Madmaheshwar trek full itinerary 2026
The Madhyamaheshwar Trek (also spelt Madmaheshwar or Madhyamaheshwar) is one of the most spiritually enriching and visually stunning journeys in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India. As the second temple in the sacred Panch Kedar circuit (after Kedarnath), it holds profound religious significance for devotees of Lord Shiva. According to Hindu mythology, as recounted in the Mahabharata, after the Kurukshetra War, the Pandavas sought forgiveness from Shiva, who disguised himself as a bull and disappeared into the ground. His body parts emerged at five locations: the navel (madhya or nabhi) appeared at Madhyamaheshwar, giving the temple its name. The Pandavas built the shrine here to atone for their sins.
