Hotel Shivbhumi

The Hotel Shivbhumi is at a perfect location if you plan to trek to Kedarnath Dham from Gaurikund. I stayed with my wife and son at this Hotel Shivbhumi. The staff is extremely courteous and helping. The Hotel Shivbhumi is situated very high Gaurikund and difficult to find. However, the owner came to receive us in the market. his staff carried our luggage to the room. We needed some fruit and one of the boys gladly bought it for us. Obviously we paid for the fruit and tipped the boy. But the point is we got a good service. The food was delicious. The room was clean with good duet. Bathroom was slightly worn but water was hot and we got refreshed after our long journey and before we started a long trek to Kedarnath. They don’t provide toiletries or towels, so make sure you bring yours or make arrangements with the Hotel Shivbhumi. They also provide cloak room service which we used as we could not carry everything as we were walking to the Dham and didn’t want to hire a pitthu.

Food and hospitality at shivbhumi is very good. Ravi and preetam were nice and helped with reaching the Hotel Shivbhumi by sending their staff. We had a good experience and good food and specially decent room with hot water. Over all we were group of 10 and every one liked including my mother who is 70 years old. Due to landscape in gaurikund we need to take around 80 steps but we called preetam and ravi they helped reach Hotel Shivbhumi easily and we hired a person who carries old people and who cannot walk in a basket on their back.
