At 8:56 am, an avalanche occurred in the Chorabari area of Kedarnath. This is the second incident of an avalanche within a week. Prior to this, on June 8th, there was a glacier collapse in the Chorabari Glacier Zone in Kedarnath, resulting in a continuous flow of snow for a considerable period of time. During this time, several pilgrims present at the Kedarnath shrine captured this event on their mobile phones.

This same route witnessed heavy debris and water during the disaster of June 2013. Within the past ten months, the fifth incident of an avalanche has occurred. In September-October of the previous year, an avalanche also occurred in the same region. During that time, there was a snow shower in the area for five to seven minutes. The rapid downward movement of snow gave an indication that a significant amount of new snow had fallen from a considerable height.

During this event, devotees present at the Kedarnath temple, temple premises, and captured this incident on their mobile phones. District Disaster Management Officer Nandan Singh Rajwar stated that there was no damage to the entire Kedarpuri, including the Kedarnath temple, due to the avalanche in any way.

This incident occurred approximately six kilometers away from the temple area. It was mentioned that since the opening of the gates, avalanches have occurred in the Kedarnath region due to snowfall, which is a normal process.

On the other hand, Dr. Manish Mehta, a senior scientist at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology in Dehradun, stated that avalanches are a common occurrence in the Himalayan region.

Last year, there were three instances of snow avalanches. On September 22nd, around 4:30 pm, a partial snow avalanche occurred about three to four kilometers behind the Kedarnath temple. Following that, on October 1st, around 5:30 pm, another partial snow avalanche occurred around six to seven kilometers behind the temple. Then, on October 2nd, there was a snow avalanche approximately three kilometers above Chorabari Lake.
