Gourikund is the end point of Bus journey from where one has to trek to Kedarnath. This place is 2000 meters above sea level and extremely cold. The place is deserted in winter because of extreme cold. As this is the gateway to Kedarnath people go here only in summer when the Kedarnath temple opens.
We visited famous Gouri temple and ganapati temple in Gourikund. Besides there is a shiva temple in front of Gouri temple known as Uma Maheswar temple. There is a hot spring in Gourikund. People take bath in the hotspring before going to Kedarnath. We also took bath in Gourikund hot spring.
Gourikund is a habitation built on both the sides of a route which goes towards Kedarnath. The trekking starts where the habitation of Gourikund ends. You can see hundreds of horses/ponies ready to carry piligrims to Kedarnath. This video shows the detail views of Gourikund. You can see our kedarnath journey in a separate video.
