Rishikesh to Kedarnath is 210 km (to Gaurikund), about 8–9 hrs by cab. One-way fares start at ₹4,000 (sedan) and the route runs Rishikesh → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Agastyamuni → Guptkashi → Sonprayag → Gaurikund. Booked with Shiv Ganga Travels, a Haridwar operator since 2010, with fixed fares and experienced hill drivers.
Starting from Rishikesh shaves about 25 km and a little traffic off the Haridwar run to Kedarnath — handy if you are already doing yoga or rafting here. The road is the classic Mandakini-valley route through Rudraprayag and Guptkashi. Your cab reaches Gaurikund; from there it is the 16 km trek, pony or a helicopter hop from Phata. A Guptkashi overnight is the comfortable way to do it.
