Kedarnath, Mountain in the Gangotri Group, Uttarakhand, India

Kedarnath is the highest peak on the south side of the Gangotri Glacier, in the Gangotri Group of the western Garhwal Himalaya, Uttarakhand. Its subpeak Kedarnath Dome, also called Kedar Dome, stands two kilometres northwest on a spur projecting toward the glacier and is the third highest of the group. Both lie about 15 kilometres south of Gaumukh, the source of the Ganges.

Kedarnath and Kedarnath Dome were first climbed together in 1947 by a Swiss team led by André Roch. Their route on the northwest flank of Kedarnath Dome remains the standard line. In 1989 a Hungarian expedition under Attila Ozsváth climbed the dome's east face over sixty pitches of very hard climbing.

The mountain shares its name with the sacred temple town at its base, where Hindu pilgrims come during the accessible season. The local community has long connected this place with spiritual importance and views it as a holy site.

Climbers establish multiple camps during the ascent, with early camps positioned around 4,900 meters in extreme cold conditions. The route requires good physical fitness and careful planning due to the demanding altitude and weather challenges.

Kedarnath Dome's northwest flank, the route André Roch's Swiss team took in 1947, is low-angle enough to be a popular spring ski ascent. The east face, by contrast, was only climbed in 1989, by a Hungarian expedition under Attila Ozsváth, in a climb of sixty pitches of very hard climbing.
