India has 12 Jyotirlingas in the Hindu canon, and the highest of them, Kedarnath, sits at 3,583m, accessible only on foot.

The state also holds the highest Gurdwara in the world, a UNESCO valley that only opens during peak monsoon, and a glacier trek that requires an inner line permit even for Indian citizens.

The question isn’t whether to go. It’s how far in you’re willing to go.
