'''Kedarnath''' (or '''Kedarnath Main''') and '''Kedarnath Dome''' (or '''Kedar Dome''') are two mountains in the [[Gangotri Group]] of peaks in the western [[Garhwal Division|Garhwal]] [[Himalaya]] in [[Uttarakhand]] state, [[India]]. Kedarnath (Main) lies on the main ridge that lies south of the [[Gangotri Glacier]], and Kedarnath Dome, a subpeak of the main peak, lies on a spur projecting towards the glacier, two kilometres northwest of Kedarnath. They are at a distance {{Convert|15|km|mi|0}} south of the [[Hindu]] holy site of [[Gaumukh]] (the source of the [[Ganges River]]). Kedarnath is the highest peak on the south side of the Gangotri Glacier, and Kedarnath Dome is the third highest.<ref name="him_alpine_style"/>

==Ascent==
Kedarnath and Kedarnath Dome were first climbed together, in 1947, by a [[Switzerland|Swiss]] team led by André Roch. Their route on Kedarnath Dome, the northwest flank, is still the standard route; it is straightforward and relatively low-angle, and is a popular [[skiing|ski]] ascent in the spring season. The east face of Kedarnath Dome was first climbed in 1989 by a [[Hungary|Hungarian]] expedition led by Attila Ozsváth. Their climb involved "sixty pitches of very hard climbing."<ref name="him_alpine_style"/>
