Ukhimath
Everywhere the eye wanders there is pristine loveliness. In the far distance the snow-clad peaks of Chaukhamba and other mountains appear near yet so far. One can see the lovely Madhyamaheshwar Ganga with its emerald banks. Cradled in these picturesque surroundings is the enchanting village of Ukhimath. Ukhimath is the winter seat of Rawal Sahib of Kedarnath and its pujaris. The two great temples of Chandra Sekhara Mahadev and Ardha Narishwar dedicated to Lord Vishwanath the presiding deity of Varanasi are located here.

Kalimath
Almost 11 km from Guptkashi, on the left bank of Kali Ganga is the famous Siddha Peeth of Kalimath. The Siddha Peeth comprises of temples made of wood and iron surrounded by several smaller ones made of stone dedicated to different deities - Mahalaxmi, Mahasaraswati, Gauri Shankar Mahadev and Bhairav.

Sonprayag
43 km from Guptkashi, on the way to Kedarnath, Sonprayag is situated at the confluence of river Vasuki Ganga and Mandakani. The scene of two rivers in the exquisite mountain setting is a treat to behold. It is believed that a mere touch of the holy water of Son Prayag helps one to attain Vaikunth Dham or char-dham-yatra. This small sleepy place comes to life during yatra season when it buzzez with 'chattis' agencies, shops and coolies. One can drive 12.5 km to Trijuginarayan from here.
