Adi Shankaracharya is credited with reviving Kedarnath and Badrinath and founding four mathas across India — Sringeri in Karnataka is one, Jyotirmath near Badrinath another. For Bengaluru pilgrims, travelling from one to the other gives the yatra a special meaning. His samadhi shrine stands behind the Kedarnath temple.

Bengaluru to Haridwar is about 44 hours by rail, so we plan this trip around a 3-hour flight to Dehradun.
