Tragedy strikes Kedarnath yatra: Two pilgrims killed
A landslide on the Kedarnath Yatra route in Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district left two pilgrims dead and two others injured on Wednesday.
The group was caught under falling boulders, reminding everyone just how risky this trek can get—especially when the weather turns rough.
TL;DR
Another landslide killed 1 person earlier
This isn't the only setback for pilgrims lately.
Just days earlier, a helicopter crash near Kedarnath claimed seven lives, including a young child and the pilot, during bad weather.
Another landslide also killed one person and injured two more, briefly pausing the Yatra.
Still, despite these challenges, thousands continue their journey to these sacred Himalayan shrines each year.
