📍 Rudranath’s Raudra Roop | PANCH KEDAR YATRA | Day 7
I started from Sagar Village at 5:30 AM and after a 22 km trek, reached Rudranath Mandir at 12:10 PM. Unfortunately, the temple had already closed.
Instead of waiting until 3–3:30 PM and risking a late return, I visited Saraswati Kund. Surrounded by beautiful bugyals, the peaceful atmosphere was unforgettable. The mountain behind the temple even looks like a human face — believed to represent Mahadev’s face, the very form worshipped at Rudranath. 🙏🏻
Soon, drizzle turned into a heavy hailstorm that continued for nearly 1.5 hours. With another 22 km back to Sagar Village and Kalpeshwar waiting the next day, the journey back was going to be challenging. 🌧️🧊
