Mumbai to Kedarnath distance is around 1,900 km by road and takes 36–38 hours, making direct travel impractical. The best option is to take a direct flight from Mumbai to Dehradun (2.5 hrs). From Dehradun, Kedarnath is about 250 km by road (8–9 hrs) up to Sonprayag, then a 5 km drive to Gaurikund and a 16 km trek to the temple. Alternatively, pilgrims can fly to Delhi and continue by train or road to Haridwar/Rishikesh, then proceed to Kedarnath. Flights to Dehradun are the fastest and most comfortable connectivity for senior citizens and families.

Best Time to Visit Kedarnath from Mumbai
Kedarnath remains open only between May and November each year, and choosing the right month can make your journey safer and more comfortable.
- Best Months: May–June (pleasant summer weather, ideal for trekking) and September–October (post-monsoon, clear skies, fewer crowds).
- Avoid: July–August due to heavy monsoon rains that often cause landslides, slippery trekking paths, and road closures.
- Winter Closure: The temple closes in November for winter and reopens in May.
Travellers from Mumbai should plan at least 2–3 months in advance for these peak seasons, as hotels and helicopter slots get booked early.
Packing & Travel Tips for Kedarnath Yatra from Mumbai
The Kedarnath Yatra involves high-altitude trekking, unpredictable weather, and long travel days. Packing smart and preparing well will make the journey safer and more comfortable.
- Clothing: Carry layered warm clothes — thermal innerwear, fleece or woollen sweaters, and a good windproof jacket. Add a raincoat or poncho, especially if travelling during May–June or September when showers are common. Gloves, woollen socks, and a muffler/neck warmer are essential to protect against cold winds.
- Footwear: Invest in sturdy trekking shoes with strong grip and ankle support. Avoid brand-new shoes — break them in at least a week before your trip to prevent blisters. Carry an extra pair of warm socks.
- Health: Get a basic medical check-up before the trip to ensure you are fit for high-altitude travel. If you have heart, respiratory, or knee problems, consult your doctor. Keep personal medicines, altitude sickness tablets, pain relief spray, and a small first-aid kit.
- Bookings: Hotels in Guptkashi, Sonprayag, and Kedarnath, as well as helicopter tickets, should be booked at least 1–2 months in advance during yatra season (May–June and September–October). Last-minute bookings are difficult due to high demand.
- Cash: Carry sufficient cash, as ATMs may be unavailable or non-functional in upper hill areas. Keep small denominations handy for pony/palki services, tea shops, and small expenses.
- Other Essentials: Sunglasses, sunscreen (SPF 30+), lip balm, reusable water bottle, quick-dry towels, torch/flashlight with spare batteries, and power bank for charging phones.
- Trek Preparation: If trekking from Gaurikund, start early morning to avoid crowds and give yourself enough time for a comfortable pace. For elderly travellers, pre-book pony or palki services.
