Kedarnath Dham Yatra
RAINBOW FRIEND’S TOUR OF KEDARNATH
On 2nd June 2009 we a group of 7 Rainbow Friends went on the journey to Kedarnath. We took a Gypsy for our journey. The Director Of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve & Conservator of Forest, Respected Mr. Paramjeet Singh Ji invited us for a Plastic and Polythene Removal Program in Kedarnath Valley from 03 to 05 June 2009. On our way to Kedarnath we also passed through from some famous places such as: Karanprayag, Rudraprayag, Adi Badri, Gauchar, Gairsain, Guptkashi, Sonprayag, Gauri Kund etc. On first night we stayed at Rudraprayag. Next morning we moved forward to Sitapur, two kilometers before Sonprayag, where Mr. Paramjeet ji was waiting for us. We stayed at Hotel J.P.G. Palace, Sitapur for next two days and did some plastic and polythene removal activities. On 5th June we started our 14 km. trek to Kedarnath from Gauri Kund. We started our trek at 12 noon but we reached Kedarnath little late at about 7:30 p.m. due to heavy rain and light snowfall on the way. On next morning after worshipping in the Kedarnath Temple we started our journey back to Sitapur at about 10:30 a.m. After reaching Sitapur we picked our bags, took our gypsy and went to Gopeshwar. We went to the residence of Mr. Paramjeet Singh Ji. Next evening we went to see the famous Gopinath Temple with him. On 8th of June we came back to Ramnagar at about 8:30 p.m. This journey was so beautiful that I can’t express my feelings in words. Only I can say is that “FEEL THE SCENIC BEAUTY OF UTTARAKHAND (LAND OF GODS).”

TEMPERATURE : 4 degrees C to 42 degrees C
Located in the foothills of Himalaya in the closest proximity of Ramnagar an small town. Corbett National Park(the First National Park of India) was established in 1936, as The Hailey National Park(named in the honor of Sir Malcolm Hailey, the governor of united provinces). After independence, the name was changed to Ramganga National Park in 1952 but was finally changed to Jim Corbett National Park in 1957 named after the legendary hunter, naturalist-turned-author and Photographer who had helped in setting up the park and demarcating its boundaries. Corbett is India's forst national park and the first sanctuary to come under Project Tiger in 1973 with the help of World Wildlife Fund.Corbett Tiger Reserve today holds probably the second largest population of free living tigers in the world.

Nearly 600 Asian elephants ( Elephas maximums) also have a home in this tiger reserve, and can be seen wondering leisurely along its length and breadth. CTR, along with the Rajaji National Park also represents the North-western most limits of Tiger and Elephant Distribution in the Indian subcontinent.The area is also home of about 600 species of resident and migratory birds. This amazingly rich avifaunal diversity represents nearly 6% of the total birds species represented in the world and is more then the total bird diversity of Europe. The 49 species of diurnal raptors found here are characteristic elements of this avifauna. The avifaunal diversity is at its peak during winters.MOST PREFERRED REST HOUSES OF TOURIST ZONE OF CORBETT NATIONAL PARK:Presently, CTR (Corbett tiger reserve) has five Tourism Zones.
