Dry Fruits

Water Bottle

Umbrella

If you are traveling to Kedarnath during the months of June to August, it is a must for you to carry umbrellas. These are the monsoon months and there are heavy rains during this season.  Even when you are traveling on other months it is advised to keep umbrellas with you.
