Ukhimath is a small pilgrimage town in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, India. It stands at an elevation of approximately 1,300 meters above sea level and serves as the winter seat for the deities of Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar when the temples are closed due to snowfall. This town is an important religious destination and a gateway to several Himalayan treks, including the trek to Deoria Tal, a high altitude lake. The serene beauty of Ukhimath with its lush green landscapes and snow-capped mountain views offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of urban life. It is also a part of the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, which adds to the town's natural beauty. The Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath is a significant shrine that is frequented by devotees all year round. In winter months, the idols from Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar are brought to Ukhimath for worship. The town's traditional hill architecture and the panoramic view of the Himalayan peaks, such as Kedarnath, Neelkanth, Chaukhamba, and the Panchachuli range, add to its charm.
