Kedarnath has experienced severe cold, with the minimum temperature reported at minus 6 degrees Celsius. Badrinath and Gangotri have each recorded minimum temperatures of minus 5 degrees Celsius, while Yamunotri’s minimum temperature was reported at around 1 degree Celsius.
The falling temperatures reflect the impact of precipitation and snowfall across the mountain region. Conditions at high altitudes can change rapidly, and fresh snowfall may bring additional challenges for pilgrims, tourists and local residents.
Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri are important pilgrimage destinations in Uttarakhand. During colder weather, visitors travelling to these locations need to pay close attention to local forecasts and official advisories, particularly where snow or icy conditions may affect roads and walking routes.
Travellers are advised to check the latest weather updates and route conditions before setting out. They should also carry suitable warm clothing and follow instructions issued by local authorities.
The report does not specify the exact observation time for each temperature or identify the location where the minimum of minus 8 degrees Celsius was recorded. The figures should therefore be treated as reported readings rather than a verified statewide temperature summary.
With temperatures below freezing at several pilgrimage sites, weather conditions remain an important consideration for anyone planning travel in Uttarakhand’s mountainous areas.
