Reaching Budha kedar from Tehri is quite simple. Follow the Bhilangana river upward pass through Simlashu to reach Godalia, where the road bifurcates . Now follow the Bal Ganga river beyond Ghanshyali and Siliyara villages and -10 km away will reach Chamiala, from where Budha Kedar is just a short distance.
The temple is situated at the confluence of the Bakhialya and Dharam Ganga rivers.It is believed that Duryodhan offered (tarpana) here .
The story associated with this temple tell us that when Pandavas were on the lookout for Shiva after the Kurukhtra battle thet encountered Rishi Balkhilya at Bhrigu Parbat. The Rishi directed them to the site of the confluence to meet an old man meditating there. But when the Pandavas got there, the old man vanished and a Shivling appeared in his place. Rishi Balkhilya instructed the Pandavas to embrace the Shivling in order to free themselves from their sins. Their impressions are stamped on this Shivling - The biggest Shivling in Northern India.
The Pandavas offered 'Tarpana' at the 'Prayag' and proceeded to Kedanath. This incident is recorded in
Kedarkhand (Shlokas 98 - 102).
By road, it is well connected with New Tehri (60km) and other important destinations of the region. Nearest railhead is at Rishikesh and nearest airport is Jolly Grant of Dehradun.
