mountains .I madly became glad on observing everything. The snow caps with clouds .Oh my god !It was more than perfect. No words to explain.Kedarnath is wow.

Though the journey didn’t last more than 8 minutes it was the best. I would rate number ‘1’ as this trip out of my all trips in India. I bet that no trip would satisfy my soul this much. This was lifetime settlement. Before reaching kedarnath ,I saw a small temple view from top.

Landing dowm to Heaven – Kedarnath Shivling

Oh Kedarnath baba! Thank you so much for inviting me here. My heart filled with abundant joy .My soul started jumping. I felt like “I am the happiest human in this world”. I shouted down from my stomach so hard with joy. Came to kedarnath Shivling finally. And yes,it happened finally. Slowly the helicopter landed in heaven. It landed in the helipad of Kedarnath .I stepped slowly in my dreamland.

Madness over Kedarnath Shivling!

Dreams do come true. Yes, my god! my dreams came true. What else I need in life hereafter than Kedarnath Shivling . This is enough. My birth reason got over. I can die peacefully hereafter. Kedarnath Shivling welcomed me with his Strong cold winds all over.

It was freezing .My teeth started to dance. The cold baba’s wind paved way towards heaven-Kedarnath. This is the only heaven on earth. Oh my Kedarnath ,damn beauty. The crystal mountains shines with smile.

Truly Magical

Abruptly my soul filled to 100 percent direct. Truly Kedarnath is a Magical world in the universe. The mountains are filled with snow. It looks like painting. Clouds strikes ,I can even touch it.

Smiling people all over ,crystal brown glitters in snow white mountains, cute sunny shades striking on the temple’s tomb, the soothing sound of Mandakini river, magical stone behind temple, holy vibes of music. Everything was astonishing .I felt immense joy .Baba called me and helped me crossing thousands of kilometers to meet him.

2013 Floods – Kedarnath Shivling

There was a stone.During 2013 floods, in between the two mountains – cloud bursts happened. Cloud bursts paved the way to immense rainfall in a single region. Due to the high rainfall in Kedarnath Shivling,water tends to flow rigorously .

Leading to the destruction of the small village. All the buildings, houses ,huts destroys. Everything destroys .But baba’s temple alone survived without any damage .How?

Alive during 2013 floods

Due to heavy rainfall,a big magical stone got stuck behind the temple.So the magical stone separated the way of water into two unique directions. So the water went both the sides aside of the temple.Thereby no damage for the temple and Kedarnath Shivling.

The stone came from nowhere. Somehow Kedarnath Shivling saved the temple .One more interesting fact was 3 people alive even after the flood.

It seems out of many hundreds and thousands of people only 3 got survived. As they 3 were inside the Kedarnath temple. Everything is Kedarnath Shivling -baba’s play.

Untiring queue ahead of me -Kedarnath Shivling

The queue standing in front of Kedarnath Shivling temple was insane .Thousands of people took a trek only for Kedarnath Shivling .I thought I couldn’t see Kedarnath Shivling inside the temple. My mind got changed .Coming here is my kind of luck. Seeing him is not my thing. I thought in this way.

It will take 8 -10 hours to wait in queue .But ,I have only 3 hours in Kedarnath Shivling .Otherwise helicopter slot would be cancelled. I saw a shopkeeper and had a unknown conversation with him.
