Where is the Kedarnath Temple? A Simple Guide
Have you ever heard of the Kedarnath Temple? It's a very old and important temple in India. Many people go there to pray. But where exactly is it? Let's find out in a simple way.

The Kedarnath Temple is in a place called Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand is a state in the northern part of India. Think of India like a big map, and Uttarakhand is towards the top. It's a very beautiful place with big mountains and lots of green trees.

Now, inside Uttarakhand, the Kedarnath Temple is in a special area high up in the mountains. This area is called the Garhwal Himalayas. The Himalayas are the biggest mountains in the world! Kedarnath is nestled among these giant, snow-covered peaks.

To be even more specific, the temple is near a town also called Kedarnath. This town is in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. Imagine a big circle (Uttarakhand), then a smaller circle inside it (Rudraprayag), and then a tiny spot within that small circle where the Kedarnath town and temple are.

The temple is very high up, about 3,583 meters (11,755 feet) above the sea. That's even higher than many clouds! Because it's so high, the weather there can be very cold, and there is snow for many months of the year.

So, to put it simply:
Country: India
State: Uttarakhand
Mountain Range: Garhwal Himalayas
District: Rudraprayag
Near: Kedarnath town
Height: Very high up in the mountains

Getting to Kedarnath is a journey through beautiful mountains. People travel by different ways, sometimes walking, sometimes riding on ponies, to reach this holy place.

Now you know where the Kedarnath Temple is located! It's a special place high in the mountains of Uttarakhand, India.
