Which month is best for Kedarnath yatra?

The Kedarnath Yatra is one of the most important pilgrimages in the country. Kedarnath, located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand's Garhwal area, is one of Lord Shiva's most important pilgrimages.
It is the most important of the Panch Kedar and one of the most important temples on the Chota Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand. The name of Lord Shiva appears to be resonating in the air among the magnificent snow-clad peaks, forests, and lovely meadows of the Himalayan lower mountain range. Kedarnath is located near the head of the Mandakini river at an elevation of 3584 meters, which commemorates Lord Shiva's magnificence.
The place is reachable by Kandi, Dandi, trek, or helicopter during the peak season of the Kedarnath yatra. Kedarnath is also easily accessible by plane, train and car. The spiritual environment created by the region's serene, magnificent, and undistributed scenery more than compensates for the hard travel to Shiva's enormous shrine. 
The best month to do Kedarnath yatra:
A spiritual destination packed with adventure, a vacation to Uttarakhand would be incomplete without a stop in Kedarnath, which is home to one of the holiest Char Dham temples, the Kedarnath Temple. Kedarnath is widely frequented for its temple, closed during the winter months due to cold weather and snowfall.
During its six-month closure period, between November and April, the Kedarnath festival idol and the palanquin are relocated to Ukhimath near Guptakashi. During this time, the priests and other temple dwellers relocate to neighboring communities. The best months to visit Kedarnath are from May to June and September to October when the cold isn't too unpleasant and the days are lovely. During the peak monsoon season, the path leading to the temple becomes extremely risky due to the high frequency of floods and landslides.
Kedarnath is one of the most striking sites for a Char Dham shrine due to its location in the Himalayan range and the overwhelming grandeur of the terrain. The temple is available to worshipers during the summer, is also the best season to visit Kedarnath.
