If a person is determined then no one can stop him from his goal, just hard work has to be done to reach there, he has to fight every obstacle that comes in between, and only then he gets the destination. You must also be wondering why we do such things, so today we are going to tell about some such religious places, where it becomes difficult for the devotees to reach.
Some travelers form horses and mules in the middle of the road as soon as they arrive, while others wave their legs as they climb. These are some of the places in India where it becomes difficult for travelers to complete the journey. Let us tell you about those temples.
Kedarnath Temple, Uttarakhand
The Kedarnath Temple, located at an altitude of about 3583 meters in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, tops the list. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and Panch Kedars of India. It is believed that this temple was built by the great Hindu monk Adi Shankaracharya around the 8th century. In 2013, Kedarnath was badly damaged by a devastating flood that claimed the lives of thousands of devotees and left hundreds injured. The tracking point of the temple has been changed after the incident. In the new route, you will have to trek 21 km.
