Kedarnath (or
Kedarnath Main) and
Kedarnath Dome (or
Kedar Dome) are two mountains in the
Gangotri Group of peaks in the western
Garhwal Himalaya in
Uttarakhand state,
India. Kedarnath (Main) lies on the main ridge that lies south of the
Gangotri Glacier, and Kedarnath Dome, a subpeak of the main peak, lies on a spur projecting towards the glacier, two kilometres northwest of Kedarnath. They are at a distance south of the
Hindu holy site of
Gaumukh (the source of the
ganges River). Kedarnath is the highest peak on the south side of the Gangotri Glacier, and Kedarnath Dome is the third highest. Both peaks have relatively easy routes on their northwest sides, but the east face of Kedarnath Dome is a large, very difficult rock climb.
