Kedarnath Yatra slowed down due to rain and landslides

The effect of rain and landslide is also affecting the journey of Kedarnath Dham. Due to incessant rains, the number of pilgrims coming to Kedarnath Dham has come down drastically these days. These days only one and a half to two thousand pilgrims are reaching the Dham. Till the Kanwar Yatra, there was a long line for darshan in the Dham, but due to less number of devotees reaching the Dham these days, the pilgrims are getting the darshan of Baba Kedar easily. So far 9 lakh 70 thousand pilgrims have reached the court of Baba Kedar.

Huge decrease in the number of devotees
The effect of rain is also being seen on the journey of the world famous Kedarnath Dham. In the Kanwar Yatra, the devotees were reaching Kedarnath after overcoming all the difficulties, whereas after the end of the Kanwar Yatra, the number of devotees has come down drastically. During the Kanwar Yatra, more than eight thousand pilgrims were reaching the Dham, but now only one and a half to two thousand pilgrims are reaching Kedarnath. These days there is no long line for darshan in the Dham.

Reached Kedarnath from Karnataka by bicycle
The journey to Kedarnath Dham is also going by bicycle, while many travelers are unable to overcome the difficult 18 km climb of Kedarnath Dham. But there are some pilgrims who have reached Kedarnath Dham with their cycles. Everyone is surprised to see them. Some such travelers have reached Kedarnath Dham with cycles from Karnataka. Vinay, a traveler who reached Kedarnath by bicycle from Karnataka, said that he has reached here from Karnataka in forty days. He had decided to travel to Kedarnath on foot, but with the power of Baba Kedar, he has reached Kedarnath by bicycle. While DM Mayur Dixit said that these days around one and a half to two thousand pilgrims are reaching Kedarnath. With this, the figure of Kedarnath Yatra is going to cross 10 lakhs. So far 9 lakh 70 thousand devotees have reached the Dham. There is a shortfall in travel right now, but after the end of the monsoon season, there is every possibility of a jump in travel.
