A day after campaigning for the last phase of the staggered Lok Sabha elections spread over more than a month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes a two-day visit to Uttarakhand on May 18 to pay obeisance at the Himalayan shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath, he undertakes an arduous climb. 

The road leading to the Kedarnath shrine is a stiff uphill on which Prime Minister Modi walked with a stick on one hand and umbrella on the other as the weather in the valley gets worse. This is his fourth visit to Kedarnath since assuming charge as the Prime minister following the BJP’s massive win in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The Prime Minister has a deep sense of attachment towards Uttarakhand. 

His arduous trek is to reach Rudra cave and spend some time meditating at a cave. Following heavy rain and cold, arrangements for umbrellas and benches for sitting are also made on the trek. The Prime Minister will spend the night at the Rudra cave in Kedarnath and will fly to Badrinath on Sunday.
