Preparing your journey...

A peaceful Himalayan trek to the sacred fourth temple of Panch Kedar.
Madhyamaheshwar is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage spot located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand at an altitude of about 3,497 meters. It is the fourth temple of the famous Panch Kedar circuit, where the middle part (navel) of Lord Shiva is worshipped. The journey starts with a scenic drive to Ransi village, followed by an 18 km trek through green valleys, oak forests, and clear mountain streams. The spot is famous for its peaceful atmosphere and clear views of snow-covered Himalayan peaks like Chaukhamba.
Pleasant and cool during summer, wet and slippery in monsoon, and very cold with heavy snow in winter.
